The mini Cori-Flow (photo) is the latest model in this firm’s series of compact Coriolis Mass Flow Meters/Controllers, and is designed for accurate measurement and control of very low flowrates. The full-scale capacity of the device has been extended from…
The PCS7 to IEC 61850 TCP/IP communication blocks have enabled problem-free integration of IEC-61850-capable field devices into instrumentation and control systems based on Simatic PCS7 or S7. The plant operator thus has an integral automation and control solution that can…
The Compod programmable control module, coupled with Smart-Trak mass flowmeters (MFMs) and controllers (photo), greatly simplifies basic flow control installations and permits networking of multiple instruments using open-source Modbus RTU protocol. The unit can be configured for a variety of…
This company has integrated machinery condition-analysis technology into the metsoDNA CR automation system. The application, called DNAmachineAssessor, enables maintenance staff to have first-hand access to machine vibration data and mechanical component condition analysis through the same user interface (photo), which…
Hamilton The ARC concept (photo) is a new family of sensors for process control, which includes pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity measurements. More than just sensors, the devices are complete solutions that include sensors, and direct standard interface to the…
The XR360 is the latest technology for accelerated exposure testing of complete photovoltaic (PV) modules. The unit integrates recent developments in environmental-chamber and xenon solar-simulation technology. The XR360 is capable of testing modules up to 1.9 m X 1.4 m,…
JUMO The tecLine LF-4P (photo) is a new cell with four-pin technology for measuring conductivity. The device fills the gap between two-electrode cells and inductive measurement technology, and makes it possible to cover a very wide measurement range from about…
ITW ActiveTouch ITW ActiveMetal switches (photo) have been introduced to this firm’s ActiveTouch line of switch products. The patented pushbutton switch employs a low-voltage subminiature transducer, which generates megahertz frequency vibration to the pushbutton a thousand times per second and…
Electro-Chemical Devices Accurate fluoride-ion measurements are required for applications including semiconductor fabrication and glass manufacturing. The S10 and S17 Fluoride pIon Sensors (photo) measure the activity of free fluoride ions in solution in concentration from 0.02 to 2,000 ppm over…
The Model VIP flow conditioner offers this company’s tab-type flow-conditioning technology in a low-cost, simply installed insertion panel format. It avoids the need, as with many flowmeter types, to have a significant straight run of pipe to allow a repeatable,…
