Less Calibration is Needed with this Hydrogen Sulfide Sensor

Typically, H 2 S gas sensors require calibration every 90 days — a period that is effectively doubled by the new Sierra Monitor 5100-05-IT (photo), which reportedly lasts six months between calibrations. A stand-alone module, the device comes with an…

This System Takes Control of Level-measurement Data

Alongside its well level-measurement control sensors, this firm is now offering complete systems for fill level and trend display, data storage and remote fill level enquiries. The product range Nivotec provides all the necessary fill level data on the spot…

This Radar Sensor Wears a Plastic Antenna

A new antenna system of plastic makes it possible to offer the Vegapuls 67 radar sensor at a considerably lower price, says the manufacturer. The sensor is suitable for application areas where, for economical reasons, ultrasonic instruments or capacitance probes…

When the Heat is on, this Device Keeps Pressure Gauges Cool

Extreme process temperatures reduce the accuracy, reliability, durability and lifespan of a pressure gauge. The Sta-Kool cooling element was designed specifically with high-temperature processing environments in mind. Under laboratory test conditions, the 316L stainless-steel Sta-Kool cooling element was able to…
