Detect high solids level with customized extended rotaries

BinMaster This firm has introduced a series of extended rotaries (photo) for top-of-bin mounting when the rotary is used as a high-level alarm. These vertically extended rotaries are desirable as solid material will tend to be higher at the filling…

A digital level controller provides easy access to information

Emerson Process Management In addition to displacement sensor technology for measuring liquid level or the level of interface between two liquids, the Fieldvue DLC3020f (photo) uses the digital Foundation Fieldbus communication protocol to deliver diagnostics, alerts, and other information. The…

Operate this trackball with one or two hands

Operating and monitoring systems from the Screen-Tec T-Ex series (photo) feature a trackball that provides users with new operating options. Equipped with five push buttons, the trackball can be operated with one or both hands. The membrane keyboard/trackball unit and…

For Measuring Low Flowrates, Consider this Device

The mini CORI-Flow Series (photo) is a compact and cost-effective Coriolis mass flowmeter and controller for accurate measurement and control of very low flowrates from 100 mg/h up to 30 kg/h. The Coriolis sensor is said to feature superior response…

A Methane Sensor Approved for Mining Scenarios

According to the manufacturer, the Mining IR (MIR) model is a fixed methane-gas detector approved by the U.S. Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) as permissible for use in gaseous mines. The device promises an accuracy of ±0.25 vol.% from…

This Stream Selector System Facilitates Sample Analysis

The SSV Series stream selector system (photo) delivers a representative sample from multiple sample streams to a single analyzer. These modular assemblies are ANSI/ISA 76.00.02 compatible and accommodate multiple process streams in a small space. Each stream is controlled by…

This Family of Gear-Type Flowmeters Now has Four Members

Two new flowmeters have been added to the G Series, the G004 and G015. The flowmeters operate at maximum florates of 4 and 15 L/min respectively, with an accuracy of ±0.3% of reading across a 200-to-1 flow range. The G…

A Radical New Platform Design Delivers Smart Rheology Solutions

Launched last month, the Kinexus rotational rheometer platform (photo, p. 32D-4) enables users to spend less time learning how to interact with their system and more time investigating ways to characterize and enhance a material’s performance. Fully integrated into the…

Calibrate High-Quality Thermometers with this Instrument

The 4180 Series Precision Infrared Calibrators (photo) includes two new models, 4180 and 4181, which according to the manufacturer are easy enough to use in the field and accurate enough to use in the laboratory. The 4180 calibrator has a…

Transmit Temperature Readings Wirelessly with this Device

The Wtrans series now contains a new transmitter with M12 connection for adaption to existing Pt 1000 resistance thermometers (photo). Additional receiver designs are also available, which have two analog inputs instead of four, and also have two relays for…
