Turbine control and monitoring gets enhanced

This firm has enhanced its metsoDNA Turbine Control by integrating in fast turbine control and other features to improve its cost efficiency and ease of maintenance. The fast, redundant control handles control cycles down to 5 ms for any size…

Obtain Accurate Differential Pressure and Vacuum Readings

The Type 226A and 228A Baratron Differential Capacitance Manometers (photo) provide accurate and repeatable differential pressure and vacuum readings from 0.027 to 133 kPa at ambient temperature. The direct linear signals are accurate for very small pressure drops and flow…

A Photoionization Gas Detector that Monitors VOCs

The 2020ComboPRO (photo) is a photoionization detector for monitoring VOCs combined with an optional pre-filter tube for benzene measurement capability. Its display provides simultaneous measurements of realtime, peak, time-weighted average and short-term exposure level readings. With a substantial measurement range…

Use Standard PC Hardware to Control Field Devices

With the Softnet PN-IO Linux software controller, it is possible to control distributed field devices via Profinet with standard PC hardware, such as the Simatic Microbox PC. The computer functions as a PN I/O controller. Up to 64 I/O devices…

A Flow Switch for Water, Wastewater, Hydrocarbons and Others, in Municipal or Industrial Settings

Touting accuracy to ±2% of a set-point, with a 0.5-s response time and 1% repeatability, the NuTec FS2000H Flow Switch performs equally well in clean or dirty media and is unaffected by entrained particles or bubbles. With the standard inclusion…

This System Performs Calorimetry Mesurements in the Laboratory

The Atlas Calorimetry System has been recently introduced for performing heat-flow and power-compensatory calorimetry measurements. The system can generate power and enthalpy graphs at the click of a button. This, combined with the simple configuration of reaction temperatures, dosing quantities…

An Alarm Thermometer with One or Two Probes

This alarm thermometer can be used to ensure that temperature-sensitive chemicals stored in both refrigerators and freezers do not deteriorate. Featuring tamper-resistant audible and visual alarms, the instrument comes in a two-probe model (MM125; photo) that can monitor both refrigerators…

Use magnetostrictive or laser transmitters for level measurements

The LM80 laser transmitter (photo) can be used for noncontact level measurement and positioning in dry bulk and liquid level applications. Solid surfaces can be measured at any angle with the LM80, as well as moving targets, such as overhead…

Consider the advantages of electrochemical O2 analysis

Realtime monitoring of the oxygen concentration in waste gas plays a key role in explosion prevention. Using amphoteric O2 electrodes, there is no need for complex and costly sample handling methods. In contrast to these alternative analytical methods, this firm’s…

Size-up protein molecules without sacrificing samples

The new Zetasizer µV (photo) is an advanced light-scattering system for the characterization of proteins, other biomolecules and nanoparticles. The system is designed and optimized for maximum sensitivity and minimum sample volumes; just 2 µL of sample are required, allowing…
