Extending predictive diagnostics to remote applications

Last month, a new, physically smaller version of the CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor was introduced. The system — only 19 cm wide by 27 cm high — allows predictive condition monitoring for rotating equipment in a greater number of…

Measure multiple parameters with this analytical platform

Endress+Hauser The Liquiline CM442 (photo) is a four-wire, two-parameter transmitter for analytical sensing applications. The device can accept data from two sensors and measure any combination of parameters, including turbidity and suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorine and conductivity. Using…

This controller offers trouble-free commissioning

The eControl 8611 is a high-performance universal controller for flowrate, pressure, temperature, pH, conductivity and ratio between fluid and gas flow. It can be commissioned quickly and covers a wide range of different applications. During the initial configuration, the intelligent,…

Save space with this benchtop NMR machine

The second-generation MQC benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyzer features improvements that help maximize laboratory bench workspace. It has a more compact size and an internal computer with operator interface, so no external PC is required. The MQC’s magnet, computer…

A foot controller without wires

steute Schaltgeräte The advantages of wireless communication are particularly obvious in the case of foot controls; there are no cables to trip over or restrict movements. With the RF GFI/GFIS series (photo), engineers not only can take advantage of such…

A Measurement Station for Remote Locations

AutoLog 14LP is the latest remote-terminal unit (RTU) for applications where low power is required. The 14LP can be monitored and controlled via Internet or radio, and allows users to collect data in applications such as measurement stations, Scada, level…

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…
