The advantages of tantalum more affordable in a Coriolis flowmeter

A new tantalum version of the Optimass 7300 Coriolis mass flowmeter (photo) has recently been introduced for applications involving highly aggressive and corrosive fluids. Generally, the wall thicknesses of Coriolis measuring tubes are significantly less than those of the process…

These transmitters are for higher temperature water and corrosives

Made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), these flowrate transmitters offer heat resistance in processing corrosive fluids, water, brine and low-viscosity fluids in water treatment, chemical and desalination applications. The P420 Series (photo) offers a wide selection of cost-effective plastic flowmeters…

Better accuracy, reliability for harsh high-temperature environments

The R300 Series temperature sensor (photo, p. 61) is targeted for use in potential exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) applications where operating temperatures can reach 300°C (572°F). The R300 Series uses RTD (resistance temperature detector) technology and features a robust, stainless-steel,…

Realtime viscosity monitoring, even at high pressure

The new XL7-HT2 high-temperature viscometer (photo) provides continuous realtime viscometry measurement of fluids at up to 450°C without special cooling. The device has no moving parts, and the sensor is an all-welded construction that can be mounted at any location…
