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…

Monitor malfunctions with this new vibration switch

These vibration switches and monitors minimize production shutdown and time and repair costs by measuring the total accelerated force (shock) present on a machine. Acceleration measurements show the total destructive force acting on a machine. The new cast iron EURO366G…

Simplify Fieldbus testing with this product’s bus health test

Two models have been added to this firm’s range of Color ScopeMeter Test Tools (photo) with automated test capability for Fieldbus, ProfiBus and other industrial communication protocols. The new models, the ScopeMeter 225C (200 MHz, 2.5 GS/s) and 215C (100…

This module lets flowmeters communicate via fieldbus

Siemmens This firm has developed a new communication module (photo) for connecting flow instruments to Foundation Fieldbus (FF). The module is suitable for the series of Sitrans F M 6000 and Sitrans F C MASS 6000 devices, which are part…

goVisc 500

The new goVisc 500 is a compact, high-performance precision viscometer with realtime viscosity outputs. It can be used in any laboratory-scale application for continuous viscosity measurement, and it is especially suitable for automated applications. The hygienic sensor is an all-welded…
