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…

For clean processes, this magmeter has onboard sensor memory

This range of electromagnetic flowmeters is designed for clean applications in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Part of the new FlowMaster product family, the HygienicMaster magmeter (photo) is available in sizes from 1/10 to 4 in. It…

A blanket gas regulator for lower-volume processes

The Model 3011/3041 blanket-gas-regulator product line now includes a ½-in. connection for lower volume processes that require smaller flow capacities. The new ½-in. size connection is available with an optional sanitary fitting or quick-disconnect linkages. The regulator is constructed of…

This mini data logger handles lots of data points

CiK Solutions The MSR165 (photo) is a miniature, universal data logger for measuring and storing different physical parameters. The device is equipped with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor with integrated temperature measurement, a pressure sensor and a three-axis accelerometer.…

NIR moves from the laboratory to production environment

NIRQuest is a fiber-optic, near-infrared spectrometer easily adaptable for cost-effective, online process control measurements. The instrument covers the spectral range from 900 to 2,500 nm, making it suitable for applications such as moisture detection in grains and meats, materials characterization…

Detect level of bulk solids without making direct contact

VEGA Grieshaber The microwave barrier Vegamip 61 (photo) is designed for the requirements of the bulk solids industry. The microwave barrier measures without making direct contact with the medium, which is particularly advantageous when dealing with abrasive materials or very…

The launch of full redundancy for Smart Wireless monitoring

Emerson Process Management Available with the DeltaV S-series digital automation system, full redundancy (photo) protects the wireless network from any single point of failure by allowing primary failover to ensure that data are always delivered, even if there is a…

Measure hydrocarbons with ppb resolution

Utilizing a high-performance, low-noise flame-ionization-detector (FID) subsystem and logarithmic amplifier that decreases drift and thermal noise, the Servopro FID (photo) offers accurate (100 ppb resolution) measurement of hydrocarbons. With all flow electronically regulated and temperature regulated, the system offers a…

This software allows data exchange for 3-D modeling

Aveva Solutions The Mechanical Equipment Interface product (photo) is designed to allow integration of modeling information between otherwise incompatible three-dimensional (3-D) design systems. In particular, plant piping designers often have to integrate suppliers’ equipment models that have been created in…
