Siemens Industry Automation For the first time, this firm has developed products for WirelessHart communication. The new product family comprises two transmitters, a gateway to Industrial Ethernet and software, as well as an adapter for process instruments in preparation. Both…
Michell Instruments The Optidew Transportable dew-point hygrometer (photo) combines the drift-free performance of the chilled-mirror principle with the convenience of a transportable instrument. Housed in a specially designed case, the device is both fully self-contained as well as small and…
Sierra Instruments This new line of GHG mass flowmeters (photos, top right) is certified by the manufacturer for compliance with the U.S. EPA’s recent greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting rule (40 CFR Part 98; for more see CE, March, p. 17).…
The DMCX1 model predictive control (MPC) software is a re-write of a 1990s-era dynamic matrix control (DMC) algorithm. The adjusted process-control algorithm uses modern compilers and software technology, and is ten times faster than previous versions of the modeling software…
Swagelok The new compact gage valve (photo) is designed with a smaller footprint than conventional assemblies for quick, convenient access for the isolation and venting of pressure gages. Tube-fitting end connections reduce valve installation time and cost, and provide robust…
This disposable temperature sensor can be used for filtration and chromatography processes, as well as filling operations and general processing. The single-use sensor is connected to a monitor via a reusable 10-ft cable. The sensor will stand up to gamma-wavelengh…
The MicroPulse is a solid-state means of producing small pulses of various gases. It is intended as an alternative to mechanical syringes. The compact instrument contains a miniature heat exchanger and precision temperature controller that can be fitted into process-control…
Concoa This new series of Mass Flowmeters and Controllers (photo) is designed to accurately monitor and control the flow of a wide range of gases. Series MFM Thermal Mass Flowmeters and MFC Thermal Mass Flow Controllers have a maximum working…
This newly introduced, horizontal rotary extension (photo) provides the ability to install a rotary through the side of a bin wall (such as those in concrete silos) up to 12-in. thick. This optional assembly includes an extended drive shaft with…
Thermo Fisher Scientific This new line of viscometers includes three models (photo): the Viscotester E, for automatic flow-curve measurements with full PC control; the Viscotester D, for routine viscosity measurements with data transfer; and the Viscotester C, for easy, fast…
