Emerson Process Management Machinery protection and prediction of critical mechanical equipment has been integrated into the DeltaV digital automation system (photo). This new capability directly supports users’ goals for improved availability and performance. This integrated machinery protection-and-prediction solution easily connects…
Convert local flow signals for long distance transmission
GF Piping Systems Signet 8550 Meters (photo) convert the signal from a Signet flow sensor into a 4–20-mA signal for long distance transmission. Features include single or dual input/output, two optional relays for process control, and scalability for virtually any…
Use this simulation platform for chemicals research
The latest version of Materials Studio modeling and simulation platform is said to cut time to solutions in materials and chemical research. Designed for a wide range of applications, including catalysis, polymers and drug development, the updated software features improved…
Measure turbidity in the field with this portable instrument
Camlab The portable TB200 white-light turbidity meter (photo) is designed to quickly provide reliable onsite testing of water samples. The unit uses a white light source and a 90-deg infrared detection technique to meet specifications of EPA Standard 180.1. The…
A motion sensor for industrial equipment
Siemens Industry Sector The new, heavy-duty motion-sensing switch Sitrans WM100 (photo) is used to detect the absence or presence of motion on rotating, reciprocating or conveying equipment. The devices act as an early warning system to avoid costly process interruptions…
Detect high solids level with customized extended rotaries
This firm has introduced a series of extended rotaries for top-of-bin mounting when the rotary is used as a high-level alarm. These vertically extended rotaries are desirable, because solid material will tend to be higher at the filling point and…
Contact-free level sensing with this ultrasonic device
ASV Stübbe With the ultrasonic sensor ASV UFM (photo), contact-free level sensing of liquids and dry bulk goods can now be quickly and easily integrated into site installations. The compact device continuously controls the filling level by means of an…
This control switch is ideal in separation tanks
Fluid Components International The FlexSwitch FLT93S Flow/Level/Temperature Switch provides interface detection and control for separation tanks and other vessels with mixed density media. Unlike density displacers, which are often used for level and interface control, the FLT93S Switch relies on…
