Wet chemistry moves into the process for online monitoring

The Rosemount Analytical online wet-chemistry analyzers for sodium (photo), silica, phosphate, hydrazine and ammonia are used for process monitoring in the power and ultrapure water industries. The analyzers are easy to use. Pressing one button starts, calibrates and puts the…

Software for NIR administration, network and remote access

SimPlus software allows users to monitor and administer multiple DA 7200 near-infrared (NIR) analysis systems (onsite or remote installations) from one location. Users can also access data and results, update calibrations and create reports. As a result, quality control managers…

Model 5100HD gas analyzer

Ametek Process Instrumentation This gas analyzer has a two-laser platform Two separate lasers are installed in the Model 5100HD gas analyzer (photo). They share a common optical path through the sample, allowing the instrument to measure two analytes simultaneously, which…

New tools included in this flowsheet simulator

HSC Chemistry 7.0 is process flowsheet simulation software that has four distinct modes — particles, reaction, distribution and experimental. The latest version of the software has added drawing features, new spreadsheet features and routines for mass balancing and data reconciliation.…

These flow transmitters have a new look and enhanced features

The stainless-steel housing in the design and their removable displays with backlighting are the most obvious changes to the new Element Series of digital flow transmitters. However, the redesigned housing also conceals numerous technical improvements as a result of re-engineering.…

This calibrator handles both analog and digital instruments

Fluke The 5080A multi-product calibrator (photo) handles both analog and digital test instruments. Its high voltage and current compliance allows the 5080A to calibrate accurately and economically. The instrument is said to be easy to use and works with analog…

A handheld photometer for the control of plastics color

X-Rite Europe The MA94, 96 and 98 multi-angle spectrophotometers can help manufacturers monitor and maintain precise control of the color of plastics they blend into their process. The MA94 and 96 (photo) are next generation, improved versions of the company’s…

Temperature control keeps these field spectrometers steady

Ocean Optics The SteadiQ field-portable spectrometer (photo) provides a temperature-controlled atmosphere, helping to stabilize temperature effects and eliminate temperature drift in inclement conditions or extreme temperatures from –20 to 50°C. Available in both ultraviolet (200–1,100 nm) and visible-near infrared (400–2,500…

Expanding ISO/IEC accreditation of flow calibration facilities

    Emerson Process Management   This firm has completed a global network of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services. The network makes available accredited calibrations from the Coriolis production calibration facilities at centers in Boulder, Colo., Ede, the Netherlands, and…

Cross-correlate UV and IR data with this technology

The Model IPS-4 full-spectrum analyzer performs online measurements of component concentration in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum using diode-array detection, and simultaneously in the infrared (IR) spectrum using single-beam, multi-wavelength technology. The measurements are then cross-correlated and further verified to avoid…
