When Space is Limited, Consider this Gas Detector

The G450 Multi-gas Detector (photo) is said to offer exceptional confined space performance. The compact units incorporate one to four sensors, and have interchangeable battery packs for up to 25 hours continuous operation. The highly water-resistant housing has IP 67…

Calculate Physical Properties with this Enhanced Software

PhoPhyPlus 2 is a recently-released, advanced software for the calculation of physical properties of pure components and their mixtures over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. It quickly and accurately models thermodynamic (enthalpy, compressibility factor, and so on) and…

Wireless Transmitters Extend their Range

Wireless transmitters have been applied to a variety of applications. Some examples are monitoring temperatures in cold rooms (photo); monitoring temperatures in mobile situations, such as in railcars; and temperature measurement in harsh plant environments, such as in steel mills.…

A New Tool for Scientific Automation

A graphic display of curves is essential for optimizing controllers and setting drive axes. The new TwinCAT Scope (photo) features a separate Logger and Viewer, and has been redesigned for scientific automation. The Logger, which can be installed in a…

This non-intrusive flowmeter is quick to setup

The Fluxus F601 portable flowmeter measures non-invasively using ultrasound. The HybridTrek measuring mode and the advanced correction algorithms for pipe wall echoes and errors in transducer positioning, results in precise and reliable measurement under difficult conditions. Clamp-on transducers are simply…

HART communication is now possible with this gas monitor

The Ultima XE gas monitors with display (photo) are now available with HART field communications protocol. HART provides two-way digital communication between intelligent field instruments and host systems. Increased sensor data as well as convenient setup, calibration and diagnostics can…

Remote mass flowmeter for small lines in hazardous areas

Engineers who need to measure process gas, fuel gas or waste gases as well as air in small-line sizes will find the ST75 Flow Meter (photo) is now available in a remote mountable configuration for applications in hazardous areas or…

Track compressor health with this new monitor

This manufacturer is launching the next level of its tried-and-tested system for monitoring reciprocating compressors, the new RecipCOM generation. In addition to continuously monitoring the status of all critical compressor components, the RecipCOM system offers reliable realtime machinery protection and,…

This flow controller is unaffected by temperature and pressure

The family of B-Series mass flow controllers (photo) is designed to be insensitive to fluctuations in pressure and temperature. Each flow controller is built on a standard 1.125-in.-wide platform with a powerful user interface and local digital display. The mass…

This system tests small, uncatalyzed membrane samples

The Model 740 Membrane Test System (MTS) is the first commercial instrument designed specifically for measurement of the through-thickness resistance and conductivity of ionomer and polymer electrolyte membranes. Only a small sample of bare (non-catalyzed) membrane is required, eliminating the…
