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…
This firm has received cUL Certification for its 90A Annunciator (photo), making it possible for the device to be used in applications that require compliance to the Canadian safety requirements. The 90A performs many new functions, consolidating the amount of…
Boasting an in-house design and accurate CO 2 detection between 0 – 10,000 ppm, the ZG106A-M has a uniquely low parts count, making it an economically competitive option for determining indoor air quality, safety, and other monitoring criteria. The device…
The Lancom 200 (photo) was developed specifically for oil- and coal-fired boiler systems that require periodic monitoring of the sulfuric acid dewpoint temperature to maintain boiler efficiency, prevent corrosion or to evaluate the effectiveness of fuel additives and changes in…
