Monitor/diagnose Profibus networks with this coupler

PB-XEPI is an Ethernet-Profibus coupler (photo) with integrated web-server software and diagnostics functionality. For the first time ever, users can monitor a large number of operating Profibus networks in a parallel and continuous manner. The coupler can easily be integrated…

A new IR thermometer for industrial applications

Raytek CM (photo) is a compact, integrated infrared (IR) noncontact thermometer intended for continuous temperature monitoring in a wide range of industrial manufacturing processes. The IP65-sealed, single-piece integrated sensor can easily replace traditional contact probes with a J- or K-type…

Moisture and solids analyzer cools 25% faster

The Computrac MAX 4000XL moisture and solids analyzer (photo) is said to provide the latest in rapid loss-on-drying technology available today. The instrument facilitates faster throughput via a forced-air cooling system, which allows it to cool from test temperature to…

Monitor hydrogen sulfide in water with these sensors

Electrochemical Devices S10 and S17 Sulfide Analytical Sensors (photo) provide accurate, reliable analysis of sulfide levels in water-treatment, sewage and wastewater-treatment applications. The S10 Sensor is an immersion- or insertion-style sensor, while the S17 is a valve-retractable-style sensor. Both feature…

RNS and RWS Series flowmeters

The RNS and RWS Series flowmeters are designed to measure non-condensing steam and saturated process steam at pressures of up to 150 psi in energy-related applications. Both series types have no moving parts and require negligible maintenance. All meters in…

Blue- and white-light LEDs provide illumination for this scope

Spectronics The CB-400 Cobra-4 borescope (photo) features a dual head blue- and white-light LED (light-emitting diode) to allow technicians to inspect and check for leaks in hard-to-see components without disassembly. The blue LED is designed for fluorescent leak detection while…

Plugging is not an issue with this phosphorus analyzer

ASA Analytics The ChemScan mini oP analyzer (photo) for ortho-phosphorus analysis features flow paths designed to avoid plugging. The analyzer uses large orifice sizes, compared to capillary tubes and needle valves of most other analyzers. The unit operates for three…
