New thermowells reduce vibration and fatigue
The Rosemount Twisted Square thermowell (photo) is said to reduce dynamic stress, simplify process calculations and provide more accurate temperature measurements than other thermowells on the market. Twisted Square thermowells improve reliability and reduce risk of fatigue failure through their…
Valve World Show Preview
More than 600 exhibitors from around the world will be showcasing their products at Valve World Expo 2018, the 11th International Valve Trade Fair & Conference (www.valveworldexpo.com), which is taking place at the Düsseldorf fairgrounds November 27–29. The exhibition, which…
A solution to optimize motor performance in cooling towers
Series M Geareducers (photo) are designed and manufactured to directly replace other gearboxes in field-erected cooling towers. The Geareducer’s primary function is to reduce the speed of the electric motor to optimize fan performance by maximizing air movement through the…
Sight-glass-mounted camera enables remote vessel inspection
The EXPCMR-IP-POE-4MP-IR-SGM explosion-proof camera (photo) is a remote inspection device specifically designed for observation in hazardous locations. Operated remotely from a centralized control room, the camera’s image sensor is suitable for sight-glass applications and provides live feed from inside tanks,…
This pump handles solids with diameters up to 4 in.
This company’s vertical wet-pit cantilever pump (photo) features a fully recessed impeller that is designed for solids pumping in light to medium slurries in many applications, including floating retention-pond pumping systems. Flows up to 1,600 gal/min and heads up to…
This discharging system has built-in bag-piercing knives
The patented Material Master bulk-bag discharging system (photo) includes bag-piercing knives for the discharge of materials from bulk bags with or without an outlet spout. The system utilizes a two-ton chain hoist to lift the bulk bag into the carbon-steel…
These liquid-level sensors work when condensation is present
Typically, the presence of condensation substantially degrades the measurement signal strength of ultrasonic sensors, but new EchoTouch reflective ultrasonic liquid-level sensors (photo) work in areas with condensation. By orienting the transducer vertically, condensation runs off the unimpeded transducer face to…
These dryers feature a versatile base to accommodate auxiliaries
This company’s rugged fluid-bed dryers feature unitary steel bases as standard, which allow cover-lift hoists, process-air ductwork, control panels, monitoring instrumentation and other auxiliary equipment to be attached to the system as a single unit. Providing a dedicated, non-moving foundation,…
Signal transmission and functional safety combined
EtherCAT terminals (photo), part of this company’s ELX Series, have been expanded through the addition of analog input terminals with built-in TwinSAFE SC (single channel) technology. These highly compact I/O terminals can be used to support applications in hazardous areas…
Continuous vibration measurements improve uptime
The new 3561 FC vibration sensor (photo) improves uptime by adding remote, continuous vibration monitoring to virtually any rotating equipment. With a frequency range of 10 to 1,000 Hz, the 3561 FC detects and notifies users of conditional changes caused…
