Focus on Laboratory Equipment
Take groundwater samples with this device This company recently acquired the Snap Sampler (photo) passive groundwater sampling technology from ProHydro, Inc. The Snap Sampler system (U.S. Patent 7,178,415) employs a unique double-ended bottle design with “snap” sealing caps that captures…
These AODD pumps have a safety-enhancing design
New C-Series air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps (photo) are designed to enable the housing parts to be tightened to each other via housing bolts. Rather than using single bolts that press against the housing, all of the C-Series’ bolts are tightened…
Cybersecurity for legacy control systems
SerialTap (photo) is a new cybersecurity solution for legacy industrial control networks that rely on serial communication protocols, such as RS-485 and RS-232. SerialTap consists of a patented sensing device that passively intercepts serial communications on legacy industrial control networks…
New motor options for drum pumps
This company’s Finish Thompson drum pumps and barrel-emptying pumps are now available with the TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) IP55 motor (photo). The new motors include a powerful 1,000-W continuous-duty universal motor providing variable-speed operation from 0 to 12,000 rpm. The…
A pressure gage for frigid conditions
The T6500 pressure gage (photo) is designed for use in environments with extremely low temperatures. The 100-mm solid-front stainless-steel pressure gage features several design considerations to optimize its configuration for extreme conditions. The XQC option includes a low-temperature-rated silicone fill…
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…
