Miniature solenoid valves for critical fluid control
The LFV Series 8000 two-way inert solenoid valve (photo) is a miniature device whose small size ensures a more compact instrument footprint and means less fluid is needed, enabling closer valve spacing. These two-way, chemically inert, isolation-style valves provide an…
Non-contacting RVDT sensors are shock and vibration resistant
The RV Series of rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT) position sensors (photo) offer highly accurate angular displacement measurement of rotating elements, such as quarter-turn ball and butterfly valves, actuators, throttlers and tensioners. With a shaft that rotates a full 360…
Achieve faster temperature calibration
The Jofra CTC-1205 compact temperature calibrator (photo) covers a temperature range of 100 to 1,205°C (212 to 2,201°F), with accuracy of±0.2°C (±0.36°F), and stability to±0.1°C (±0.18°F) for the total temperature range, along with improved calibration times when compared to its…
An all-in-one water meter for remote locations
Waterflux 3070 (photo) is said to be the first water meter with integrated pressure and temperature sensors. The meter features simplified installation, integrated diagnostics, a long battery lifetime, remote communication options and low overall maintenance requirements. The updated Waterflux 3070…
Effective field calibration for force-measuring equipment
This company has introduced two new portable calibration machines (photo) — the PCM, with a 2,000-lb f capacity, and the BCM, with a 10,000-lb f capacity. The PCM is capable of calibrating various types of load cells, hand-held force gages,…
NIR-based technique provides a simpler way to measure moisture
This company has developed an approach to moisture measurement that uses Near-Infrared (NIR) light, which can deliver immediate, laboratory-quality moisture readings. Traditional laboratory and online moisture-measurement techniques — while capable of providing comprehensive results — lack the simplicity and flexibility…
Small-footprint drives for laboratory fluid transfer
The new Masterflex L/S variable-speed console drives (photo) sit neatly on a bench or in a fume hood in any laboratory, providing simple operation with single-turn speed control. These drives accept nine different Masterflex L/S peristaltic-pump-head types. With a flow…
New series of monitors expands detection for specialty gases
The Pac 6000, 6500, 8000 and 8500 personal single-gas monitors (photo) detect not only standard gases, such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and oxygen (Pac 6000 and 6500), but also special gases, such as ozone, phosgene and nitrogen…
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…
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…
