A new NDIR sensor measures CO in the volume-percent range

FlowEVO CO (100 vol.%) sensors (photo, p. 30) complement the new series of non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors, which already includes the FlowEVO CO (2,000 ppm). The sensors can be used for monitoring CO in many sectors, including gas analysis or…

A clever alternative to vibrating-fork level sensors

The CleverLevel series of level sensors has been expanded with two new variants, the LBFH and LBFI (photo). They are available with two switching outputs, qTeach and a 360-deg output status indicator. Like their predecessors, the level switches are based…

Reduce waste in sealant and adhesive applications

The Hydraulic Fixed Ratio (HFR) Metering System (photo, p. 29) improves throughput and significantly reduces waste and rework in adhesive and sealant dispense applications. The HFR is a meter, mix and dispense system that is capable of processing multiple sealant…

These pneumatic valves reduce costs for compressed air

Much of a plant’s air costs can be associated with inappropriate uses of (or artificial demand for) compressed air. This company’s Air Saver Unit (ASU) pneumatic valves (photo) save energy by interrupting the flow of compressed air to blowing end…

A touchscreen table for interactive projects

The Lift & Tilt touchscreen table (photo) is now available with a 65-in. display. The ample workspace of the display and the electrically adjustable height and tilt angle enable group interactivity, ideal for team review of collaborative or data-driven applications.…

Monitor leaks in pressure-relief valves with this switch device

FLT93L Series FlexSwitch (photo) accurately monitors pressure-relief valves for escaping flow with a flow-sensing switch-alarm assembly that is based on thermal-dispersion technology. The FLT93L switch detects leaking or seeping gas in lines to alert engineers to overpressurization. It issues a…

A range of rotameters with corrosion resistance

Instruments in this company’s PTFE/PFA Model L range of rotameters (photo) are constructed of rigid frames and inert wetted parts. Made of perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), the meters are resistant to ambient corrosive media. Constructed with…

This valve actuator has safety functions

The TriVAX product family (photo) provides confidence through traceable, proven, transparent safety functions. Along with the company’s smart Partial Stroke Test (sPST) integrated into the valve actuator, these functions include a hydraulic-circuit safety system with high-quality components, as well as…

These venting systems are now approved for metal dust

The Q-Rohr family of indoor flameless-venting products (photo) has recently been approved for use with metal dusts. Q-Rohr systems can also be used with other types of dusts, gases and hybrid mixtures. These indoor systems eliminate the need for relocating…

Research Projects: The Importance of “Cold Eyes” Project Reviews

Follow this guidance to carry out independent project reviews of research projects that are both valuable and effective — and pain free   Independent project reviews (IPRs) are a common tool used to control, review and validate a project before…
