New software release for P&ID design
Last month, this company released Visio P&ID Process Designer 2020 (VPID 2020), a software platform envisioned to create smart piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and process-flow diagrams (PFDs). VPID 2020 is equipped with enhanced functionalities on a Visio-based platform and…
Analog and digital interface in a single sensor
Due to Dual Channel functionality —which enables sensor operation to be analog, digital or both simultaneously — this company’s process sensors, including the CombiLyz AFI conductivity sensor and the PP20H pressure sensor (photo), work both in conventional control topologies and…
A new check valve with redundant sealing
The new Model CV check valve (photo) features a sealing system with a self-centering piston, which reliably prevents backflow of liquid and gaseous media. The reliability of the new instrumentation valve is mainly due to its redundant sealing, consisting of…
Focus on Solids Handling
This bulk-bag conditioner has a rotary lift platform The new hydraulic bulk-bag conditioner with rotary lift platform (photo) quickly and safely returns solidified materials in bulk bags to a free-flowing state. The operator loads the bulk bag into the unit…
The next evolutionary level of explosion protection
Similar to a process control system, the iQ Safety Cockpit offers an overview of all relevant protective and equipment system status, which can also be monitored in real time from any location remotely via a smartphone. Detailed, automatic and semi-automatic…
A laboratory mixer for high-containment applications
This company has built the smallest machine in its company history in order to meet the highly specialized demands of the high-containment segment. The new Ploughshare laboratory mixer type L1 (photo) supplements the L series and has a drum volume…
Diesel-tank level transmitters for oil-and-gas applications
The Model 575 intrinsically safe level transmitter (photo, p. 24) and the Model DDMC meter/controller can continuously monitor the fuel level in diesel storage tanks. The Model 575 level transmitter is placed in the liquid, and an optional conduit adapter…
Non-intrusive measurement of very low liquid flows
The Fluxus F721 XLF (photo) is a non-intrusive ultrasonic flowmeter designed to provide precise measurement of flowrates of 3 L/h and below in small pipes with diameters from 10 to 50 mm. Since the clamp-on transducers are mounted on the…
New PLC with explosion-proof options
The HI-TBS programmable logic controller (PLC; photo) combines ultra-bright LED technology with 0.1% accuracy to deliver a customizable digital panel meter for applicational use across a wide variety of industries. In addition to serving as a PLC, the TBS is…
Quantitative/qualitative analysis of gases at ambient pressure
OmniStar (photo) and ThermoStar GSD 350 are compact, portable benchtop instruments for analyzing gases at atmospheric pressure. They are particularly used for applications in chemical processes, in the semiconductor industry, metallurgy, fermentation, catalysis, freeze-drying and environmental analysis. The gas inlet…
