An enhanced polymer for wear-resistant applications
This company has upgraded its Thermec range of enhanced polymers, with the introduction of a cost-efficient product based on polyether ether ketone (PEEK), blended with a solid polymeric lubricant. The new material has been specially developed to replace polyamide-imides (PAI),…
Measure oxygen in processes with this durable device
The Transic100LP oxygen transmitter uses tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TLDS) for repeatable and drift-free measurements, independent of process or sample gas flow, temperature and pressure. The device has no moving parts, and its optical components demonstrate durability, even when faced…
Robotic glove uses micromotors with graphite commutation
Musculoskeletal disorders are a common occupational disease in the E.U. and North America and are one of the most common causes for long-term absence from work. Wearables — clothing enhanced through technology — offer an approach for reducing these injuries.…
A defoamer that offers high performance without side effects
When it comes to developing defoamers (photo) for paints and coatings, the general rule is that the stronger the defoaming strength, the higher the incompatibility. The Coatings and Additive business of this company has developed a novel defoamer, TEGO Foamex…
Use this pump in applications requiring low NPSHr
The recently enhanced LMV 803Lr (photo) is a direct-drive, vertical inline centrifugal pump designed to handle high flowrates. Featuring a novel inducer technology and backswept impeller, the pump can achieve ultra-low NPSHr (net positive suction head required) without the risk…
A high-performance mixing and pumping skid system
This company recently designed a new skid system (photo) capable of mixing and pumping low to moderately viscous products. The Model VSL-400 system features a conical vessel on a movable skid with a progressive-cavity pump rated for flowrates ranging from…
This metering pump precisely doses harsh chemicals
The Chem-Pro CD1 multi-diaphragm metering pump (photo) offers continuous pumping for gas-forming chemicals, such as peracetic acid or sodium hypochlorite. The CD1’s drive technology is self-priming and will not vapor lock. The CD1 features a patented ultra-durable diaphragm, called DiaFlex,…
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…
Focus on Valves
A new motorized control valve for the semiconductor industry The 2/2-way diaphragm globe valve C53 iComLine (photo) was developed for precise and demanding control applications in semiconductor production. The sealing concept of the valve is based on the…
