Safety glow mat

03 July, 2009 by

The Glow Hog mat is for use in any facility where emergency conditions may cause a reduction in light for evacuation or after-hours access.

Wireless discrete transmitter

03 July, 2009 by

Emerson Process Management has released wireless float switch solutions that combine its Mobrey float switches with the Rosemount 702 wireless discrete transmitter.

Thermal flowmeter

03 July, 2009 by

Sierra’s Steel-Trak model 640S immersible thermal mass flowmeter is now available in a special high-temperature option capable of operating in process temperatures up to 400 °C.

Turck inclinometer

01 April, 2009

Turck has introduced a dual-axis inclinometer sensor for angular tilt detection. The sensors feature compact rectangular housings and may be mounted at ±10, ±45, ±60 and ±85° angles.

The Sitrans FUP1010 check-metering kit is a portable clamp-on unit, designed for the water and wastewater industry to measure the performance of existing flowmeters with accuracy, performance, versatility and compatibility.

Liquid and gas flow measurement

01 April, 2009 by

Although differential pressure (DP) flowmeters are based on a relatively inexpensive and mature technology, selecting and installing these devices is not simple and requires a reasonable level of engineering skill. With the Deltatop, Endress+Hauser has implemented a solution by supplying a one-stop-shop solution. All the steps related to product selection, engineering, calibration and manufacturing are now bundled together with Endress+Hauser supplying the Deltatop as a total package.

Linear position sensors

01 April, 2009 by

The MTS Systems Sensors Division Temposonics linear-position sensors can be instrumental in improving the filling process for facilities that package a wide variety of products. Where a packaging facility once required a combination scale to switch back and forth between various products during packaging cycles, the MTS linear position sensors can be used in equipment that is more compact due to fewer moving parts, as the sensors can replace a number of other components in the machine.

Analog and digital temperature

01 April, 2009 by

Banner Engineering has introduced a new way to collect analog, digital and temperature information in hazardous areas. The system is a combination of wireless communication, battery technology and intrinsically safe electronics.

Solids flow sensor

31 March, 2009 by

FlowJam is a non-contact flow/no flow sensor for solids. It uses a microwave technology to give results under harsh conditions of dust and sunlight. It is suitable for detecting solid flows in hoppers, conveyors, screw conveyors, air slides, etc.

Broken bag detection

31 March, 2009 by

Dusty is a broken bag detection system. It uses a triboelectric measuring technique and detects solid particles in a gas flow. The particles must be 0.3 Âµm in size, or larger.

Interface level detection

03 November, 2008

Compared to a standard level measurement in liquids, the detection and measurement of interfaces have their own particular challenges, leaving many interface applications without reliable level measurements. Most popular today are the electronic or non-mechanical solutions with no moving mechanical parts which offer much higher long-term stability and low or no maintenance operation.
