Variable area flowmeters
05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: Swagelok
Swagelok variable area flowmeters (VAFs) are used to measure liquid and gas flow rates by means of a tapered tube and float and can provide highly accurate measurement with individually calibrated scales and a 10:1 turndown ratio.
Schmidt flow sensor
05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: Pacific Rim Technical Services
The Schmidt flow sensor SS 20.260 offers a measuring range of 0-50 m/s and an operating temperature range of up to 120°C. The temperature can be measured with an additional linear output, and a separate temperature sensor is not required. The unit has a robust construction to protect it against impact.
Wireless temperature and humidity system
05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: Testo Pty Ltd
The Saveris radio probes measure temperature and humidity. The probes save their measurement data and send it to the central base at regular intervals. If a limit value is exceeded, a radio link is established immediately.
Temperature and humidity sensors
05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: W&B Instruments Pty Ltd
Delta Ohm has released a series of analog and digital temperature and humidity transmitters. The HD9817 series feature compact self-contained transmitters with analog (0-1 V) and digital (RS232 and USB) outputs.
Hygienic flowmeters
05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
The HygienicMaster range of flowmeters is targeted primarily at the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The range provides accurate measurement in hygienic applications ranging from water through to fluids with extreme viscosities, high solid concentrations or low conductivity.
Pressure switch/transmitter
01 October, 2008 | Supplied by: AMS Instrumentation & Calibration Pty Ltd
The Noshok 800 Series indicating pressure switch/pressure transmitter provides continuous pressure monitoring and allows programming of the setpoints without pressurising.
Vibrating fork level switch
01 October, 2008 | Supplied by: Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
The NWS liquid level switch is designed as a 2- and 3-wire switch and can be universally used in vessels and pipelines. The NWS operates on the tuning fork principle in air at resonance frequency. A piezoelectric crystal is used for excitation of oscillations and for monitoring the actual oscillation frequency.
Single-board reconfigurable I/O platform
17 September, 2008 | Supplied by: National Instruments Aust Pty Ltd
National Instruments has released Single-Board RIO devices that offer engineers and scientists a low-cost, integrated hardware option for deploying embedded control and data acquisition applications for OEMs and machine builders.
High-speed data acquisition module
17 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Interworld Electronics and Computer Industries
Interworld Electronics has available the 104-AIO16A multifunction analog I/O board. Its features include 10 analog input ranges, a 1024 sample FIFO buffer, onboard over sampling for additional noise reduction and auto calibration to reduce converter offset and gain errors.
Measuring boiler and furnace temperatures — replacing welded thermocouples without shutting down
15 September, 2008 by Paul Aloia* | Supplied by: Moore Industries
Protection tubes and flexible sensors make it possible to replace thermocouples without shutting down the entire process for days or weeks.
Who adds value?
12 September, 2008 by John Immelman | Supplied by: Endress+Hauser Australia Pty Ltd
Building a greenfield process plant today inevitably throws up a host of challenges, but successful greenfield projects take advantage of a potent ingredient in the engineering chain: added value.
Wireless temperature and humidity sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering has introduced the SureCross temperature and humidity sensor, optimised for use with the company’s SureCross wireless network.
Strain gauges
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Applied Measurement Australia
The N11 series from Showa Measuring Instruments includes single axis, general purpose-type foil strain gauges.
Vibratory level switches
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Siemens Ltd
The Sitrans LVL100 and LVL200 vibratory switches are suitable for high and low detection of all liquid media, independent of mounting position. The compact, user-friendly switches measure reliably in dynamic conditions, such as variations in the dielectric permittivity of a medium or the formation of vapour or bubbles.
Density meter
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
Whether dealing with the concentration or the mixing ratio, the density of liquid media plays an important role in many processes such as in the food industry or chemistry.
