2600T safety pressure transmitter
According to this brochure, the 2600T safety pressure transmitter reduces the number of transmitters needed in SIL 2 and SIL 3 areas. The publication covers the transmitter’s functionality and principle of operation, and explains the significance of third-party certification by organizations such as TÜV. A bar chart compares the unit’s lifecycle costs to those of conventional transmitters, and a block diagram shows the functional modules that make up the transmitter’s diagnostic and redundant features.

AquaProbe 1 and 2 insertion electromagnetic flowmeters
Making their U.S. debut, AquaProbe 1 and 2 insertion electromagnetic flowmeters are debuting as a cost-effective alternative to full-bore meters as well as a convenient way to perform surveys on existing lines and meters. Intended for permanent installations where power is available, AquaProbe 1 connects with the company’s MagMaster transmitter. It offers 4–20-mA analog output and HART communication options. AquaProbe 2, powered by a battery pack, primarily serves temporary installations, such as checking, verifying and certifying meters. These flowmeters are available in lengths of 12, 20, 25 and 40 in., for pipe diameters ranging from 8 in. to 320 in. Accuracy is better than ±2% of flowrate, and battery life is up to five years.

Instrumentation for the Oil and Gas Industries
This 12-page brochure describes the company’s capabilities for optimizing plant assets via intelligent instrumentation within a straight digital architecture, as well as its full scope of services from start-up and commissioning through lifecycle support. A comprehensive graphic of oil and gas processing sequences indicates where specific instruments can measure, control and record data. More-detailed information on pressure and temperature instrumentation, flowmeters, analyzers, recorders and controllers is included, and final elements, such as pneumatic and electric actuators, intelligent positioners, and I/P converters, are summarized.

364 pressure and differential-pressure transmitter
The 364 pressure and differential-pressure transmitter features an innovative design that eliminates the need for bolts, gaskets and flanges — all traditional leak paths in pressure transmitters. A lightweight all-stainless-steel housing and process connection is standard, along with a Hastelloy C-276 diaphragm for corrosive process media. The device has a stability of ±0.15% of maximum span for a 10-yr period, which reduces calibration frequency. An on-board LCD display with an “Easy Steup” menu configuration simplifies installation and commissioning.
