Model 398 TUpH sensor

March 5, 2012

The Model 398 TUpH sensor features a helical reference pathway manufactured entirely from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) plastic. This material resists chemical attack, and the design protects the reference element by requiring contaminants to traverse a long, tortuous pathway before coming into contact with the internal reference electrode. A patented SILCORE triple-seal contaminant barrier further protects the integrity of the pH measurement, as does the unit’s titanium and Tefzel construction.

Promass F Coriolis mass flowmeter

March 5, 2012

Designed for applications requiring the most accurate measurement of large quantities — up to 80,806 lb/min — the PROline Promass F Coriolis mass flowmeter offers accurate and repeatable measurement (±0.1% of range). The dual-tube sensor’s fully welded design eliminates internal gaskets and reduces the possibility of leakage. Secondary containment is standard and provides another line of defense. The 10-in. sensor weighs only 880 lb and measures 72.3 in. long or less (150 lb flange).

X-am 7000

March 5, 2012

The X-am 7000 can be fitted with three electrochemical and two infrared optical or catalytic sensors, and can simultaneously measure up to five gases. A choice of over 25 sensors allows the detection of more than 100 gases and vapors. The instrument is dust- and splash-proof, as well as water-resistant with a water-ingress-protection rating of IP67. A high-delivery pump can draw in sample gas through a hose up to 150 ft (45 m) long.

MERIGAUGE

March 5, 2012

The digital MERIGAUGE provides local indication, signal transmission, or control for positive pressure or vacuum measurements. Pressure ranges are available to 6,000 psig at standard accuraccy of ±0.25% of full scale and optional accuracy of ±0.10% of full scale. A compound range of vacuum —14.7 to 0 to +50 psig is also available. Each gage can display in any of 12 field-selectable engineering units, including psig, ft or in. of water, in. or mm of mercury, bar, kPa, and user-configurable units.

ASL F100

March 5, 2012

The handheld ASL F100 boasts an accuracy (±0.02°C) and resolution (0.001°C) comparable to what is normally associated with a bench-topthermometer. Two inputs allow direct temperature display from Pt100 or thermistor probes, or the ability to display the temperature difference between them. Measurements can be logged directly to memory to a PC via a USB port; a stastical analysis of measurements, including average, minimum/maximum, and standard deviation, can also be displayed. Depending on the thermometer probe used, the F100’s range is –200°C to 850°C.

Mi and Si intelligent atomic absorption (AA) spectrometers

March 5, 2012

The benefits of the new Mi and Si “intelligent” atomic absorption (AA) spectrometers for use in high-throughput elemental analysis laboratories are outlined in this 8-page brochure. It explains in detail the principles of operation and the unique capabilities of the instruments, which incorporate intelligent Spectrometer Qualification (iSQ) to automatically test and confirm the device’s hardware performance.

Micro Motion F-Series compact Coriolis meters

March 5, 2012

The Micro Motion F-Series compact Coriolis meters are now available with additional digital protocols and Smart Meter Verification, an easy-to-use tool that monitors the structural and measurement integrity of the meter. These new capabilities are enabled by connectivity to the enhanced core processor and 2400S transmitter, both powered by Micro Motion MVD (multivariable digital) processing technology, which provides faster meter-response time. The 2400S transmitter option also enables DeviceNet and Profibus-DP communication protocols in an extremely compact package.

PRX line of proximity switches

March 5, 2012

The PRX line includes three different series of proximity switches. PRX-100 Series high-performance, moisture- and corrosion-resistant proximity switches are made from a modified polyphenylene oxide (Noryl). They are UL 508 listed and are designed to be used as safety switches. PRX-300 Series safety switches have a glass-filled nylon housing and are corrosion-resistant. They provide long-lasting performance and are easy to install in a variety of applications, including security systems, door interlocks, safety interlocks, position indication, and equipment automation.

Viatran networking system

March 5, 2012

The Viatran networking system (VNS) enables centralized wireless monitoring of sensors placed throughout any facility where measurement is critical. The VNS consists of the Viatran remote device (VRD) and the Viatran Hub (VHub). The VHub serves as the communication link for up to 10 VRDs. Each VHub sends the data to a flow computer, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, or distributed control system. VRDs can be either process- or pole-mounted, and are powered externally or by an internal nonrechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts at least one year.

DataBus cables

March 5, 2012

These low-capacitance DataBus cables for Foundation Fieldbus applications have improved temperature and use ratings, as well as expanded multi-pair capabilities. Their design and robust construction ensure consistently reliable performance and provide installation flexibility in diverse industrial environments, such as outdoor installations and sites that require multiple or extended cable runs. The 3076F – Type A single-pair cable carries 300 V, and has the manufacturer’s Beldfoil shield and a cold-bend temperature rating down to –40°C (as per UL 1581).
