Horiba Model VA-3000

The Horiba Model VA-3000 analyzer can measure NH3 slip in stack gas emissions by using two chemiluminescent analyzers in a single instrument case, thereby significantly reducing space requirements and equipment costs. This multi-gas instrument can provide up to three separate gas measurements or multiple ranges of the same gas. A combination of up to three analyzer modules can be installed within a single instrument case that can be mounted in a standard 19-in. rack.

Digiflow FlowX3

Digiflow FlowX3 is a complete range of solid plastic and metal paddle-wheel flow sensors, instruments and sensor installation fittings. Included are ultra-low flow sensors, adjustable flow switches and an insertion electromagnetic flow sensor. Instruments include modular design monitor/ transmitters and a batch controller for direct-to-sensor, panel, or wall mount installation

EP-IR spectroscopy analyzers

The rugged encoded photometric infrared (EP-IR) spectroscopy analyzers employ a highly-efficient modular optical system and a multi-channel precision rotary encoder, which is capable of acquiring spectra at rates up to 100 Hz. EP-IR is a possible alternative to nondispersive infrared (NDIR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and gas chromatographic technologies currently used for process monitoring and environmental applications. A single EPIR system can replace multiple NDIR modules.

OxyTrak flue gas oxygen analyzer

OxyTrak, an in situ flue gas oxygen analyzer, is self calibrating and requires no reference air. It uses a unique, miniaturized zirconium-oxide sensor with a sealed internal reference to accurately determine flue gas oxygen content, even with rapidly changing process conditions. With the sensor acting in “pump” mode, the current needed to maintain partial pressure equilibrium is proportional to the oxygen content. In addition, the Nernst voltage present during transients is used to instantly indicate the magnitude of oxygen content changes.

Gas Detector

This intrinsically safe gas detector uses plug-in modules to spot dangerous concentrations of over 50 toxic or explosive gases — from arsine to xylene. It is especially useful for areas where gases under pressure could pose flammability or poisoning problems. The plug-in modules simplify recalibration. Because each module is precision tuned to “see” a specific gas, recalibration is just a matter of pulling one module and replacing it with a new one, obviating the need for cumbersome calibration cylinders.

Wireless Level Field Unit

The new Wireless Level Field Unit is designed to measure hydrostatic level in a vented tank and is available with an integrated sensor or an extended sensor. In situations where the level measurement point is low to the ground or the tank is surrounded by a containment dike, the extended sensor allows for more advantageous positioning of the wireless transceiver without compromising accuracy. This Field Unit is self-contained, fully wireless, and samples pressure at regular intervals based upon user specification.

Modular Platform Components (MPC)

For use in the construction of compact and modular process analyzer samplehandling systems, the Swagelok modular platform components (MPC) system consists of a layer of fluid control components mounted atop a substrate layer containing specialized channel and flow components. It meets all the requirements of the ANSI/ISA 76.00.02 specification for the 1.5 in. (38.2 mm) footprint.

HM-BT-BAT (HART Modem, Bluetooth, Battery Powered)

The HM-BT-BAT (HART Modem, Bluetooth, Battery Powered) is said to be the only Bluetooth HART modem available to the market. By reducing the wiring requirements, and by its small size, lightweight, and durability, the HM-BT-BAT is ideal for portable field use. Productivity and safety are increased when the PC is not tethered to the HART instrument. Access HART instruments while safely on the ground. Instead of balancing a laptop on arms and legs, it can be placed securely on a table or chair up to 100 ft away. The HM-BT-BAT meets industry standards for both Bluetooth and HART connectivity.

SpeedTalker DN-BH

SpeedTalker DN-BH, the latest addition to its SpeedTalker range of shaft speed sensors. The new model offers unique DeviceNet connectivity, easier installation, and a compact, rugged NEMA 4X-rated stainless steel barrel housing. Designed to operate in a variety of demanding industrial environments, the SpeedTalker DN-BH sensor provides measured shaft RPM along with the status of up to four under/over speed alarms over a DeviceNet network. The SpeedTalker DN-BH sensor is ODVA conformance tested, easy to configure, and features an M12 micro connector for simple, quick installation.

INS-803

The INS-803 Managed Fast Ethernet for Industrial Ethernet is specially designed for connecting Ethernet-enabled devices, such as PLC, HMI, and DCS systems, in industrial field applications. The switch is reliable for keeping automation systems running smoothly and continuously. Its patentpending Fast Swapping function guarantees reliable operation by recovering in just a few milliseconds when devices are unplugged and then reconnected on-site.
