Flowrate or temperature readings from the firm’s ST and GF series thermal-dispersion mass flowmeters can be displayed remotely on the DM10, a loop-powered readout meter that can be inserted anywhere in the flowmeter’s 4–20-mA output loop. Measuring 3.15 in. high by 5.51 in. wide by 2.56 in. deep, the DM10 is scalable to ±1,999 digits and features oversized 1-in.-high characters for easy viewing.
Non-contact hot and cold surface temperature measurements of a pinpointed target area, or direct-contact measurements using any K-type thermocouple probe having a mini-style plug give the DT1000 dual-temperature infrared thermometer its versatility. It has a broad temperature range of –60°C to 500°C (–76°F to 932°F), and an accuracy of ±2% of reading or ±2°C. For infrared measurements, a bright “laser dot” sighting system helps pinpoint the center of the exact area to be measured — a 2-in. circle can be measured from a distance of 22 in.
The third edition of the “Steam & Fluid Control Designer’s Guide” has recently been published. It includes application and specification information on regulators, control valves, safety relief valves, condensate pumps, desuperheaters, steam traps, noise suppression products, strainers, check valves and pump protection equipment.
Manufacturers may be able to recover as much as 99.9% of their reusable solvent with the RESOLV-R 2 Model IST Series solvent reclaiming systems. The units are available in 2.6-, 4-, 6.6-, 11-, and 16-gal capacities for use either in normal locations or in Class I Div. I Group D explosionproof areas. They can be used with disposable nylon waste bags. A built-in forced-air fan handles condenser vapor cooling. Vacuum add-on units are available in either pneumatic or electronic versions to handle solvents with high boiling points.
These newly designed jet caps are available in galvanized or stainless steel in sizes from 3-in. to 32-in. diameters. The design has been optimized for improved air discharge with a minimum pressure loss and to prevent rain/water from entering the tubing system. Water is forced into a drip tube discharging out of the jet cap. The caps can be adapted to virtually any tubing system.
This electric- and steam-traced pre-insulated bundled tubing is covered with non-wicking, fibrous glass insulation and a tough PVC or urethane jacket. The electric-traced model features a self-regulating electric tracer and is typically used to maintain process temperatures up to 250°F without the need for dedicated temperature controllers. A light-steamtraced bundle provides freeze protection and temperature maintenace between 50°F and 200°F, and separates the process tubes from the tracer tubes by a layer of insulation.
Paratherm MG, a specialty version of the MR (mid-range) heating/cooling fluid, is certified HT-1 food grade by the NSF (the designation that succeeds the retired USDA H-1 certification). It is recommended for processes operating from 0°C to 260°C. Another NSF HT-1-certified fluid, Paratherm LR, operates at lower temperatures, from –40°C to 204°C. Paratherm CR, developed for use down to –100°C, has a low viscosity that permits higher fluid turbulence, resulting in faster heat removal than silicone liquids or d-limonene-based fluids.
The Uniflo inlet diffuser corrects flow imbalances and improves gas distribution in new or existing separators and distillation towers. It removes liquids and solids from the gas stream, dissipates high inlet gas velocities, and evenly distributes the gas in the vessel, eliminating channeling problems and re-entrainment of the liquid droplets in the mist eliminator. It also prevents gas from jetting into the liquid and the associated entrainment problems. It can be designed for vertical or horizontal separators and is available in a variety of alloys.
As their name indicates, the SS Harsh Environment Coalescing Filters are constructed of stainless steel (Type 304) and can be used under harsh conditions. They remove 99.99% of oil, water, rust and pipescale particles as small as 0.01 µm in size from compressed air and other gases. The filters are available in 1/4-in. to 1-in. line sizes with flow capacities to over 700 std. ft3/min. They come with automatic drains and a high-efficiency filter cartridge installed.
The COBRA N singlestage direct-driven rotary-screw dry vacuum pumps incorporate a monoblock, continuously variablepitch screw design, which allows them to operate more efficiently and provides a higher cfm-to-horsepower ratio than traditional dry screw vacuum pumps. They provide vacuum down to 0.0074 torr and pumping speeds up to 225 actual ft3/min. Direct-cooled and closed-loop air-cooling models are available.
