The Jerguson Magnicator II FlashProof magnetic liquid-level indicator features a design upgrade that addresses two problems that are often encountered with standard level indicators: boiling fluids and flashing vapors. By employing a larger (3-in.) Sch. 40 pipe and two internal guide tubes, the device allows entrained gases that build up under the float to escape. The float is held to one side of the chamber to ensure an optimized magnetic field in close proximity to the indicator, transmitter or switches.

The new PG9607 piston gage measures absolute and gage pressures up to 500 kPa (72.5 psi). The piston gage is designed to meet the requirements of the National Measurement Institutes. Design innovations include a new high-performance 50-mm piston-cylinder design, and a 100-g mass load to allow a wide range of pressures to be defined by the single piston-cylinder assembly. The device uses DH Instruments AMH automatic mass-handling technology to allow for fully unattended testing, establishment of better reference vacuum, and improved long-term mass stability.

Quizix QX precision metering pumps are designed for pulse-free fluid delivery. They offer continuous, pulse-free pumping at a constant rate or constant pressure — an important objective for critical fluid-delivery and extraction applications such as catalyst injection and chromatography, lab-scale and pilot plant operations, and other applications where precision flowrates or volumetric measurements are critical. They can also be used to maintain a constant differential pressure by using inputs from remote pressure transducers.

The new FlexStream modular gas-standards-generating system uses proprietary Trace Source permeation tubes that add precise concentrations of sulfur compounds to nitrogen, ethylene or propylene matrices. Typical polymerization processes require monomers with concentrations less than 1 ppmw total sulfur, less than 1 ppmw H2S, and less than 50 ppbw of COS. Calibration standards at those levels are not readily available and tend to be unstable in storage.

The OneWireless Gauge Reader wirelessly monitors manual readings from existing dial gauges, allowing operators to analyze critical equipment-health and process information and make decisions that improve plant operations. The reader nonintrusively attaches to existing gauges without disrupting ongoing processes, and it is not necessary to remove old gauges, break pressure seals or run wires. The data it collects are displayed on both field devices and operator consoles in the control room.

The Optimass 1300 straight-tube Coriolis mass meter records mass flow, density, temperature and concentration of liquids and gases. It combines the straight-tube technology of the Optimass 7000 with the dual-tube configuration of the Optimass 1000, and features an optimized flow splitter to minimize pressure loss. It meets FM Class 1, Div. 1 requirements for use in hazardous conditions. It is made of stainless steel, and is not affected by installation constraints or external influences.

The UCL-520 Series ultrasonic level sensor is a two-wire transmitter that is built with a rugged polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) transducer so it can handle ultra-pure, corrosive and waste liquids. Its 3-in. minimum beam width permits easy installation in applications with limited space, and its minimum 8-in. deadband allows the maximum amount of media to fill the tank. The sensor is push-button-calibrated with a 6-segment liquid crystal display (LCD).

The Microspec MCP-100 online real-time water-in-solvents analyzer offers considerable savings over current technologies. It can replace equipment in labs where personnel perform routine liquid-sample applications that require titration to determine the quantity of water in the sample — with the MCP-100, this measurement is performed continuously.

Micro Motion 7835 Series density meters reduce project and installation costs in hazardous areas because they require neither barriers nor galvanic isolators. They are certified as explosionproof and flameproof, making them suitable for custody-transfer and fiscal applications in the oil and gas industries; they can also be used for routine control applications in chemical and other processing industries. The units provide high-accuracy measurements and require little maintenance.

Sitrans LVL100 and LVL200 vibratory switches indicate when the level of a liquid is sufficiently high or when a vessel needs to be refilled. They are equipped with an extremely reliable piezo actuator, and are suitable for high temperatures. If the electronics system detects damage or corrosion, the fail-safe switches trigger an alarm. The switches are compact and user-friendly, and can measure reliably even under changing conditions, such as when there are variations in the dielectric permit-tivity of a medium or upon the formation of vapor or bubbles.
