trailer-mounted watertube boiler

This trailer-mounted watertube boiler provides steam during planned shutdowns or emergency situations. It burns either natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil, has a design pressure of 395 psi (typical operation is 125–360 psi), and provides 75,000 lb/h of saturated steam. Other models are available to handle a wide range of pressures, temperatures, and flowrates. Installation is simple and requires a single electrical connection and easily accessible piping connections.

Cyclops portable infrared thermometers

The Cyclops portable infrared thermometers for noncontact industrial temperature measurement in the 200–3,000°C range now offer improved efficiency and accuracy. In addition, all models include Bluetooth connectivity as a standard feature, eliminating the need for cable connection to a recording device and making them easier and safer to use. The reliable, battery-powered thermometers may be used in a wide range of industries, including metals, glass, petrochemicals, and plastics.

AST4600 and AST46HA Series explosionproof pressure transmitters

The AST4600 and AST46HA Series explosionproof pressure transmitters are now available in new materials and with new pressure ranges and options. The expanded pressure range of 0–2.5 psi to 20,000 psi addresses the need for high- pressure transmitters capable of withstanding cycling; a vented gauge reference allows for use at low pressures. A failure-mode indicator option provides better system control in the event of sensor failure. F250C female process ports allow robust high-pressure connections.

SZ-100 nanopartica series instruments

The SZ-100 nanopartica series instruments analyze key physical properties of small particles, including size and zeta potential. Typical applications include nanoparticles, colloids, proteins, biomolecules, and emulsions. The particle size analysis function employs dynamic light scattering (DLS) to make both right-angle (90 deg.) and backscatter (173 deg.) size measurements for samples as small as 10 µL. This feature provides maximum sensitivity and allows the user to optimize measurement conditions for all possible sample types.

CXS160 and CXS250 dry vacuum pumps

The CXS160 and CXS250 dry vacuum pumps can continuously pump up to 1 L/min of liquid and up to 25-L slugs without stopping, and can achieve an ultimate vacuum as low as 10–3 mbar with no contamination of the process stream or cooling water and no effluent generation. They feature tapered-screw technology that produces smooth, gradual compression along the length of the rotor for improved thermal control. They have low acoustic output (64 dB), and their flooded air-gap potted motors are up to 15% more efficient than standard motors.

Chem Proline polyethylene (PE) piping system

Chem Proline is a crack-resistant polyethylene (PE) piping system designed for the harshest liquid chemical applications, such as those handling sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, and weak acids. The complete system includes pipe, fittings, valves, injection quills, and chemical feed skids. Made from the latest generation of PE resin (PE100-RC), Chem Proline pipe and fittings are a lower-cost alternative to metal, fiberglass-reinforced plastic, and lined-steel pipe, and they have a design life expectancy of up to 50 years.

UltraCap H.D. high-capacity inline capsule filter

The UltraCap H.D. high-capacity inline capsule filter is designed for seamless integration into single-use systems (SUSs), such as the firm’s own One-Touch SUS as well as compatible SUSs from other companies, for critical pharmaceutical and biomanufacturing applications. It is available with removal ratings from 0.04 µm to 99 µm. Filter membrane materials include polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyethersulfone (PES), polypropylene (PP), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Type 304 stainless steel ECO-pipe

The thin-walled Type 304 stainless steel ECO-pipe is an economical solution for stainless steel pipe systems that require corrosion resistance as well as pleasing aesthetics. It uses the firm’s ProPress pipe-joining technology — a faster and more-reliable alternative to welding that makes watertight and gas-tight connections in less than seven seconds. Because it is flameless and requires no welding rods, smoke, cutting oils, or grinding, it is safer than welding and eliminates the need for hot-work permits. ECO-Pipe is available in 20-ft lengths with diameters ranging from 0.5 in.

Vogelsang Pumps

This firm’s pumps are designed to handle highly viscous liquids containing particles, debris, and abrasives. The pumps are suitable for applications that require shear sensitivity, self-priming, high suction lift, and dry running. They are easy to service, and can be maintained without removing the pump from service or disturbing any connected piping. Numerous wet-end material options are available for chemical compatibility and wear resistance.

ForceMeter

The ForceMeter is a liquid, steam, or gas flowmeter that uses proven strain-gauge technology to sense the force of the fluid in the flow stream. It is suitable for many applications, including water, compressed air, and superheated saturated steam. It has a remote-operation option, an easy-to-read two-line display for flowrate and total flow, and is HART-compliant. Its rugged design with all-welded construction and no frictional moving parts ensures reliability and durability over the life of the unit. The ForceMeter is approved for hazardous locations.
