SS4000M Series ultra-miniature universal load cells combine a transducer element with transducer-quality strain gages. They provide precision force measurements in tension and compression applications, such as materials testing, laboratory analysis, and R&D, with high accuracy and very low deflection under load. These compact cells are offered in a variety of tension/compression ranges, from 10 N up to 500 N, with 2 mV/V output. Depending on range requirements, they are manufactured from either high-strength alloy or stainless steel.

The DK10 process flap flowmeter is available in a large selection of wetted construction materials, including aluminum, bronze, cast iron, stainless steel, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Its shafts can be made of titanium, Hastelloy or plastic for processing aggressive liquids. The flowmeter is available with a choice of one or two alarm level outputs, as well as an analog 4–20-mA output. The flow in the line causes a spring-loaded flap mounted inside the unit’s hemispherical chamber to deflect by an amount that is directly proportional to the flowrate.

The Rosemount 8800D vortex flowmeter enhances online vortex sensor maintainability while increasing safety for critical applications. Traditional vortex flowmeters need to be shut down to verify performance of the vortex sensor. The vortex sensor in the 8800D flowmeter is isolated from the process, so it can be maintained without shutting down the process. The flowmeter verifies the health of the transmitter by simulating the vortex flow signal.

The ARC sensor system measures pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity. Each sensor has a built-in microprocessor that communicates with both analog (4–20-mA) and digital ModBus interfaces. Direct connectivity eliminates the need to send information through costly transmitters. Its signals are more robust and reliable than the low currents or voltages produced in classical measurement systems. The sensors can be precalibrated and configured in the lab, reducing costs and downtime associated with installation.

This sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide in two ranges: 0–10,000 ppm and 0–100,000 ppm. It connects directly to the manufacturer’s LabNavigator instrument for continuous monitoring, time-based experiments, and routine facility monitoring. The sensor monitors changes in CO2 levels in surrounding ambient air, respiration of organisms, and/or reactions in a chamber. It is easily calibrated using a single button, and operates in a humidity range of 5–95% (non-condensing).

This instrument system monitors plastics and chemicals processing online in real-time. Its central platform incorporates multiple sensors that can simultaneously measure electrical, optical, and rheological material properties. It can use dielectric, optical, fluorescence spectroscopy, pressure, ultrasonic, or temperature sensors that are positioned in ports along a slit die. As processed material flows through the slit, sensors monitor variations in properties caused by changes in process parameters.

The XP105 balance reduces the risk of errors, increases efficiency and is easy to use in laboratory-weighing applications. It is configured by LabX balance PC software and features SmartSens, which allows weighing operations to be performed without touching the balance. Operators of traditional balances encounter difficulty touching a balance while wearing gloves, and since this unit is designed for the laboratory environment, gloves must be worn for safety reasons. The balance presents operators with on-screen instructions.

The GENESYS 10S Vis, the GENESYS 10S UV-Vis, and the BioMate 3S spectrophotometers provide instrument control using embedded software that is strong enough for demanding analysis, but simple and straightforward enough for handling routine samples. They feature a front-panel USB port for method and data storage on removable memory devices, as well as printer and computer connectivity. Their easy-to-read liquid crystal display (LCD) is backlit for lower power usage and longer product life. The user-friendly software is driven from an integrated, chemical-resistant keypad.

This open-path Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy gas-analysis system monitors air to simultaneously detect, identify and measure a wide range of compounds.†Analysis is performed onsite through a continuous sampling path of up to 1,000 m. The analyzer is coupled to a control PC via a standard ribbon cable or a long-range fiber-optic link. For extended sample paths, the analyzer can be mounted to a 10-in. Newtonian telescope with a tripod. A high-energy infrared source module is located on the opposite end of the sample path.

Dualstream wet gas flowmeters provide environmentally safe, reliable and universally accepted monitoring of total pressure, differential pressure and temperature. They are designed for direct installation at a wellhead or subsea gathering line, and have a typical lifespan of more than 20 years. The manufacturer customizes each meter to ensure its compatibility with other project equipment, such as remotely operated vehicles, subsea trees, gathering lines, available power, and communication devices.
