The SC400 handheld calorimeters are rugged, waterproof, single-parameter instruments designed for use in laboratory and field testing. Four types are available: chlorine ( free and total); chlorine dioxide; ammonia; and fluoride. The instruments feature easy four-button operation; a large back-lit, highly visible, indigo blue display; a real-time clock; and 16-set data logging capability. These features are superior to what is offered with most price-competitive units. The system also has a user-calibration mode that permits calibration with respect to prepared standards.

The Traceable wide-range thermometer is suitable for measuring temperatures from –328°F to 2,498°F (–200°C to 1,370°C). Its stainless steel Type K thermocouple probe can be used with liquids, gases, or semisolids. Its backlit 0.5-in.-high liquid crystal display (LCD) is easy to read, even in poor lighting conditions. It features an instant recall of minimum and maximum readings. Data collected by the thermometer may be output to a computer or data logger for capturing and storing readings.

By providing online measurements, the Liquiphant M density meter eliminates the need for extensive and expensive offline procedures and laboratory measurements. Online measurements allow control systems to react more quickly than when offline systems are used. The meter’s built-in density calculator can be customized by inputting complex tables and mathematical relationships. Its mechanically oscillating, two-tined fork is excited by a piezoelectric drive to resonant frequency, which changes whenever the fork is immersed in liquid.

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.
