This presetting tool adjusts tubing ferrules prior to final assembly into a fitting. To use it, the installer first secures the tool in a vise, then removes the protective nut and assembles the fitting nut and ferrules loosely onto the tool. Then the tubing is inserted through the nut and ferrules until it settles in the bottom of the preset tool. After this, the tubing with the nut and ferrules can be removed from the body of the preset tool. Suitable for use in tight spaces and/or hard-to-reach areas, the tool is made from carbon steel and is available in sizes 0.625 in. and larger.

The LabNavigator hand-held analytical meter collects a wide range of data for the lab, plant, or field. It takes data from many types of sensors, including pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), ion-selective electrode (ISE), turbidity, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, force/impact, gas detection, and soil moisture sensors, as well as calorimeters and spectrophotometers. It has a vivid color touch screen and real-time graphing capabilities.

The Homogenization Test Laboratory evaluates shearing particle-size reduction and deagglomeration processes. It is suitable for assessing dispersions, emulsions, and slurries that require consistency and repeatability, and provides test results that are fully scalable to production volumes. It generates a comprehensive test report that includes application objectives, testing procedures, and processed sample results, which enables users to specify an in-line wet mixing system or colloid mill that is best suited to specific processing requirements up to 10,000 gal/h throughput.

The PPC4 high-performance pressure calibrator for testing pneumatic pressure instruments provides versatility and ease-of-use in calibration labs and manufacturing environments. The calibrator’s maximum pressure range has been increased to an absolute pressure of 14 MPa (2,000 psi), and its patented dynamic control has been improved to extend the minimum controlled pressure down to 1 kPa.

The G20 compact titrator has a One Click user interface with four shortcut buttons that can be set for direct access to routine tasks in basic applications. It is customizable so that each user has a personal home screen, shortcuts and operation language. The titrator also features a solvent manager that facilitates the filling and draining of solvents used for titration analysis. This improves laboratory safety by minimizing personnel contact with toxic chemicals.

A320 Series ultra-low-range linear servo accelerometers take high-precision measurements, from ±0.1 g to ±2 g, with a full range of ±5-VDC or 4–20-mA outputs. These gravity-referenced, closed-loop sensors can reliably monitor acceleration down to 20 µg while withstanding mechanical shock levels of up to 1,500 g. The sensors are housed in a rugged, anodized aluminum alloy case, and can be specified with a connector or solder pin electrical termination.

Enhanced digital paddle-wheel flowmeters are designed to offer cost-effective solutions to medium-flow liquid applications. Access is password-protected to eliminate user-tampering or resetting. Flowrate readings can be displayed in 23 different volumetric or mass-flow engineering units. Parameters and functions can be programmed locally via an optional keypad with a liquid crystal display interface, or remotely using an RS-232/RS-485 interface.

The RDC-CI chemical-injection data logger monitors the flow of corrosion inhibitor injections using quills and nozzles as contacts to calculate chemical delivery rates from 0.5 to 100 gal/d. The positive-displacement flowmeter, which operates at temperatures from –40°F to 158°F, detects chemical flow interruptions caused by low tank levels, pump failures, and high-temperature vapor locks.

The Rosemount 3051SMV transmitter improves productivity and energy management while enhancing environmental compliance. It measures three variables and provides mass and energy flow output, reducing the number of devices usually needed to make differential-pressure flow measurements from ten to one. It updates flow measurement 22 times per second, providing effective tracking of production, demand, and total usage of process gas, steam and natural gas. This results in more-accurate billing, as well as immediate detection of anomalies that lead to product loss.

The SpectroSens insertion probe performs real-time monitoring of fermentation processes, tracking both compositional changes and the temperature of the broth. It can take multiple discrete readings simultaneously at numerous locations, which increases overall reliability by reducing the chance of false positive readings. SpectroSens sensors can be placed throughout the production process and networked via a control and analysis unit. The sensors use only light at the point of measurement, making them intrinsically safe and spark-free.
