LP 750 Series linear position sensors are constructed entirely of stainless steel and are hermetically sealed against hostile environments in accordance with IEC standard IP-68. The units measure 0.75 in. in diameter and are available in standard ranges of 4 in. to 25 in. They can be imple-mented for “in-cylinder” use within hydraulic rams of construction equipment, and other corrosive environments that require sensors with a significant stroke-to-length advantage (0.75% to 0.9%). The sensors feature high resolution, excellent repeatability and low hysteresis.

Valvcon ADC low-temperature actuators are suitable for remote solar-powered installations and for on/off duty and proportional applications where extreme cold temperatures exist. These rugged, compact, quarter-turn electric actuators have an operating temperature range down to –40ºF without requiring an internal heater. The battery can be automatically recharged at temperatures as low as –20ºF and has an operating life of up to 5 yr. The actuators can handle torque requirements up to 3,000 in.-lb, yet they weigh only 31 lb.

The MXBOC tank-mounted viscosity sensor is designed for both water- and solvent-based applications, such as printing inks, glues and adhesives. Suitable for tasks requiring frequent color or coating changes, it operates at atmospheric pressure in tanks that are 7 in. to 26 in. deep. It features a one-bolt mounting mechanism and stainless steel wetted parts that can be removed for cleaning and sterilization without disrupting air or electrical connections.

These corrosion-resistant stainless steel D-subminiature shells, which are used as connectors for computer hardware, meet the stringent requirements for corrosion resistance under the MIL-Spec “P” grade standard of stainless steel. The shells available include 9–50 contact patterns in standard sizes and 15–78 contact patterns in high-density sizes. The maximum current per contact is 40 A.

Using twenty-four 10/100 connections and two copper gigabit ports, the standalone, unmanaged EZSwitch SMCFS26 simplifies and extends networks, providing high-speed, high-bandwidth connections. Typically placed at the center of a small network or at the edge of a larger one, the SCFS26 makes clear connections at distances to 100 m, and delivers a complete, efficient small network with fast 1G server links. It also features auto-MDIX to reduce the complexity of installation while eliminating the need for straight-through and cross-over cabling for connecting PCs or other networking devices.

The Strikesorb surge protection device (SPD) provides continuous protection from over-voltage and other transient voltage activity for industrial equipment, such as variable-speed drives (VSDs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and power cabinets. Available in a wide variety of voltage and packaging configurations, SPD modules protect equipment from lightning strikes, power surges and spikes without performance deterioration. The modules meet IEC 61643-1 and UL 1449 (2nd edition) requirements.

This portable, hand-held Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer weighs approximately 6 lb. Specifically designed for field-based surface- and bulk-analysis applications, the portable, compact analyzer can be operated using only one hand. Because it can handle attenuated total reflectance (ATR) applications, it is also useful in the general laboratory. This versatility makes the device competitive with much larger and more expensive traditional analytical FTIR spectrometers.

 Titan industrial Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy systems provide real-time, multi-component extractive gas-phase analysis for such applications as industrial hygiene, composite epoxy materials (CEM), process optimization/control, specialty gas quality-control, and research. They are packaged with externally mounted, corrosion-resistant gas cells, whose pathlengths range from 1 cm to 60 m. Thermal isolation enables operation at temperatures from ambient to 240_C, allowing moist sample streams to be analyzed without condensation.

The MV1000/MV2000 portable paperless recorders have large-capacity memories and offer many more input channels than conventional models (MV100/MV200). The MV1000 features a 24-channel input and the MV2000 has a 48-channel input. The recorders accept many types of inputs, including up to 18 kinds of thermocouples and 12 kinds of resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Insulation allows the recorders to withstand up to 1,000 V. They each feature 200 MB of memory, which lasts for about 75 days of continuous 12-channel measurement usage, handling data storage at 1-s intervals.

The Total Sulfur (TS) 4000 analyzer incorporates true total sulfur (TTS) technology, which removes nitrogen interference and provides true total sulfur results, down to trace levels. Detectors typically identify nitrogen as nitrogen oxide because it emits at the same wavelength as sulfur dioxide, resulting in inaccurate analysis. This analyzer is suitable for a range of refinery and petroleum sample types with high nitrogen concentrations.
