The AWI-PS wireless integrated pressure switch is designed for pressure measurement and monitoring without the constraints of hard wiring, making it possible to avoid costly cable and conduit runs, reduce labor and material installation costs, and monitor devices where cabling is not an option. It is ideal for process applications that require a relay to close or open at a given pressure.

Rounding out the Micro Motion F-Series family of high-temperature flowmeters are the Models F025, F050 and F100. They are available in Type 316L stainless steel in sizes from 1/4 in. to 4 in., or in Hastelloy C-22 up to 3 in. All are rated to 350°C. The flowmeters’ electronics are attached at the end of a flexible conduit, away from the heat of the sensor, so the user can choose any transmitter option for integral mounting.

With an extended aluminum body and a twin rack-and-pinion design, these actuators deliver constant torque output over 500,000 or more cycles. They have inboard and outboard travel stops for easy stroke adjustment to virtually any host valve’s open or closed positions. The body is hard-coat anodized to resist wear and corrosion. Bore finishing minimizes friction and wear. Nickel-plated steel pinions resist internal and external corrosion. Stainless steel assembling screws and die-cast aluminum end caps and pistons also contribute to the actuators’ long life.

A vane seal that is custom-molded to a machined shaft and vane construct to create a one-piece shaft/vane/seal assembly gives the PRNA Series miniature rotary actuator its durability and strength, and increases its overall reliability. It is versatile enough for use in lubricated or non-lubricated filtered air at pressures ranging from 30 to 150 psi (0.2 to 1.0 MPa). A rounded vane design provides lower vane-seal bypass than typical rotary actuators. Standard internal bumpers provide quiet operation for high-speed applications.

The Marathon MM 3M infrared sensor uses shorter IR wavelengths to minimize errors due to the uncertainty of emissivity. This makes it less sensitive to changes in emissivity on the target material than long-wavelength sensors and enables it to provide more accurate readings across multiple targets at varying temperatures. The sensor features precision variable-focus optics that allow it to be accurately focused with a touch of a button, and a NEMA-4 sealed user interface that guarantees the integrity of the electronics.

Using the “piston time-of-fall” method, the M10 viscosity sensor measures viscosities from 0.1 to 100,000 cP at pressures from vacuum to 100 psi. It is designed for suspensions or solutions, and is sensitive enough to detect the difference in the viscosity of boiling water (0.294 cP) and ambient water (1.06 cP). The sensor features Type 316 stainless steel wetted parts, and can be equipped with piston rods of 12 different sizes for installation in tanks from 12 in. to 12 ft deep.

Built on a modular platform to offer maximum flexibility, the CC3000 operator-interface enclosure system protects operator interface terminals and electronic monitors in UL Type 12 industrial environments. The enclosures feature single-wall aluminum construction to dissipate heat efficiently and eliminate heat buildup inside the enclosure. In many cases, this eliminates the need for active cooling, but if needed, an internal fan can be installed.

The ThermaCAM GasFindIR-LW infrared camera can detect more than 20 different gases, including sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) — a greenhouse gas with an estimated atmospheric lifetime of 3,200 yr and a global warming potential 23,900 times that of CO2. Capable of scanning large areas to allow thermographers to locate SF6 gas leaks up to hundreds of feet away, it delivers real-time, high-resolution thermal images of gas leaks, which can be displayed on a standard TV or recorded digitally. The lightweight unit weighs only 4.6 lb and is powered by a camcorder battery.

The 364 pressure and differential-pressure transmitter features an innovative design that eliminates the need for bolts, gaskets and flanges — all traditional leak paths in pressure transmitters. A lightweight all-stainless-steel housing and process connection is standard, along with a Hastelloy C-276 diaphragm for corrosive process media. The device has a stability of ±0.15% of maximum span for a 10-yr period, which reduces calibration frequency. An on-board LCD display with an “Easy Steup” menu configuration simplifies installation and commissioning.

 The Model DP86 is a double-sided, stainless-steel isolated, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor packaged in a rugged Type 316L stainless steel housing, which makes it suitable for use in liquids and corrosive environments. Made for high-performance, low-pressure applications where differential pressure is required, the DP86 has been designed for O-ring mounting. The performance of the unit is said to match that of differential sensors that cost five times as much, in a package only one-half the size.
