Electric valve actuators in the L75 series use state-of-the-art technology to provide remote control actuation of quarter-turn valves and other rotary devices, including on/off and modulating rotary valve applications. Featuring either a split-phase capacitor AC-reversing motor or a DC motor, these actuators drive a valve through a sealed, permanently lubricated gear train to offer a lifetime of virtually maintenance-free operation. Available in eight sizes, they produce torques to 3,000 in.-lb. Housings are designed to: Type 1 General Purpose; Type 4 Watertight; Type 7, Class I, Div.

Specially designed for the dangerous and potentially explosive task of emptying hydrocarbon storage tanks, reactors, pipelines or other vessels, the Triple Plus+ IR monitors the purge vent gas to determine when there is less than 100% LEL equivalent flammable gas concentration present. The infrared detector in the unit is a unique dual-range infrared sensor for flammable hydrocarbons scaled with both 0–100% volume and 0–100% LEL ranges, with an automatic range switch between these. This allows the earliest possible termination of nitrogen flow and a switch to air.

The Bundle Waveguide Technology (BWT) system with the DigitalFlow DF868 flowmeter measures LNG flowrates in pipes ranging from 2 in. to 48 in., and is touted as the only solution for measuring LNG flows in pipes greater than 8 in. The system measures cryogenic flows of LNG at –161°C (–322°F) as it is transferred from liquefaction trains and tankers into storage tanks at production plants and receiving terminals. The Sentinel is a naturalgas ultrasonic flowmeter specifically designed to meet the demands of high accuracy, fiscal custody-transfer measurement.

Designed with an intuitive user interface, the LORD Balance Check can be used to detect unbalance, identify the correction capacity required to offset unbalance, and verify balance once it is restored. The unit uses a 400-MHz XScale processor, large color display, easy operation function keys and has high-speed data acquisition capabilities through USB, IrDA and RS232.

The Duosonics is a non-invasive, clamp-on, ultrasonic flowmeter that automatically switches between Pulse Doppler and Transit Time technologies depending on the fluid conditions in the pipe. The unit can measure a variety of fluids from ultrapure water to sludges and slurries. It can even measure entirely different fluids flowing through the same pipe. The Duosonics is particularly well-suited for situations with short pipe runs and undeveloped flow.

The FT4, a universal powder rheometer that is used to perform powder flowability tests, now comes with a fully automated, small-volume shear cell that can be used to measure volumes down to 3 mL or less, depending on the characteristics of the powder. This new accessory enables users to extend the range of shear-testing applications on the FT4 to include those for which only very small amounts of sample are available. This encompasses many pharmaceutical actives, and materials, such as early stage formulations, where a wide range of tests must be carried out on limited supplies.

The low-cost, portable calibrator model 420 was designed for calibration/test of DPMs, PLCs, transmitters, sensors or any other device requiring a 4–20-mA current loop signal. The 4-in.×2.5-in.×4-in. housing comes with a belt clip for ease of operation. Powered by a 9V transistortype battery, this unit operates down to 6V and can drive up to 300 ohm loads or sustain up to 7V burden of the load. The calibrator features a dual full-scale range of 19.99- and 25.0-mA. The calibrator features a 3-1/2 digit built-in display that will only turn on if the “loop” is closed (connected).

With state-of-the-art performance features like a fritless cell option, the Aquacounter Coulometric Karl Fischer Titrator (AQ-200) offers fast and accurate results. This reliable, easy-to-use instrument has six built-in calculation modes to accommodate solid, liquid and gas samples. It includes a statistics package with onetouch calculations. Four files with preset conditions can be stored in memory, and data for up to 20 samples can be instantly recalled. A built-in detector monitors titration status. This unit has balance and computer interfaces for GLP and ISO documentation.

The Hoffer Sanitary Series flowmeters recently received 3A Sanitary Rating 28-03 after undergoing a third-party verification process. The series provides ±0.5% accuracy (±0.1% with linearization) for use in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries or any application where sanitary requirements are considered necessary, such as ultrapure deionizedwater, demineralized, or water-for-injection (WFI) water. Available in sizes from 1/4 in. to 3 in., covering flowrates from 0.35 to 650 gal/min, the sanitary meters are supplied with Type 316 stainless steel tri-clamp-style end fittings.

The Vortex autosampler consists of an integrated autosampling device and multi-stirrer, and is designed to increase ef- ficiency, enhance precision and promote operator safety. The temperature-controlled, heated (up to 150°C) multistirrer assembly features a stainless-steel tray capable of handling both 20-mL and 40- mL vials. Each vial position has its own magnetic stirring mechanism that delivers consistent and reproducible stirring action from vial-to-vial and eliminates variability due to the dissolution process.
