Inline corrosion applicationThe Plantweb Insight inline corrosion application provides real-time interpretation and analysis of critical data that helps prioritize maintenance. The app delivers field data from Roxar wireless corrosion transmitters, providing insight into instrument health and process corrosivity. It provides alerts on preset thresholds such as severe corrosivity, probe lifespan for electric resistance (ER) probes, and low […]
Magnetic Gripping, Clamping SolutionsMagswitch switchable magnetic gripping and clamping solutions provide single-sided gripping systems with true on-and-off magnetic technology said to significantly simplify and lower costs of complete automation systems in OEM-assembled lines. Applications include robotic welding, pick-and-place, and body-in-white. Components integrate into the company’s electric and pneumatic automated-motion architecture. Festo Islandia, NY festo.us
Thermoplastic for Extreme ConditionsArlon 3000 XT thermoplastic for extreme conditions in oil and gas applications is said to deliver improved performance over other available materials. In dynamic mechanical analysis, it demonstrated a glass-transition temperature 35-deg. F higher than PEEK, and provided mechanical property retention from 350 F to 600 F. The material is said to withstand all common […]
Water MeterThe Waterflux 3000 water meter is available in sizes from 1 to 24 in. When combined with the IFC 070 battery-powered converter electronics, the resulting model 3070 is an all-in-one meter with available integrated pressure and temperature sensor. The sensor allows the unit to be used for a variety of drinking-water network tasks. Krohne Inc. […]
Progressing Cavity PumpThe NEMO BF progressing cavity pump, with an add-on asynchronous bridge preventing module (aBP-Module) prevents the formation of lumps that can cause bridge building in a sewage sludge-conveyance system. Designed for viscous media, the pump with the module eliminates high-media cohesiveness that can cause repeated entanglements and bridge building. The module uses a hopper extension […]
Sonic ImagerThe ii900 sonic imager is said to allow users to quickly and visually pinpoint the location of compressed air, gas, and vacuum-system leaks in minutes. Using an array of microphones combined with SoundSight technology, the handheld unit filters out background noise so users can accurately locate leaks in compressed-air systems, even in the noisiest environments. […]
Valves for Hazardous ConditionsR.G. Laurence on/off control valves for rapid-opening and sealed-closure applications are ATEX-certified and Factory Mutual-approved. The 2500 series two-way, globe-type piston valves are operated by an external lever connecting the lifting action of the linear actuator to the valve piston using a rotary shaft. More force can be leveraged when operating the valve. Direct-, semi-direct-, […]
