Putting the focus on sustainable process engineering

As one of the world’s leading suppliers of products, services and solutions to the process industries, Emerson Process Management has begun to take a serious look at the future of the industry in terms of sustainability. In a recent interview with ProcessOnline, the many ways the company is adapting to the global changes that are forcing companies to become more environmentally aware were discussed. Read more »

Seeking self-adjusting instruments

Modern process instruments incorporate a fair degree of intelligence used to optimise process variable accuracy and reliability, and can even undertake predictive maintenance. But they fail miserably in two critical aspects even when compared with technologies we use every day — self-adjustment and self-healing. Read more »

Featured Products

Dwyer_0807
Low differential pressure transmitter

The Series 610 low differential pressure transmitter is capable of measuring the pressure and flow of air or non-conducting gases at greater resolution in clean rooms, isolation rooms and other critical environments.

Pca_0807
Inclinometers

Inclinometers are a valuable device for measuring the angle of equipment without any moving parts; the solid-state system is housed in a rugged metal case for mounting directly onto machinery. Fraba/Posital have recently extended their range from ±15°, 15° or 30° to include a single-axis unit capable of measuring the full 360°, and a dual axis unit with ±80° — both with CanOpen output protocol.

Ieci_0807
Serial communication products

Interworld Electronics has available a range for adding multiple high-speed serial ports to any PC, server, thin client, laptop, PDA or embedded system. Add-in cards are available for PCI, Universal PCI, PC/104, PCI/104 and ISA buses.

Tme_0807
Gauging system

With NDC Infrared every sensor and every scanning frame comes with its own built-in intelligence for higher speed and greater accuracy in measurement.

Pca_0806
Incremental encoder signal simulator

This instrument is a workshop tool for testing and calibrating any control equipment designed to accept square wave input signals. It enables the user to set up counters, rate meters, process timers, motor drives and many other types of industrial instruments.

Crisptech_0208
Active Ethernet I/O for temperature measurement

CrispTech has announced the Moxa ioLogik E2260 Active Ethernet I/O for temperature measurement.

Woodex_0806
Shaft seals reduce airborne dust and vapours

MECO seals not only keep dust and vapours from escaping process vessels into the atmosphere, but also can incorporate safety features to reduce ignition risk. The designers examine every application individually and custom-engineer a seal to meet the processor's requirements.

Turck_0108
Diagnostic power conditioner

TURCK's Diagnostic Power Conditioner system (DPC) for Foundation Fieldbus H1 features an integrated diagnostics module.

Trcorp_0508
Dual frequency Doppler liquid flowmeter

Need to measure liquids containing particulate? Use the Polysonics hydra SX30, an instrument designed for the measurement of aerated or solids-bearing fluid.

Control_0508
Analog panel meters with 30% smaller footprint

Red Lion has announced its CUB5 Series Analog Panel Meters that, according to the company, increase user versatility in a footprint that is 30% smaller than conventional 48 x 96 mm meters and nearly half the cost.
