Amalgamated Instrument differential pressure transmitter
01 April, 2009 | Amalgamated Instrument Co
The WS-TPDPT7 transmitters are available in three models with selectable ranges. The high accuracy model measures ranges from 0-25 Pa to 0-100 Pa in four selectable ranges, the standard model measures ranges from 0-50 Pa to 0-2500 Pa in eight selectable ranges and the high-pressure model measures ranges from 0-5000 Pa to 0-10000 Pa in six selectable ranges.
Burkert Fluid Control Systems sanitary mag flowmeter
01 April, 2009 | Burkert Fluid Control Systems
Dedicated to process applications that do not require local push-button programming or display, the blind Type 8056 sanitary mag flowmeter delivers high accuracy over a wide flow velocity range. The Type 8056 is engineered for fast filling applications with short reaction time, high-speed sampling (short sampling/measurement time) and high-speed frequency output, making it suitable for filling systems.
Distance sensor
01 April, 2009 | SICK Pty Ltd
The DT50 series measuring and switching distance sensors have been designed for medium ranges of up to 10 m. They exhibit a 20 ms response time, 1 mm resolution and 10 mm accuracy.
Integrated pressure sensor
01 April, 2009 | Festo Pty Ltd
A pressure sensor is now integrated into the Festo MPA valve terminal, allowing pressures to be monitored directly over the fieldbus system. This high level of integration is a low-cost solution as it saves considerable time and money otherwise spent on a more complex installation.
IP55 enclosures
01 April, 2009 | ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has announced a range of IP55-rated enclosures and junction boxes. The enclosures are available in 10 sizes — with internal dimensions from 100 x 100 x 80 mm to 310 x 240 x 160 mm — and incorporate a time-saving quarter turn lid screw on some models.
