Vibration level switch
01 July, 2008The level sensing arrangement used in the Gladiator vibration smart switch is suitable for a wide range of liquids and solids, including slurries and pelletised materials.
Hawk joins Brazil's MS Instrumentos
26 June, 2008Hawk, a global provider of level, positioning and flow measurement technology, has announced a joint venture with MS Instrumentos in Brazil.
Seeking self-adjusting instruments
12 June, 2008 by John Immelman*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.
Overflow monitor
19 November, 2007Pulsar's SludgeFinder sludge level monitor uses a self-cleaning acoustic sensor that sits under the liquid surface of a clarifier or sludge tank. An acoustic signal is bounced off the bottom of the tank and modulations in the returning signal are interpreted to provide a profile of the sludge in the tank.
Level limit switch for bulk solids
17 October, 2007Endress+Hauser has released a high-temperature Soliphant M level limit switch for bulk solids to deliver reliable operation in sustained process conditions at temperatures up to 280°C, and for short periods, up to 300°C. This represents a significant advance on competitor products, which routinely fail at 250°C.
Capacitive level transmitter for powder, bulk or liquids
19 September, 2007The Mercoid Division of Dwyer Instruments is offering a new and innovative capacitive level transmitter, the CRF2. Sensing technology in the CRF2, using impulse RF admittance measurement, provides good level measurement and stability.
Non-nuclear X-ray backscatter gauge
22 May, 2007NDC Infrared has announced the model 318 XRB sensor - a non-nuclear X-ray backscatter gauge designed as an alternative to GBS and beta sensors.
Ultrasonic level transmitter
04 May, 2006Ametek Drexelbrook's Usonic-series ultrasonic transmitter provides a reliable, repeatable and accurate (0.15%) continuous level measurement of liquids. The system is capable of liquid level measurement to ranges up to 9.1 m, with a 2-wire, 4-20 mA, HART output signal.
VEGA bulk solids level measurement
06 March, 2006Compromises in applications for continuous level measurement of bulk solids, such as dust, filling noise, mechanical loads and difficult installation conditions, hamper measuring or even make it impossible.
