Industrial connectivity experts, Motion29, have collaborated with superior German manufacturer, HUMMEL, to introduce their new ‘Exios’ range of cable glands especially suited for hazardous areas including environments involving explosive gases, large amounts of dust and extreme temperatures.

Precise digital temperature measurement from -40°F to +302°F (-40°C to +150°C) in the most extreme environments, the new 225-10-010 Series incorporates our proprietary technology with innovative temperature sensing to provide you with a fully programmable device capable of multi-node network integration and multi-mode temperature monitoring (°F & °C) in direct fluid and/or gas media streams.

Meggitt, a leading supplier of quality vibration sensors and hardware, introduces a new triaxial vibration sensor with removable cable. The 993B-7-M12 boasts improved in-band signal fidelity and a 50% increase in dynamic range.

Metered tests carried out on Thermal Energy International’s GEM steam traps by Italcables, Italy’s largest producer of wire strands for pre-stressed concrete and post-tensioned structures, have shown steam savings of up to 30% compared to mechanical traps

Measurement Specialties, Inc. has just released to production the Model 4332 triaxial accelerometer. This COTS sensor features damped MEMS sensing technology, an amplified output and is packaged in a rugged aluminum housing with integral cable assembly. It is offered in ranges from ±2 and ±5g with a low-pass filter set at 50Hz. This temperature compensated device has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and complies with IP68 requirements for submersion in water to a ten meter depth.

The Deeter Group announce the introduction of their new Low Volume Liquid Dispenser. Intended for accurate, repeatable dosing of small volumes of chemicals, colours or flavourings, the Low Volume Liquid Dispenser may be used to control any liquid being dispensed in a laboratory or manufacturing process.

Equipment rentals are increasingly helping companies overcome the hurdle of finding investment capital to fund development and verification projects. The current phase of the economic cycle, recovery from a slowdown, is always difficult and frustrating, as Mark Ingham of Sensor Technology identifies: “Companies are seeing their markets improve, but don’t have the reserves to finance all the activities that will kickstart their sales. What money there is has to be used carefully, which usually means funding some projects but not others. As a result opportunities have to be missed.”

Sherborne Sensors announces the T835 Series, a high precision, gravity referenced, tri-axial inclinometer, designed for application in physically challenging and space constrained environments. Available in angular ranges ±14.5° to ±60° and measuring just 25.4mm in diameter, the T835 is manufactured from aerospace quality stainless steel making it extremely robust and ideal for measurement in confined areas such as borehole applications and seismic studies. The inclinometer can also survive and operate in extremes of temperature, ranging from -4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit.

Specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer Analytical Technology Inc. today announces that it has been awarded a framework agreement to supply dissolved ammonia monitoring systems to Wessex Water. Following a detailed decision-making process in which Wessex Water evaluated a range of monitors against stringent criteria, Analytical Technology was awarded an AMP 5 framework agreement for its Q45N dissolved ammonia monitor.

Reliable 24/7 monitoring and control of a pharmaceutical company's wastewater facility is fundamentally important to the successful operation of the entire business. This is because failures or down-time in the wastewater treatment process would quickly result in waste stream back up. It follows therefore that monitoring equipment should be extremely reliable and this is why Shasun Pharma Solutions employs HACH LANGE monitoring equipment at many locations around their manufacturing facility just north of Newcastle upon Tyne.
