Now it is simple and cost-effective to retro-fit 4-20mA temperature transmitters to existing Pt100 or thermocouple sensors without removing them from the process or having to replace them with alternative assemblies.

Sensor Developments, Inc is offering a unique torque sensor to measure the reaction forces exerted on the motor housing.

Providing advanced protection against a wide range of hazardous industrial gases and oxygen deficiency, the TS4000 Intelligent Toxic Gas Detector from General Monitors is now rated SIL 2 suitable.

Adixen Sensistor has developed a new, intrinsically safe leak detector. The equipment meets the ATEX directive and may be used for leak testing in explosive environments, such as aircraft fuel systems.

In all process industries the objectives are to improve efficiency and maximise profitability, at the same time as ensuring repeatable product quality. Moreover, these all have to be achieved within the required environment of high hygiene standards, where reliable assurance of clean and cleanable pipework and equipment is paramount.

With a highly responsive ultraviolet flame sensor and advanced signal processing, the new high-temperature FL3111HT UV Flame Detector from General Monitors operates in temperatures up to 125ºC (257ºF), which makes it suitable for use in demanding process and plant environments. To achieve the FL3111HT’s high temperature rating, the instrument features a uniquely designed UV flame detector and electronic components that operate with very low power consumption to reduce detector self-heating.

Endevco Corporation has announced introduction of the Endevco model 7287 crush sensor with performance certified to specifications for critical test applications requiring superior accuracy, reliability and low cost of ownership. The device provides for reliable, predictable performance in terms of several key parameters and avoids the need to characterize the sensor before use.

Wilcoxon Research announces the addition of a displacement sensor to its popular PC420 Series of 4-20 mA vibration sensors. The PC420D is the first IEPE displacement transducer and 4-20 mA vibration transmitter packaged as a single sensor.

Now available from Contrinex is a new generation of photoelectric proximity switches designed to provide users with a high level of performance at competitive prices.

The torque-current characteristics of a combined motor-generator developed for a Lotus-based hybrid car have been comprehensively mapped by a TorqSense digital torque sensor.
