Proven control valves for cavitation control Cavitation with entrained particulate creates a ...

Fri, 21 May 2010 16:20:08 +0100

If the control valve does not perform as required, your facility could experience unscheduled downtime. Entrained particulate can shorten control valve life by plugging the cage and causing material erosion of the plug, cage and seat. Cavitation leads to unacceptable noise and vibration, and damage to control valve trim. Emerson has introduced Fisher� cavitation control technologies ideal for dirty service applications: the Notchflo� DST control valve, Dirty Service Trim (DST), DST-G control valve, and 461 angle valve. These technologies allow entrained particulate to pass, while resisting cavitation damage in severe liquid flow conditions.

WirelessHART From Technology to Products

Wed, 05 May 2010 10:23:32 +0100

WirelessHART was first presented at the 2008 Hanover Fair and has made it from the R&D laboratories to a range of available products. In user field tests WirelessHART was proven to be a sustainable technology that can be used in mobile and flexible applications. WirelessHART is the first open standard for wireless communication between field devices in the process automation industry. Many manufacturers already offer WirelessHART products which emphasizes that WirelessHART is ready to become a widely accepted industry standard. At the 2010 Hanover Fair, Pepperl+Fuchs presented the first available WirelessHART infrastructure components including the WirelessHART Gateway, the WirelessHART Adapter and the WirelessHART Temperature Converter. These components enable the easy setup of a wireless network.

Fail-safe oxygen measuring systems contain a dynamic zirconium dioxide sensor

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:34:15 +0100

The oxygen measuring systems from J. Dittrich Elektronic contain a dynamic zirconium dioxide sensor. They determine the oxygen concentration directly in the gas mixture, monitor their own function during operation, signal malfunctions in the hard- and software, can be calibrated without personnel or reference gas in atmospheric air and, hence, are fail-safe. The measuring process is linear in a measuring range from 0.1 to 100 vol%. As they determine the absolute oxygen content, they measure exact, even in extreme climates. In practice, therefore, oxygen measuring systems from J. Dittrich Elektronic are used above all to regulate the residual oxygen in the exhaust gas from furnaces, to regulate ventilation in large industrial composting heaps or for indoor air monitoring. The designs are adapted to the specific applications (insertion probe, wall mounted system and others).

Proven control valves for cavitation control ideal for dirty service applications

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:21:18 +0100

Cavitation with entrained particulate creates a challenging, severe condition for a control valve. If the control valve does not perform as required, your facility could experience unscheduled downtime. Entrained particulate can shorten control valve life by plugging the cage and causing material erosion of the plug, cage and seat. Cavitation leads to unacceptable noise and vibration, and damage to control valve trim. Emerson has introduced Fisher� cavitation control technologies ideal for dirty service applications: the Notchflo� DST control valve, Dirty Service Trim (DST), DST-G control valve, and 461 angle valve.

Process data transmission via GSM/GPRS Wireless communication for near and far

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:48:43 +0100

VEGA has been using remote data transmission in conjunction with signal conditioning instruments for years. These supply the sensors, deliver intrinsically safe signals when required and ensure that standard modems (analogue, ISDN or GSM/GPRS) can be accessed. The transmitting and receiving unit PLICSMOBILE fits seamlessly into VEGA's modular plics� concept. It is available either as an integrated auxiliary module for the new plics�plus sensors or as a standalone instrument PLICSMOBILE T61. SIM card and integrated modem allow worldwide data transmission via the widely-used GSM/GPRS service � including remote diagnosis and teleservice. Another plus: the integrated energy management system with independent battery supply. PLICSMOBILE complements the solutions with signal conditioning instruments especially in the area of VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory). Areas of use are primarily applications in which measurement and evaluation are located far apart, e.g. deep wells, high containers or mobile silos.

Non-intrusive full/empty limit switch at small diameter pipes The optimized ultrasonic limit ...

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 11:36:52 +0100

The compact sensor is mainly used in plants of the pharmaceutical sector and the food industry. Here, the SONOCONTROL 15 is employed for the protection of pumps and the control of filling systems. The known advantages of the limit switch, such as the non-intrusive ultrasonic measurement through the wall as well as the precise distinction between empty and liquid filled pipes, have been upgraded by further favourable characteristics. The simplified installation method of the 2-wire system for example, which can be carried out even during system operations, guarantees an optimal use of the device. Due to a new pipe fastening system made of plastics the sensor can be relocated quickly and easily. Furthermore, the advanced firmware assures a stable operating mode. The required power supply is 12 ... 40 VDC. According to the 4�20mA concept the switching status is represented by the current consumption of the sensor. The acceptable medium- or pipe temperature range lies between �40�C � +140�C. A particular device version of the SONOCONTROL 15 is also available for the use in hazardous areas.
