F31K2 dual-valve position sensors are designed for harsh, outdoor use, with a beacon that's visible from long distances, giving users instant, reliable valve position data. Its double-housing provides twice the usual protection, and achieves a high IP rating. LEDs indicating power supply, sensor and valve conditions are integrated in F31K2's encapsulated sensor module. Its housing materials ensure high resistance to UV, temperature, and corrosion. NAMUR Ex i (Zone 0/20) and Ex nA (Zone 2/22) versions are available.
Sitrans FS290 portable, clamp-on flowmeter test kit is an AC or DC powered, weatherproof, flowmeter system for measuring liquid flow in pipes. Its transducers are mounted on the pipe and don't disturb the flow or the pipe. FS290 comes with a 24-hour battery that can be hot swapped without disturbing the measurement. Up to 10 independent sites can be entered into the device to simplify future setup and programing.
Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Air uses ultrasonic measurement, and features a built-in lithium battery, eliminating the need for power supply. Highly efficient due to zero pressure loss, this flowmeter includes forward/reverse measurement capability and a wide range of diameters. Features include clear viewing of compressed air and nitrogen consumption, early detection of air leaks and maximum flexibility, and construction to last in a range of harsh environments.
B58622M32x differential pressure transmitters from TDK Corp. include five models that measure 0 mbar to 500 mbar and 0 bar to 10 bar, with a compensated temperature range from -20 °C to 140 °C. Its MiniCell offers media resistance with high-alloy AISI 316L steel membranes on both pressure ports that transmit pressure to the sensor die via oil-filled, media-separated sensor cells. This enables pressure measurement of aggressive liquids and gases without directly contacting the sensor die.
FS+ programmable flow sensors monitor fluid flow and temperature, and are rated to IP69K. They feature a rugged, rotatable, stainless-steel housing for long service life, switching or analog outputs, and automatic detection of PNP/NPN signals for fast commissioning. Because FS+ monitors temperature and flow rate, it can be used in a wider range of applications, such as ensuring adequate coolant flow or run-dry protection. Simple programming sequences make installation and use easy.
Dog-6 oscillation flowmeter for dry or wet gases is reported to use a unique technology that's ideal for moist gas measurement, such as biogas, digester gas and fermentation gas.
