The MBT 5560 temperature sensor with built-in transmitter from Danfoss Industrial Automation is designed for use in harsh industrial environments. The sensor is available with a 33 mm (1.29 inches) extension to measure temperatures up to 200 degrees C (392 F) without damage to electronics. Features include acid-resistant stainless steel enclosure, 4-20 mA or Ratiometric output 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mm insertion lengths. 410/931-8250; www.danfoss.us/ia.
Blue-White injection-molded PVDF diaphragm
Single-layer, injection-molded PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) diaphragms from Blue-White Industries are designed for Chem-Pro Series C2 and C3 metering pumps. The single-piece diaphragms won’t delaminate, reducing field maintenance and downtime due to failure. Made of PVDF, chemical compatibility issues of wetted parts also are reduced. Available in three sizes, the diaphragms retrofit into ProSeries Chem-Pro pumps for in-field upgrades. 714/893-8529; www.blue-white.com.
Neptune diaphragm metering pumps
Series 7000 mechanically actuated diaphragm metering pumps from Neptune Chemical Pump Co. are made for water and wastewater applications. The mechanical design eliminates the use of contour plates on the liquid side of the diaphragm, while the straight-through valve and head allows for improved flow. The series is self-priming and has a maximum capacity of 300 gph at 150 psi. 215/699-8700; www.neptune1.com.
Magnatrol bronze solenoid valves
Type A and AR bronze solenoid valves from Magnatrol Valve Corp. are designed for water and wastewater. Available for pipe sizes from 1/2 to 3 inches, the valves feature cast bronze, globe pattern valve bodies with NPT ends and packless construction with continuous duty coils for all voltages. The valves require no differential pressure to open and can be serviced while in the pipeline. 973/427-4341; www.magnatrol.com.
Endress+Hauser two-wire magmeter
The Proline Promag 200 two-wire electromagnetic flowmeter from Endress+Hauser offers the same measuring performance as four-wire magmeters. The Promag H200 is available in line sizes of 1/12 to 1 inch, while the Promag 200 is available in line sizes from 1/2 to 8 inches for measuring the flow rates of conductive fluids. No seals or external enclosures are required for installation in hazardous areas. 888/363-7377; www.us.endress.com.
ETS UV disinfection system
Closed vessel UV disinfection systems from Engineered Treatment Systems feature high-powered amalgam lamps, automatic wiping mechanisms, air release valves and hatches to gain access to the interior of the chamber. The system reduces UV exposure, has no open water surfaces and can be installed horizontally or vertically. Wiper rings can be replaced without removing the wiping carriage from the chamber. 877/ 885-4628; www.ets-uv.com.
Singer Valve automated pilot control
The 420-DC or 420-AC automated pilot control from Singer Valve features over-volt protection, 4-20 mA feedback, O-ring seal, explosion-proof housing and modular design. Valves require less than 2 amps of power and are controlled by the 4-20 mA signal from the water distribution SCADA system. The pilot control offers programmable span and speed control via USB cable and software. 888/764-7858; www.singervalve.com.
CW Industries rotary encoder
The 16-position rotary encoder from CW Industries has a four-channel hex output and is customized to fit into an existing panel opening down to 12 mm (0.47 inches). Designs feature enclosed construction to prevent EMI (electromagnetic interference) and are sealed to protect against the environment. 215/355-7080; www.cwind.com.
AALBORG multi-turn valve
The ACRX V multi-turn valve from AALBORG, part of the ACRX acrylic flowmeter line, eliminates the need for external valves. It can be installed at the inlet (bottom) of the meter or at the outlet (top) for vacuum service. Features include one interchangeable direct reading scale for air, water, argon, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium or hydrogen. The dual score displays flow rates in metric and English units. Optional scales can be developed for diverse flow conditions to facilitate OEM applications. All models have a 316 stainless steel float and guide, 1/2-inch female NPT connections, maximum temperature of 130 degrees F (54 C) and maximum pressure of 100 psi. 845/770-3000; www.aalborg.com.
Badger Meter smart valve positioners
The Research Control SRD series of smart valve positioners from Badger Meter deliver actionable diagnostic information about valve performance. The SRD 960 (explosion proof) and SRD 991 (intrinsically safe) digital valve positioners are designed for use in the water and wastewater industries. The SRI 900 base model provides analog valve control. The SRD/SRI positioners are compatible with Research Control valves and most other pneumatically actuated valves. 800/876-3837; www.badgermeter.com.
Precision Digital Modbus scanners
The Snooper line of Modbus scanners from Precision Digital Corp. include the ProVu PD6080 series of 1/8 DIN digital panel meters and the ProtEX-MAX PD8-6080 series of explosion-proof scanners. The scanners can be set up as Modbus RTU masters, slaves or snoopers, monitoring multiple Modbus devices for up to 16 process variables, including level, interface level, density and temperature. The ProVu PD6080 series Super Snoopers are NEMA 4X DIN panel indicators. The PD6080 and PD6081 include dual analog inputs and an RS-485 serial communications module for the integration of existing 4-20 mA transmitters and Modbus devices on the same display. 800/343-1001; www.predig.com.
Iwaki nonmetallic, self-priming pump
The fluoroplastic SMX-F magnetically driven, nonmetallic, self-priming pump from Iwaki America is designed for flows to 90 gpm and heads to 80 feet. The SMX-F line of pumps is made of CFR-ETFE and available with carbon, PTFE and silicon carbide bearing systems. Two impeller ranges are available for each model. 508/429-1440; www.iwakiamerica.com.
