Instrumentation + Get AlertsAsahi/America Type-57P butterfly valve
Asahi/America’s Type-57P butterfly valve is available in an ANSI wafer-style connection and includes two molded tag holes in the valve body for user-defined valve identification, and a highly visible throttle positioning plate. The plate makes accurate throttle positioning between zero and 90 degrees possible. The body and disc are injection molded for durability, and the 316 stainless steel stem is nonwetted. The valves are available in sizes 1 1/2 through 8 inches with a lever, and in 1 1/2 through 14 inches with the Plasgear operator. Available body and disc materials include PVC, CPVC, PP and PVDF. All sizes can be electrically or pneumatically actuated. 800-343-3618
Hawk Measurement OptioLaser S300
The OptioLaser S300 from Hawk Measurement uses infrared 905 nanometer technology to allow for accurate measurement of highly-reflective, clear liquids. Due to its narrow beam divergence, it can be used to measure through grates and narrow passages and also next to flat walls. The laser is user-configurable, allowing for optimal performance for a specific application. It can be operated without calibration and is unaffected by background noise and vapor pressure. 978-304-3000

Endress+Hauser Heartbeat Technology for transmitters
Endress+Hauser offers Heartbeat Technology for its Liquiline CM44 and CM44R transmitters for use with Memosens pH and conductivity sensors. The continuous analysis of transmitter/sensor system health status during operation enables recognition of related events when they occur. Heartbeat Diagnostics follows the NE-107 standardized NAMUR-compliant message structure for categorized event severity level with clear remedy instructions provided for operations or maintenance. Verification results are provided via an audit-safe report automatically generated by the transmitter. The report is saved in PDF format and can be saved on an SD card for transfer to a computer. 888-363-7377
Sanitaire - a Xylem Brand Vorelodos aerobic digester
The Vorelodos aerobic digester from Sanitaire - a Xylem Brand combines equipment, controls and services to help wastewater treatment plants meet current and future EPA effluent and biosolids regulations, while also helping reduce operational costs. The Vorelodos lowers chemical use as a result of alkalinity recovery and a reduction in the amount of phosphorus being returned to the plant. The digester is suitable for newly constructed conventional activated sludge plants or upgrades to existing plants over 0.5 mgd, as well as oxidation ditch upgrades and aerobic digester aeration retrofits. 704-409-9700

KROHNE OPTISONIC 7300 ultrasonic flowmeter
The OPTISONIC 7300 biogas ultrasonic flowmeter from KROHNE has been designed to measure dry and wet biogas with variable composition. It provides additional functions such as calculation of standard volume, methane content measurement and diagnostics features. It has no moving parts and no pressure loss. The measuring tube is made of 316L stainless steel and the transducers are made of NACE-approved grade 29 Titanium for maximum corrosion resistance. The flowmeter is certified for use in explosive areas and is available in line sizes of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 inches. 800-356-9464
Alignment Supplies BAT belt alignment tool
The BAT belt alignment tool from Alignment Supplies utilizes GlowLine green laser technology to show misalignment and vibration. It is available in multiple configurations for every application. Using the tool, the offset and angularity of the entire sheave face can be easily seen to make precision adjustments. The cross-firing XF green laser configuration enables users to check the offset, twist and angularity between both sheaves at the same time. 419-887-5890
Wanner Engineering Hydra-Cell metering pump
The Hydra-Cell metering model MT8 triplex metering pump from Wanner Engineering is designed to handle a variety of processing fluids at low-flow rates and high pressures. It features a multiple-diaphragm design to provide virtually pulse-free flow without the need for pulsation dampeners. Flow capacity for the pump ranges from a minimum of .06 to a maximum of 8.0 gph with discharge pressure ratings up to 3,500 psi, depending on flow. The integral relief valve protects the pump from over pressurization on the discharge side. It features a seal-less design, so there are no mechanical or dynamic seals, cups, or packing to leak, wear, or replace. 612-332-5681
Val-Matic Valve VaultSafe Products
Val-Matic Valve’s VaultSafe products are designed to protect potable water systems from contaminated floodwaters, freezing temperatures and intentional harmful contamination. They consist of the FloodSafe inflow preventer, the FrostSafe air damper and the VentSafe vent pipe security cage. The FloodSafe prevents contaminated water from passing through it, thus preventing it from entering the air valve outlet and compromising the potable water system with its dual chambers and float checks. The FrostSafe minimizes the thermal exchange of cold and warm air in and out of a vault to help prevent freezing with a bidirectional hingeless disc and wafer design. The VentSafe safeguards vent pipes against the hazards of nesting animals and intentional harmful activities because of its hemispherical screened security cage. 630-941-7600
