Precision Temperature Recorder

The FUZ4RTD is a 4 channel, battery powered, stand alone, RTD based, precision temperature recorder. This is an all-in-one compact, portable, easy to use device that will measure and record up to 21,845 measurements per channel. The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. The device can be started and stopped directly from your computer and its small size allows it to fit almost anywhere. The QUADRTD makes data retrieval quick and easy. Simply plug it into an empty com port and our user-friendly software does the rest. See more of our data loggers by clicking below.

Extruder Rupture Disks For Plastic Extruders

Extruder Rupture Disks are designed for reliable emergency relief of excess pressure since they instantaneously rupture at a specific predetermined pressure range.

Cyronix's model CBP Extruder Rupture Disk is designed specifically for use in plastic extruders. Each assembly consists of a stainless steel body and rupture disk. A rupture disk may be specified for primary relief in applications where pressure buildup can occur so rapidly that the response time of a relief valve is inadequate, such as in a polymerization reaction vessel.

Wind Measuring Systems - Ultrasonic Anemometer

Measure temperature as well as wind speed and direction.

The Ultrasonic Anemometer 2D detects the horizontal components of wind speed and direction in two dimensions as well as the virtual temperature. Due to its very short measurement intervals, the Ultrasonic Anemometer is ideal for the inertia-free measurement of gusts and peak values. The sensors and instrument body are automatically heated so that measurements are not affected by ice, snow or rainfall.

Both serial and analogue outputs are provided. Click below to see more Wind Measuring Systems.

Process Chlorine Dioxide Sensor From Sensorex

The CLD series chlorine dioxide sensors utilize amperometric technology for real time chlorine dioxide measurements.  Applications include water treatment disinfection and chlorine dioxide generators. These sensors integrate ATC and provide a fixed 4-20mA output which is temperature compensated. A power supply voltage of 12-24VDC is required. The CLD02 is designed for 0-2ppm measurements and the CLD10 features a measuring range of 0-10ppm. Membrane caps are replaceable and replacement electrolyte can be purchased to maximize service life. Body is constructed of Black PVC and the membrane is constructed of durable Teflon. The FC70 flow cell incorporates a vortex generator which prevents air bubbles from forming on the membrane surface leading to erroneous readings.

BETE Spray Nozzles

Innovation is a BETE hallmark, and we are proud that over 60% of the nozzles we ship have been customized to meet the specific needs of a customer. Our new rapid prototype machine speeds development of customized nozzle solutions. We can test a prototype nozzle in our laboratory hours after it was designed for a customer.

Quality has been an ongoing commitment at BETE since our founding in 1950. In 1993, we were the first spray nozzle company to have its quality management system registered to ISO 9001. In 2003, we became the first spray nozzle company in the world with a quality management system registered to the demanding ISO 9001:2000 standard.

Vortex Cabinet Coolers For Electrical Enclosures

Vortex Cabinet Coolers are an affordable, low maintenance, and easy to install alternative for thermal management of electrical cabinets and control panels. Using filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology, Vortex Coolers provide cooling capacities to 5000 BTUH and maintain NEMA 4, 4X and 12 ratings.

Today's small and compact, multi-function electronic controls, variable speed drives, servos and programmable logic controllers are extremely sensitive to heat and contamination. Excessive heat causes components to "cook", digital displays to misread, controls to drift, and breakers to trip below their rated loads. The result is often lost productivity from machine or line shutdowns.

Y Sediment Strainers from Chemline Plastics

The Chemline YSA Series Y Sediment Strainer is a safety filtration device designed to entrap occasional solid impurities in the line. This is to protect equipment with small orifices such as solenoid valves, and prevent damage to pumps or control valves, etc. The easily replaceable filter screen comes in a choice of meshes. The new YSA Series True Union models have greatly increased filtration areas. Pressure drops are lower and less frequent cleaning is required.

What To Look For In Descaling Heat Exchangers And Other Water-Operated Machinery

Water scale on any heat transfer surface reduces the effectiveness of that heat transfer. This results in reduced equipment efficiency while increasing energy consumption, increasing costs and even increasing plant downtime. Often this "buildup" problem is either ignored or relegated to "fixing it at the last minute or upon mechanical failure" status because of downtime costs. This is historically based on the premise that to descale takes a great deal of time.

Cleaning can be done either mechanically or with the use of chemicals. Mechanical cleaning obviously takes a great deal of downtime because to mechanically clean, you need to dismantle equipment. There is also the replacement of gaskets and seals adding to the cost. In addition, mechanical cleaning does not always get "all" the scale out.

Microprocessor Control

This sophisticated microprocessor control combines multiple inputs/output with a “teach function”. The teach function offers the user the ability to teach the control various parameters or set points. These parameters or set points can be saved in memory. LED indicators provide visual confirmation for power and fault condition and outputs.

PURPOSE: To control multiple solenoid valves by teaching the control the voltage characteristics of each solenoids being controlled.

Smart Temperature Transmitter 4-20 mA + HART

The Smar TT301 is a powerful and extremely versatile programmable temperature transmitter, which can be used with practically all relevant temperature sensors as well as with load cells, resistance position indicators, etc. The TT301 transmitter is suitable for direct field installation, being weather and explosion proof as well as intrisically safe.

As the same unit can be used for different measuring ranges and many types of sensors, the plant can be standardized using the TT301 in measurements where different types of conventional (analog) transmitters were previously necessary. This drastically reduces calibration and maintenance time, spare part requirements and trainning. It also allows the TT301 to be purchased before measurement and control parameters are known.

Pump Controllers

Ktech Industrial Products Inc., Pump Controllers are installed to automatically operate a pump to control the level of a liquid in a tank. Pump Controllers are used in conjunction with Ktech Multi-Level Float Switches. Use two contacts to start and stop the pump. A relay circuit switches power to the fractional horsepower pump motor or to the three-phase contactor of a large pump motor. Similarly, the switch contacts can be used to operate solenoid valves.

Use additional contacts to indicate an alarm condition. These alarms provide an audible and visual signal. The audible signal can be muted after which the warning light remains on until the alarm condition is corrected.
