Hand Held Instrumentation |
Immersion Heaters |
Heaters Controls and Sensors offers a complete line of hand held instrumentation products to meet your needs.
Flanged
Immersion Heaters are used in large capacity vessels,
for high temperature and pressure applications. They
are installed by bolting the unit to a matching flange
welded to the vessel. Watt densities from 90 Watts/sq
inch, Explosion Proof (NEMA 7), Corrosion Resistant
(NEMA 4X), General Purpose and Standoff Terminal housings
are available. A number of sheath materials like Titanium,
Incoloy, Stainless Steel, Steel, and Copper can be
used as required for specific applications. Screw
Plug Immersion Heaters are ideal for immersion min liquids,
where space and connections are a problem. |

Current Transducers Sentry 100 Series are used to monitor motors, pumps, conveyors, machine tools and any electrical load where an analogue representation is required over a range of currents. Current Transducer Solid Core Sentry 100 Series models are CSA approved and UL listed. Sentry 100 Series comprises a current transformer, range selector, rectifier-filter, and scaling circuit. Each sensor has three basic user selectable ranges. The 0-5 VDC output is available on two 6-32 screw terminals. |
Aqua-Boy Moister Meter |
Solid Core Current Transducers with 0-5V output. Sentry 100 Series convert a monitored AC current to a proportional DC voltage of 0 to 5 Volts. 
Aqua-Boy
Moisture Meter measures the moisture content of many
solid materials quickly and accurately. It provides
a direct read-out of percent moisture in seconds. The
extensive selection of probes available suits the Aqua-Boy
Moisture Meter to very many materials. |

Set-up
functions let you customize automatic temperature compensation
and cell constant. The protective rubber boot helps shield
your meter from drops and dings, and features a built-in stand. Con
6 features automatic or manual ranging across five ranges
for a wide variety of applications ranging from pure water
to boiler blow down water. |

Hayward - Simplex Plastic Basket Strainers |
Flowline - Level, Ultrasonic, Alphasonic, RF Capacitance Transmitters |
When pipeline system components require protection from dirt and debris and the line can be shut down for basket cleaning, a HAYWARD® All Plastic Simplex Basket Strainer is the ideal choice. Unwanted particles are removed as the process media passes through a perforated strainer basket contained inside the strainer body. The basket traps the unwanted material while allowing the process media to flow freely.
Flowline has a wide range of non-contact and invasive level transmitter technologies offered in general purpose and intrinsically safe configurations. |

Plastic Diaphragm Seals (Gauge Isolators)
|
New ChemFlare Connections for Sodium Hypochlorite
|
The new Chemline SG Series Gauge Isolators are of all-plastic construction available in PVC, Polypropylene and PVDF. The bonnet is of glass reinforced PP for high strength. The diaphragm is dished shaped Teflon bonded to Hypalon offering high chemical resistance and sensitivity. 1/4" and 1/2" gauge connections are available for gauges or any other pressure instrument. 
ChemFlare connections were developed as a solution to the problems of leakage and failures of PVC threaded and solvent welds on sodium hypochlorite services.  |

Pulsation Dampeners ACCU-PULSE
|
Developed
to remove
pulsating flows from
positive displacement pumps. |

"Minitwist" - Automatic Self-Cleaning Filtration System  “Minitwist” Model MTFC is a fully automatic, self-cleaning filtration system for flows of 0 - 100 US GPM (23M3/H). It removes dirt as fine as 20 micron, and uses a very small amount of water during cleaning process. In filtration mode, flow is from bottomof filter to inside of screen, and out. During cleaning mode, rotating nozzles collect dirt removed from screen by reverse flow, and sends it out through top of filter. Backwash process takes only 5 seconds.• Fully automatic filtration system • Self cleaning, using system water only • Corrosion resistance materials • Easy to install. Inlet, Outlet and Drain • It takes only 5 seconds for backwash • Quick opening clamp for inspection • Virtually maintenance free See Complete Product Information | Request More Information |
VortexAC Cabinet Coolers For Electrical Enclosures

Limit Controller FM Approved
 This addition to our very popular E5CN series allows us to provide essential protection to high-powered industrial heating equipment.This FM approved limit controller is primarily intended to monitor the temperature of gas flame heated industrial equipment, such as incinerators or ovens, and provide a fail-safe contact that will open in the case of an over-temperature incident, shutting down the equipment and preventing further damage. The point of an FM limit controller is that these control contacts will not remake until manually reset by an operator. A resettable annunciator alarm output is also available. Option card will further enhance the versatility of this device. We have an RS485 serial communications option card (using Omron's Compoway F, or Modbus protocols), and a digital event input card that would allow users to remotely reset the 'limit' output.

E3ZM Stainless Steel Compact Photoelectric Sensors
Wash down of 176ºF water temperature and unique contoured shape and laser markings provide better hygiene.
|
The new E3ZM, the world's first IP69K compact photoelectric sensor giving it the highest wash down rating for an industrial photoelectric making it perfect were high pressure and temperature spray cleaning is required like meat, poultry and fish to maintain proper standards with the use of detergents or disinfectants. |

Ramsey SonaTech Sonic Level Indicator
SonaTech Sonic Measuring Systems from Ramsey can accurately determine the level of bulk solids or liquids in a given bin, tank or other container. Most of the sonic level-measuring systems in use today do not perform optimally if their sound waves are subject to interference from dust, air turbulence, steam or other environmental factors. That's because these are lower power systems with operating frequencies in the 20-50 kHz range, and lower power means diminished penetrating capability. |
Capacitance Level Control
CAP Capacitance Level Control detects the presence or absence of material by sensing a change in capacitance caused by the difference in dielectric constant of the vessel material and air. To detect these small changes, the CAP series sensors use a unique detection circuit that operates at a relatively low frequency level (6 KHz). |
The Ramsey SonaTech sonic level indicator can accurately determine the level of bulk solids or liquids in a given bin, tank or other container. The state-of-the-art SonaTech system provides more penetrating power because it operates in the 5-30 kHz range. That means superior performance in dusty, turbulent or steamy atmospheres. 
Thermo Electron Corporation's "CAP" Series Capacitance Level Control is designed for point level monitoring of solids, fluids or slurries in bins, vessels and chutes. The CAP Capacitance Level Control
can eliminate spills, material waste, and down time by preventing bin overflows, plugged chutes and empty bins. The CAP Capacitance Level Control
works equally well as a high or low level indicator in plastics, food, chemicals, mineral slurries, or other materials. |

Melt Pressure Gauges
In addition Cyronix also offers these same mechanical gauges with 3.3 mV/Volt transducer output, or either 4-20mA or 0 - 10 Vdc transmitter outputs. |
Control Flow From Outside a Pipe - Ultrasonic Flow Switch
The Greyline DFS-II is designed for pump protection, valve control and flow/no-flow alarms. It is ideal for wastewater, slurries, caustics, acids and “difficult” liquids. The watertight NEMA4X switch enclosure includes a 5 amp DPDT control relay with adjustable ON and OFF set points, adjustable time delay, signal strength and relay status LED's and sensitivity adjustment. A sensor mounting kit is included with each switch. |
Melt Pressure Gauges from Cyronix are totally mechanical devices. They offer ease of installation and maintenance. In addition these gauges are ideally suited to processors who require only visual indication of melt pressure. Gauges are available in two unique styles. The CTG style features a 6" rigid stem and 30" of flex capillary. The RTG style has only a 6" rigid stem. Other configurations of these two styles are also available.
The Greyline DFS-II Doppler Flow Switch controls flow with a non-contacting ultrasonic sensor mounted on the outside of pipes ½ inch diameter or larger. It installs in minutes. No pipe drilling or cutting is required and there is no maintenance. |
