The Ametek Crystal 30 series is a portable wide range digital pressure calibrator available from Cameron Instruments. The series internal sensors provide 0.05% of reading accuracy. Accuracy includes effects of linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, temperature and stability for one year.
The stainless-steel rope sensor from Rechner Automation provides a 4 to 20 mA level reading up to 20 m of height. The system does not have a dead zone due to its patented three-electrode measuring principle.
LJ Star has announced a new design for critical process lighting that is said to offer powerful and reliable LED lighting with a longer service life and higher energy efficiencies than typical halogen bulbs. The new Lumiglas explosion-proof light model USL08LED-EX is the brightest sight glass light available on the market, the company says.
The Almatec ADX series stainless-steel air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps available from John Brooks Company were developed to replace the Almatec’s legacy Chemicor AD pumps, the new series incorporates an array of design enhancements that are said to provide simplified maintenance, improved cleaning and increased safety.
The Endress+Hauser compact Liquiline Mobile CML18 multi-parameter device is said to provide equally fast and accurate monitoring of measured values in the laboratory or process environment. Using select Memosens sensors like the new CPL51E for pH measurement, the smart, battery-powered handheld device is so small, it fits nicely in a lab coat or shirt pocket, the company says.
TNR Industrial Doors series of HDXL heavy duty extra-large rubber doors is said to offer rugged durability and high performance drive systems for harsh environments such as dirt, dust, rain, snow and temperature. The low maintenance units are suitable for heavy industrial and commercial applications, sized for large equipment access, the company says.
With microprocessor technology and silicon pressure sensors, Additel 681 series digital pressure gauges available from SRP control systems are said to provide an accurate, reliable, and economic solution for a wide range of pressure applications.
BinMaster has announced custom-configured 80 GHz non-contact radar level sensors in three different types of housings. Although the metal-jacketed is the most popular, a compact 1-1/2 in. NPT housing may be an easier option to install on an existing fitting and is suited to bins up to 98 ft tall.
AutomationDirect has announced igus Chainflex CF9 and CF10 series multi-conductor control cables for continuous flexing applications.

When working with flammable and hazardous materials, pneumatically actuated quarter-turn valves are preferred over electrical or motorized actuator, reducing the potential for electrical sparks. Any pneumatic valve equipped with a FireChek thermal shutoff from Assured Automation will shut down without the need for any external signal or power, the company says, as its shape-memory alloy responds to the ambient temperature.
