lations, crystallizations or polymerizations.
The sensors can be integrated
into any plant system and various sizes
of pipes and vessels. For automated
process control, the measuring results
can be transferred to the process control
system via 4-20-mA signal, digital
outputs, serial interfaces, fieldbus
(Profibus DP, Modbus) or Ethernet.
With the integrated PC-interface, it is
possible to read all data and to create
process reports and protocols. Stand

Accurate dosing of
small mass flowrates
Cori-Fill (photo) is a compact solution
for fluid dosage, based around the extremely
accurate mass measurement
of the company's (mini) Cori-Flow
series of Coriolis-type instruments,
for flowrates between 100 mg/h and
600 kg/h. Cori-Fill technology features
integrated batch counters and
the facility to directly control a closecoupled
shut-off valve for brief batch
sequences down to <0.3 s, a proportional
valve for longer sequences, or
a liquid pump for dosing without the
need for pressurized vessels. Cori-Fill
offers all this functionality, with plugand-play
simplicity. In contrast to gravimetric
processes using weighing
scales, where compounds are dosed
one by one, Coro-Fill systems can add
all ingredients simultaneously, shortening
batch and agitation cycles, as
well as improving quality. The amount
to be dosed can be easily preset by
programming the batch counters via a
fieldbus connection, with all the standard
digital protocols available. Stand

Welded tubes in a variety of materials
and sizes
This company produces welded tubes
in stainless steel, duplex, superduplex,
exotic alloys and titanium. The production
range covers welded tubes, with
diameters from 7.24 to 63.5 mm and
wall thickness from 0.4 to 4.00 mm.
The company is highly specialized in
the production of tubes for heat transfer
and its main rule is the safeguarding
of quality production. To this end a fully
controlled working process that requires
the respect of very strict parameters
has been implemented. In line
with this philosophy, the company has
achieved ISO9001-2009, AD2000 W0,
Lloyd's, Rina, Gost certification, as well
as ISO 14001 and BS OHSAS 18001.
The manufacturer is currently supplying
its tubes to 53 different countries
around the world. Stand F35 - A.D.

Gasket tape for sealing
glass-lined steel equipment
De Dietrich Process Systems (Munich,
Germany; Stand K19), a leading
international manufacturer of glasslined
steel equipment, has endorsed
and will provide sales, technical and
installation support for this company's
GORE Gasket Tape Series 1000
(photo), a new sealant product. GORE
Gasket Tape Series 1000 was developed
to more effectively meet the
sealing challenges of glass-lined steel
equipment utilizing aggressive media
under demanding process conditions,
such as high temperatures, alternating
system pressures, limited gasket loads
and deviation of sealing surfaces. The
new tape product incorporates a
unique barrier core, which enables it
to maintain an extra-tight seal across
the full width of the flange - even at
low loads, and even in the presence of
highly permeating media. Tests demonstrate
that Series 1000 produces a
seal that is more than ten times tighter
than other ePTFE gaskets, with even
greater advantage over envelopes
when flange deviation is present, says
the company. Manufactured in the
form of a highly-conformable spooled
tape, Series 1000 is optimized for use
in large (≥DN 600/ASME 24 in.) or nonstandard
flanges typically found in columns,
mixer vessels, reactors, storage
and receiver tanks. With Series 1000,
gaskets can be customized on-site,
as needed. This eliminates the need
for offsite fabrication of large gaskets,
and the associated long lead times
and complicated logistics for shipping,
handling and installation. With Series
1000, gasket inventories can be
streamlined, and inventory costs reChemiCal
