Two pressure transmitters at the
same measuring point
For a pharmaceutical manufacturer,
this company developed a customized
product to measure significantly
varying pressures from a single measuring
point. The solution was to use
two pressure transmitters from the
Pascal CV3 series, each covering different
measuring ranges and both
mounted on the same diaphragm seal
(photo). Depending on the stage of the
production process and the filling level
of the tank, the system can switch
from a wider measuring range of up
to 4 bars to a finer measuring range of
up to 400 mbars. The smaller measuring
range is overload-protected and
the sensor disregards the higher pressures.
In order to achieve such high
levels of measuring accuracy under
widely fluctuating temperatures, the
diaphragm seal is further equipped
with a patented low-temperaturecoefficient
diaphragm, which compensates
for any temperature-related
expansion of the seal's transmission
fluid. This increases measurement accuracy
by up to 70%, compared to
conventional sinusoidal diaphragms.

This filter handles
contaminated polymer melts
The ECO 500 (photo) is a high-performance
melt filter for the filtration of
heavily contaminated polymer feedstock.
For chemical recycling, this
technology is suitable for filtering lowviscosity
polymers. The filter is selfcleaning,
with a rotating, perforated
drum, through which there is a continuous
flow of melt from the outside
to the inside. A scraper removes the
contaminants that are held back on
the surface and feeds them to the discharge
system. This enables the filter
to be used fully automatically with no
disruptions over long periods without
having to replace the screen. The advantages
include reliable melt filtration,
ultra-low melt losses, constant pressure
curve, fast spreading of the contamination
and short residence time of
the melt in the filter. - Maag Pump

Adjust the pH with this
CO2 feed system
The new CO2 Feed System (photo)
is a safe and effective way to adjust
pH and minimize risk associated with
dangerous mineral acids. The 0-100%
scaled flowmeter has an integral adjustment
needle valve for increased
accuracy. Additional benefits of the
CO2 Feed System include a NEMA 4X
enclosure, illuminated on/off switch, a
flow setpoint indicator, stainless-steel
solenoid valve and simple push-tight
tubing connectors. The CO2 Feeder
is said to be an affordable and reliable
system that is simple to use and
adjust. - Blue-White Industries, Inc.,

This face shield has
safety goggles built in
Typically, when workers wear a face
shield, they still have safety glasses on
underneath. That is because most face
shields have gaps on the bottom and
sides that can let dangerous materials
in. Conversely, Vader Combo (photo) is a
face shield with the safety goggles builtin.
It is one wearable piece of personal
protection equipment (PPE) that does
the job of two. It covers the whole face
and protects the neck from foul or painful
debris, sparks or liquid sprayback.
Vader Combo has BK-Anti-Fog protection
that lasts 15 times longer than
EN 166/168 requirements for the best
visibility available, says the company. Its
integrated face shield offers 180-deg.
peripheral vision and face coverage.

A digital pressure gage for use in
mobile service applications
The model CPG1200 digital pressure
gage (photo, p. 26) enables flexible
setting of operating pressures,
readjusting pressure switches and
carrying out pressure monitoring, for
example, leak testing during transport.
The battery-operated CPG1200
has been designed for use in mobile
applications. Thanks to the durable
plastic case and optional protective
case cap, the instrument is robust
and easily withstands vibrations and
shocks during use. The device covers
