Labom Mess- und Regeltechnik
This DP transmitter operates
over a wide temperature range
The new Pascal CI4350 differentialpressure
(DP) transmitter (photo) is
equipped with filling-level software
and can display differential and static
pressure at the same time. The device
has a high-definition graphic
display, which makes comprehensive
configuration possible, as well
as simulations and diagnostics. The
CI4350 is particularly suitable for
very high process temperatures with
a maximum operating pressure of
up to 160 bars as standard (up to
400 bars as an option). The Pascal
CI4350 is not only suitable for high
process temperatures (the measuring
range is -90 to 400°C), but is also
designed for aggressive media - the
wetted parts can optionally be made
of stainless steel, tantalum, hastelloy
or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

A new, 80-GHz, wireless
radar-level sensor
Midwestern Industries
The FWR30 is this company's first
cloud-connected radar level sensor,
and is said to be the world's first 80GHz
wireless IIoT (industrial internet of
things) sensor, providing full transparency
in the storage and transport of
liquids. The instrument's continuously
recorded measurement data can be
accessed at any time, from any location,
due to the device's cloud connection,
with communication made
possible by an integrated SIM card.
The compact device is suitable for
stackable tanks and offers flexible
and easy installation. In addition to
the measured level, the instrument
provides information on tank location,
helping users optimize logistic and
storage processes and save time by
providing continuous access to inventory
information.
The free-radiating
Vortab
measuring device covers measuring
ranges up to 50 ft and temperatures
between -4 and 140°F. Because it
uses non-contact measurement, the
Micropilot FWR30 can be used in all
liquid media. It is resistant to corrosion,
abrasion, viscosity and toxicity.

Full-scale testing services to
optimize screening productivity
Ensuring optimal screening processes
and productivity is vital for a vast range
of processing needs. This company recently
expanded its 10,000-ft2 Materials
Testing Laboratory (photo), which
conducts advanced screening testing.
The lab's experts recently worked on a
full-scale material-recovery test related
to the recovery of carbon black and
other chemicals from end-of-life tires,
with the goal of achieving a specific
size of ground-rubber particles. The
Material Testing Lab was able to determine
the required feed quality for the
desired particle size, and also qualified
the type of equipment that was necessary
to improve consistency. The
company offers these full-scale tests
free of charge. The testing process
may involve a screening questionnaire,
material-sample submission,
feasibility tests and more. Tests are
run on full-sized machinery to simulate
real-world conditions with test materials.

Flow conditioners enhance
ease pump installation
The efficiency and service life of pumps
can be greatly extended by following
the manufacturer's installation recommendation
for pipe straight run entering
the pump. When cramped pump
houses or restricted pipe runs make
this impractical and costly, this company
offers a range of flow conditioners
(photo) to overcome these challenges.
The devices deliver a uniform,
swirl-free flow profile to the pump inlet
in as little as six pipe diameters by correcting
flow disturbances to mimic adequate
pipe straight run and produce
a highly repeatable, symmetrical flow
profile. The flow conditioners' antiswirl
and inclined vortex-generating
profile-correction tabs, projecting from
the inside pipe surface, generate vortices
that accelerate these natural pipe
effects to create a uniform flow profile.
Their use also eliminates the extra
pipe cost and technician labor for additional
lengths of pipe straight run or
moving equipment. - Vortab Co.,
