Chromalox is pleased to announce that they now offer Wireless Temperature Sensing for Heat Trace applications in both ordinary and hazardous areas. This new capability provides several benefits including expanded application flexibility, improved process safety, and measured installation cost savings while maintaining system integrity.

WIKA's intrinsically safe submersible pressure transmitter model IL-10 has been designed for the highest requirements of level measurement. Owing to their high accuracy, reliability, and their excellent media resistance, it is the ideal solution for almost all level measurements in hazardous areas.

Varnish formation is a common problem in the lube and hydraulic systems of today's turbomachinery. The severity of the varnish formation can be aggravated by oil chemistry, hot spots in the lube oil system, and static discharge. Hilco's ionic exchange technology has proven to be an effective method in reducing varnish potential in many applications.

Static discharge is a common problem in the lubricating oil systems of today's turbo-machinery. Hilco PH-CGJ style filter elements incorporate conductive fibers which are co-pleated in between two layers of high-performance micro glass filter media. As a result, the Hilco anti-static filter element dissipates static charge build-up before discharge can occur.

Discover convenient remote access of your automated valves when you install the Axiom AMI with AS-Interface featuring Bluetooth® technology from StoneL.

The Jamesbury high-performance valve is a heartier concept than the rubber-lined version. The term 'high performance' when considering the butterfly valve means the valve will take full ANSI pressure ratings, shuts off 'bubble tight', has higher temperature ratings, and, through the use of design and materials, has a much higher cycle life (extending into the millions of cycles without failure or leakage).

The Fulflo® HF Depthflo™ microglass pleated filter cartridges are offered in 6" diameter x 80" lengths. The high surface area filter media is supported with a tin-plated steel core and outer cage utilizing an external O-ring seal with a closed cap.

The explosionproof Hawkeye, with its stainless steel enclosure, is designed for service in harsh process environments. It features a solid state proximity sensor which is encased in a shock absorbent urethane potting material.

Determining problems and errors in the field just got easier with the new WIKA MH-3 pressure transmitter for mobile working machines. WIKA Instrument, LP captures the latest pressure sensor technology with the addition of the diagnostic function in the new MH-3 pressure transmitter.

Securing the go ahead for a system upgrade can be difficult in a competitive work environment, where every cost must be accounted for and validated. Getting your project noticed and approved when it's lost among a sea of competing projects—each one making a claim on finite resources—can seem an impossible task.

When discussing fluid power, pressure is the basis for producing any kind of work.  Work cannot be achieved without pressure. To understand the finer points of fluid power, one must first understand the concept of pressure

A growing trend in industrial plant design is wireless connectivity. Recent technological advances have made wireless protocols significantly more robust and reliable than previous versions, enough so to rival traditional hard-wired connections.

The principal difference between the nature of the flow of gas and the flow of liquid through control valves is that liquids are incompressible, and gasses are compressible.

Selecting a valve with the correct flow characteristic (the relationship between valve opening and flow capacity) can be as important as the selection of the valve size.

Proper training in product, maintenance, and system startup was an essential part of a successful startup of the heat tracing system at the power plant.

Factory automation mobility is not just about iPads. Companies of all sizes need to think about the software needed to push context-sensitive information to operators and managers.

Eight Reasons Why Off-Loop Filters Work

Populations Equipment packagers have an uncanny talent for squeezing major components into very small footprints, obviously to minimize floor-space requirements.

While demographers busily count the world's population, manufacturers world-wide fight a different battle against growing particle populations within lube-oil and hydraulic systems.

One resource that you may have overlooked is OSHA's collection of standard interpretation letters, which are OSHA's official responses to written questions about compliance with the agency's requirements.

Standard fluid line systems were for many years constructed from threaded pipe of assorted materials and were assembled with various standard pipe fitting shapes.

Emissivity is a surface property that determines how much radiation an object emits at a given temperature compared to a blackbody at the same temperature.

If an IRt/c sensor is installed and does not function as expected the failure may be due to something other than the sensor.
