temperature transmitter
Endress+Hauser’s iTEMP TMT71 and TMT72 single-channel transmitters have a user-friendly operation concept, wireless communication and highly accurate, reliable measurements. The transmitters are available with an integrated Bluetooth interface that enables users to wirelessly display measured values and perform configuration tasks. The device is easy to operate using Endress+Hauser’s SmartBlue app. Access to the device is password-protected, and the Endress+Hauser security concept for Bluetooth communication complies with the highest safety standards. The device can be configured without the need to previously install device drivers, since they are stored in the transmitter's electronics. The configurable transmitters are compatible with signals from RTDs, thermocouples, resistance and voltage transmitters.
thermometer
The Ashcroft Model K dual sensor thermometer combines two independent temperature sensing devices into a single instrument. For local indication, a silicone-dampened mechanical ANSI/IEC/EN classified bimetal system drives the pointer over an 80, 100, 130 or 150 mm diameter dial. The choice of a stem from 90 mm to 2,000 mm also contains a type K thermocouple to signal a remote readout, data acquisition device or control system. While providing these two distinct capabilities, the Ashcroft Model K only requires a single process connection point. This multi-capable design will save both installation time and the cost of purchasing two separate instruments.
electromagnetic flowmeter
KOBOLD's new MIM electromagnetic flowmeters provide accurate readings in a space-saving design. Almost all settings can be completed at the display via four optical buttons. Functions such as partial totalizer, display, temperature measurement or maximum flow can also be applied to the hotkeys. With the remote version of the MIM, the unit in contact with the media only contains the sensor. It is able to handle temperatures up to 284ºF. The flowmeter is suitable for a variety of applications, particularly for batching. A changing color system in the display provides warning for limit violations. The flowmeter can be used for media temperatures from -40°F up to 284°F.
