We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "EHEDG (European Hygienic Equipment Design Group)",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Four-electrode hygienic conductivity sensor from
Emerson Process Management, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Rosemount Analytical PUR-Sense 410VP conductivity sensor is an easy to install four-electrode contacting sensor designed for sanitary applications in the food, beverage and
life science industries".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Pressure sensor with diagnostic function for pumps from
IFM Electronic: "In addition to pressure measurement, efector PIM offers an additional function, allowing the diagnosis of pumps and the system 'around the pump'".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Yokogawa Europe - Industrial Automation
concerning its pH3A
- take a look at Sanitary pH sensor for food and pharmaceuticals
which says: "A new sanitary pH sensor, the pH3A, designed to minimise contamination in applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, has been introduced by Yokogawa Europe".
Take a look also at the news release from Burkert Fluid Control Systems, Modular range of intelligent liquid level sensors,
as well as Hygienic mass flowmeter for food applications from Endress + Hauser,
and New hygienic design Promass Coriolis flowmeter from Endress + Hauser.
