Nick Denbow, Editor, writes:
Just when I decided to
ask for suppliers to send in lots more
technical articles and
case studies, 20 or so come along at once.
This is the amazing
total listed below, just those articles from this
week's mail
that I consider well worth reading! The beauty of
Processingtalk
is that it can archive all these lengthy articles and
reviews, so
that when you need to find it later, for a project, it is
a lot
more accessible (and tidier) than a pile of magazines.
While most stories are from manufacturers, we are also seeking
reviews from consultants and others who have no product allegiance
-
they are always trying to promote their own services of
course.
Several have been provided this week by Spitzer and
Boyes, who run
instrumentation training courses in the USA.
Whether its an
application story or a review of the technology
available, please
remember to send in any of your articles, after
first publication in
paper magazines if you prefer it that way.
Remember, our archives
will go on and on producing sales
enquiries, year after year, long
after the magazines have been
pulped! Plus to help the readers find
the information, we are
fully searchable, and all articles are freely
retrievable,
electronically.
The Summer Sales seem to have started, with
the first four Top Ten
stories boasting lower prices and 'more
competitive' product ranges,
in IR thermal imaging, gas
analysers, high resolution pressure
transmitters and
electromagnetic flowmeters for the water industry.
Just to
demonstrate the range of measurements the process industry
has to
cover, we follow on with temperature, turbidity measurement,
monitoring bursting discs, Fieldbus interfacing and MES software
programmes.
I always have an affinity with brewing
stories, I suppose because the
breweries are specialists in
showing around groups of instrument
engineers and other
enthusiasts, so there are not many of us who
cannot relate to a
brewery situation.
I hope you find this issue of our weekly
newsletter useful. In
addition to the new products, news and
ideas featured here, there are
hundreds more on our website and
dozens more being added daily, so do
take a look if you can.
Alternatively, the full stories behind all
the summaries and
headlines in this newsletter can be retrieved by
email alone: see
details below.

OUR TOP NEW PRODUCT SELECTION
====================================================================
[1] LOWER COST PORTABLE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA
(IMPAC
Infrared, 26 Jul 2005)
The IVN 320-P Thermal Imager is an
innovative hand held camera with a
performance normally found in
models costing significantly more. It
should not be compared with
the general low cost cameras that have
only a 160 x 120 pixel
image and limited features, many of which have
been flooding the
market. The IVN 320-P is a fully radiometric
camera, using
advanced uncooled UFPA microbolometer technology to
give a full
320 x 240 pixel image. Temperatures from -20 to 500C
(optionally
to 900C) can be measured and 124 images can be saved to
the
internal memory.

[2] POPULAR OPTIONS ON GAS ANALYSER REDUCED IN PRICE
(Cambridge Sensotec, 01 Aug 2005)
Cambridge Sensotec and
Oldham Gas Detection announce a new version of
their existing
MX2100 multi-gas analyser. The new MX2100S is
distinguished by
its red colour and is limited to the most popular
four gases: O2
- H2S - CO - Explosives. The customer can choose any
combination
of these four gases and select between 2 and 4 gases, in
a new
fixed price structure. The MX2100S fitted with all four gas
cells
is GBP500.

[4] CUTTING COSTS IN ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW MEASUREMENT
(ABB
Automation Technologies (Instrumentation), 28 Jul 2005)
The
cost of electromagnetic flow measurement has been cut by up to 20
percent with the launch of the FXL4000 flow meter from ABB.
Designed
as a low cost solution for standard flow metering
applications, the
COPA-XL features a light-weight sensor with
integrated electronics.
It offers a cost-effective method of
measuring flow in a wide range
of chemical and water industry
applications, including drinking water
conditioning plants,
dosing stations and sewage treatment plants.

[5] THE NEW ITEMP TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER IS TOUGH!
(Endress+Hauser, 26 Jul 2005)
The new Endress+Hauser
iTemp TMT142 HART temperature field
transmitter has been
purpose-designed to perform where the job
demands, and that
frequently means in tough, inhospitable conditions!
Industries
such as chemical, petrochemical and mining pose their own
set of
challenges. That's why the new iTemp TMT142 offers a robust
housing with IP65 protection and full ATEX approval. The TMT142
is
also universally programmable with HART protocol for
resistance
thermometers, thermocouples and voltage
transmitters.

[6] LOG ON FOR MAINTENANCE FREE REMOTE MONITORING
(Jekyll
Electronic Technology, 01 Aug 2005)
The latest versions of
the Jekyll Telelog offer a simple, maintenance
free method of
remote monitoring and data logging for a wide range of
process
applications including flow and level measurement. Measuring
instruments with either pulsed of digital outputs can now be
connected to the Telelog, allowing a simple but effective
approach,
allowing data collection, logging, remote interrogation
and
communications across existing or new infrastructure
networks.
Telelog also provides an ideal way to add
communications capabilities
to a low cost meter.

[7] IN-LINE TURBIDIMETER ENSURES BREWING QUALITY
(Siemens
Automation and Drives, 26 Jul 2005)
The new Sigrist
DualScat from Siemens delivers highly reliable
measurement of the
turbidity of filtered beer, unfiltered beer, and
wort. As part of
the Sigrist range of process turbidimeters, the
multipurpose
DualScat has a measuring span from 0 to 500 EBC. The
DualScat is
the first in-line turbidimeter capable of measuring 90
degree and
forward scattered light simultaneously with a single
detector
head, making it ideally suited to very compact installation
in
cramped conditions.

[8] ELFAB FIRST TO OFFER DETECTION AS STANDARD
(Elfab, 29
Jul 2005)
Elfab, Europe's leading supplier of
pressure-relief systems, has
added detection to each of its main
product lines, giving end-users
immediate indication that a
bursting device has operated. The Elfab
ATEX-approved,
non-invasive and reusable Integral Flo-Tel sensor is
now fitted
as standard to Opti-Gard, Safe-Gard, Posi-Gard, Vac-Gard,
Arma-Gard, Bursting Panels, and both flat and domed composite
discs.
Elfab is the first manufacturer to offer this service as
standard.
Unlike most alarm systems, which are activated by the
flow created
after a bursting disc has operated, Integral Flo-Tel
is installed on
the vent side of bursting discs and is activated
by the operation of
the disc itself.
