To survive in biogas processes, the ST51 flowmeter comes standard with 316 stainless-steel body construction and Hastelloy-C22 thermal sensors. It has no moving parts and is nonclogging, which eliminates the need for constant cleaning under wet, dirty biogas conditions. The ST51A meter comes with full global Division 1, Zone 1, Ex safety approvals.

The meter's electronics are housed in a durable NEMA 4X, IP67 dust/water ingress-protected and all-metal (aluminum or 316L stainless steel) enclosure with dual conduit ports in either NPT or M20 threading. The transmitter can be integrally mounted with the flow element (probe) or can be remote-mounted for installation flexibility. The instrument comes standard with dual 4-20 mA, NAMUR NE43 compliant outputs and a 500-Hz pulse output.

The model adds digital communications via the HART, Version 7, protocol. It provides plant staff with digital data on flow rate and temperature parameters, the instrument's health, fault diagnostics, and asset management information. It can also make field configuration changes if needed by using standard HART portable communicators.FCIwww.fluidcomponents.com

A Profinet fieldbus interface is also available on the company's industrial mass flowmeters and controllers for gases (for this new fieldbus, the FM and ATEX approvals are pending). The flexible architecture with its scope of functions enables machine automation: maximum performance and precision, flexible address assignment and modular design, fast commissioning thanks to open access, and defined interfaces and optimal diagnostics of devices and the network.Bronkhorstwww.bronkhorst.com

The EE660, designed for laminar flow monitoring and clean room applications, measures low air velocity. The transmitter is now also available with an RS485 interface. The EE660 is suitable for measurement of low air velocity down to 0.15 m/s (30 ft/min). It features an E+E hot film sensing element. Furthermore, the sensing element is resistant to contamination and has a low angular dependency.

The EE660 is user configurable with jumpers on the electronics board or via software. The adjustment and the display setup can be performed with an optional configuration adapter and the free EE-PCS product configuration software.E+E Elektronikwww.epluse.com

The company's flow switches alert users to potential failures due to a reduction in necessary fluid flow. The recently released BFF series of flow sensors, which are available in both thread-in and inline versions, provide a switching output that is activated when the flow falls below a user-defined rate. This makes it possible to notify users of system problems, such as the failure of a pumping system, a clogged filter, or leaks, before they cause critical issues or system shutdowns.

The BFF series of flow sensors complement the company's existing line of temperature sensors and are an addition to the line of process-oriented sensor products.Balluffwww.balluff.com

The sensor system is mounted on a base plate that acts as a "shock absorber," effectively shielding the Coriolis measurement from outside interference, such as from pipe vibrations. Other contributing factors are the oscillation frequency of the measuring tube and its completely balanced oscillation behavior. At a specified maximum measured error of ±0.1 percent, high-precision measurements down to 8 g/min are possible, or-if the maximum error is permitted to be ±1 percent-even a quantity of less than 1 g/min can be measured.

Because of the variety of device options, such as nominal diameter, material, process connection, certification, transmitter type, or degree of protection, Promass A can be used in numerous applications. It is a small measuring device with a nominal diameter DN 1 (1/24"), so the flowmeter can also be installed in extremely tight spaces, such as in skids. A multitude of process connections are available, such as flanges, lap joint flanges, couplings, internal threads or Tri-Clamps. The flowmeter can be used at process temperatures between -50 and +205°C (-58 and +401°F).Endress+Hauserwww.us.endress.com

The Rosemount 9295 helps end users streamline procurement, installation, operation, and maintenance. Design and purchasing consists of specifying and buying one assembly. Most field welding, cutting, fabrication, and other tasks are not required, because all components are fully assembled and leak checked. The Rosemount 9295 is a single assembly, but individual components can be replaced while it is in service.
