Product Focus: Sensors & Piping

Feb. 25, 2020
New products from VEGA, Endress+Hauser, SKF, and GF Piping Systems.

1 | level and pressure sensors

VEGA launched its new series of through-air radars, compact pressure sensors, point level switches and controllers. The compact radars use 80 GHz frequency but feature a smaller microchip with a faster startup time. VEGAPULS radar sensors come in two versions: compact with cable connection housing or standard with a fixed IP68 cable connection. VEGABAR pressure sensors and VEGAPOINT level switches use a universal hygienic adapter system, and VEGAMET controllers are built with weather-resistant housing.

2 | pH sensor

Endress+Hauser’s Memosens CPS47D, CPS77D and CPS97D glass-free ISFET pH sensors are made of unbreakable PEEK. They deliver reproducible measured values, even after sterilization and autoclaving up to 275°F; come with hygienic approvals for the food and life sciences industries; and are TSE/BSE-free. They can last at least 25 CIP cycles. The sensors store calibration, sensor and process data. Using Memobase Plus software, the sensors can be cleaned and calibrated under optimum conditions in a lab.

3 | equipment monitoring sensor

SKF’s Pulse is a portable Bluetooth sensor and mobile app for monitoring rotating equipment. The app can be downloaded on Google Play or the App Store. Designed for maintenance, repair and operations managers, it provides a cost-effective entry point for a predictive maintenance program. The sensor acts as a smart vibration tool, transmitting data wirelessly via the mobile app for instant machine diagnostics and insights. The vibration and temperature data can be stored for further analysis.

4 | joint system

GF Piping Systems’ Fuseal Fast-Lock Polypropylene is a mechanical joint system for waste drainage systems, ideal for handling corrosive waste mixtures in lab, industrial or food and beverage processing DWV applications. The system includes new fittings from 1½ to 4 inches in flame retardant (FR) Fuseal polypropylene that connects with both FR and NFR pipes. It is pressure-rated due to the design of the sealing and clamping mechanism of the Fast-Lock Collar. A cordless drill or hand tool is needed for installation.
