‘Pressure Switch’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
ITT introduces packer feedthrough system from
ITT Interconnect Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "The BIW field-attachable packer feedthrough system launched by ITT Interconnect Solutions is designed to provide a faster method of passing power cables through packers.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig from
Endevco: "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Heason Technology
- take a look at Actuator system for sampling applications
which says: "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
Take a look also at the news release from CPS Color, CPS launches Corob First 70 automatic dispenser,
as well as Resources company selects Able gas flowmeter from Able Instruments and Controls,
and IFM releases safety monitors for AS-interface from IFM Electronic.
