‘Pressure Transmitters’

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 Flow Line Options - take a look at Process technology installed at biodiesel refinery which says: "Flow Line Options has supplied Smart Fuels, an alternative-energy company, with process measurement and control solutions for its new biodiesel facility in Fruitland Park, Florida.".

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 PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns from PCB Piezotronics.
