We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Process Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Pump acquisition targets process industry from
Ceetak Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ceetak has a national network of service facilities based in all of the major industrial regions in the UK, as well as a network of mobile service technicians".
The same day,
we featured the news release Tubes for hydraulic and instrumentation systems from
Sandvik Materials Technology UK: "All tubes are supplied complete with the original mill certificates guaranteeing and providing complete traceability of the finished product".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Automation Products Group
concerning its Pulse Radar level sensors
- take a look at Radar level sensing handles tough environments
which says: "Pulse Radar sensors will operate over long distances even with target materials that have moderately low di-electric constants".
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), Modular temperature sensors suit varied uses,
as well as Sensors suit dangerous environments from Impress Sensors and Systems,
and Roller bearings suit water treatment plants from Revolvo.
