Resistance thermometer keeps it clean
The Model 46 RTD hygienic resistance thermometer is designed for inline operation in food, beverage, pharmaceuticals processing and other applications where it is vital to prevent contamination.
Annunciator is safe and reliable process alarm
The PCA 5000 is claimed to raise alarm annunciator design to a new level, providing OEM and end user customers with high specification alarm solutions at an attractive price.
It is used to evaluate engine wear by quantifying the volume of "blow-by" gas, which increases steadily over time as the engine wears.
Using vortex measuring principles, the Delta Controls unit works by detecting and measuring turbulence created by an obstruction in the flow.
It transmits an ultrasonic carrier wave across the flow and this is modulated by the passing vortices.
The frequency of modulation is processed through signal conditioning electronics to produce a pulsed output that can be monitored.
More accurate than traditional methods of measuring gas flow, such as rotameters, the compact Delta Controls design has no moving parts.
This ensures exceptional reliability overall and an accuracy of 1% with excellent repeatability.
Extremely low pressure drops are a key feature - typically 1.2mbar at full flow.
Delta's transmitter is designed for pipes from 10 to 25mm in diameter, flow rates from 6 to 825 litre/min, pressures up to 20bar and a temperature range from -20 to +120C.
Rated weatherproof to IP66, the transmitter is supplied with PTFE sensors and stainless-steel sensor heads as standard.
