SIKO’s inclinometer for rough and tough conditions

Siko announces the launch of the new SIKO Inclinometer IK360L, capable of working under the roughest and toughest of conditions.  The unit conforms to protection classes IP68 and IP69k and is protected against access with a wire as well as being dustproof.  It is also protected against permanent immersion and infiltration by water under high-pressure and vapour steam cleaning (i.e. road vehicles). 

Differential pressure level measurement of pressurised tanks

Keller, leading manufacturer of measuring technology such as isolated pressure transducers and transmitters - represented in southern Africa by Instrotech – has outfitted German market leader in gas worldwide, Linde AG, with differential pressure transmitters at their Munich headquarters. The PRD33X Series was developed for applications that require a high accuracy differential pressure measurement together with high overload resistance in differential pressure ranges as low as 350 mbar.

Rototherm’s Tank-i

Monitor, manage and protect your fuel with Tank-i

With the ever-escalating cost of fuel these days, the siphoning-off of fuel from vehicles for illicit sale in commercial fleets and industry in general is, not surprisingly and most alarmingly, on the increase.  Rototherm, represented locally by Instrotech, uses the proven Canongate technology. 

Non-Invasive Tank Level Gauge

Rototherm, represented locally by Instrotech, has launched VesselCheck, a non-invasive liquid level measurement using proven Rototherm Canongate Technology - leading suppliers of process measurement technology for level, liquid concentration and density and carbon dioxide. VesselCheck has found world-wide application in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, beverage, refrigeration and transport industries for applications as diverse as refrigerant receivers (up to 2000mm); LPG tanks; fuel tanks; distilled spirit vats; beer tanks; pure water tanks; liquid chlorine tanks and acids/solvents tanks.

‘No-foul’ level transmitters with diaphragm

Keller, leading manufacturer of measuring technology such as isolated pressure transducers and transmitters - represented in southern Africa by Instrotech – offers a specifically designed level transmitter with Kynar®-Diaphragm for sewage applications (non-fouling) for extended service in sewage lift station environments.   Keller’s 36XKY features a relatively wide monolithic diaphragm yet small overall size, combining the non-stick quality of Teflon with superior toughness and abrasion resistance that simplifies installation and eliminates the need for bulky and expensive protective cages.

Kobold’s new module level measurement duo - double safeguards process level control

KOBOLD Instrumentation, represented in South Africa by Instrotech – a Comtest Group company – has combined and modularly constructed their NGM (remote transmission level measurement) with the proven NBK (bypass level indicator) to produce a level instrument which works on the principle of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), or guided microwave/radar.

Measuring malt spirit strength

One of the crucial points in production of malt whisky is ensuring the spirit cuts are done at the correct strength.  Since controls were introduced to discourage the production of illicit spirit in 1823, this has been done using a combination of hydrometers and thermometers in a spirit safe.

SENIX FAMILY OF LEVEL AND DISTANCE SENSORS

SENIX, specialist distance measurement manufacturers, represented in South Africa by Instrotech – a Comtest Group company – is offering the ToughSonic LVL family - a range of level and distance sensors designed for ease of use and reliability that offers non-contact level or distance measurement up to 10.7m, depending on the model.
