Alliance Technical Sales Wraps Up a Good Year

Alliance Technical Sales, like every other business, is finishing out 2017. Everyone at ATS is thankful for the support and opportunity provided by our customers and suppliers.

The company made some changes to its product lineup during the past year, expanding the range of application solutions available.

• Industrial process heating applications are now part of the ATS solutions lineup.
• The  company's water quality measurement and instrumentation offering was expanded.
• Portable and in-line Process refractometers were added to the ATS product mix.

We also continued our program of product training and education to maintain top flight competence in recommending solutions to our customers' process measurement and control challenges.

Thank you, again. We look forward to the upcoming year and providing service to our customers at all levels.

Sight Flow Indicators

In the operation of an industrial process, there may be instances where a visual confirmation or assessment of fluid flow is useful or necessary. In those cases, a direct reading sight flow indicator is just the thing needed to fill the requirement.

The sight flow indicator is essentially a clear tube with an encasement and appropriate connections that facilitate the indicator's installation into a process piping system. It is installed in a manner that provides an operator visual access to the inside of the piping at that location. Further details about construction materials, armoring, and more will round out the product selection that best accommodates the industrial environment, the media, and the visual inspection needs.

Jogler manufactures a range of flow, level and analytical instruments for industrial use. Their sight flow indicators, with line sizes from 1/2 to 4 inches and lengths up to 60 inches, enable a process operator to get that all important look at the liquid media as is passes through the flow indicator. The presence, color and character of the media can be assessed visually through the flow indicator, delivering visual confirmation of some targeted aspect of the process.

The Indigo family of smart sensors and transmitters, from Vaisala, has been expanded with some newly released humidity probes. The five new probes can be used with an Indigo host device or another using Modbus protocol. Previously available sensors measured concentrations of gaseous carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide. The new offering expands the Indigo functionality into humidity measurement, a mainstay of Vaisala for many years. Humidity can now be measured in:

• Pressurized or high pressure environments, up to 100 bars, with two probe offerings covering differing pressure ranges
• High temperature ovens and similar applications
• High humidity applications where probe heating is required

There is also a new version available for temperature measurement. 

The Indigo family of sensors and host devices are interchangeable, and all can interface with Vaisala's Insight PC software.
