Jogler Magnetostrictive and LIDAR Level Transmitters

This video illustrates the technology used in the Jogler MGT-6000, ILT-6000, and LLT-1000. Both the ILT-6000 and the LLT-1000 are Magnetostrictive Level Transmitters, whereas the LLT-1000 is a LIDAR Level Transmitter. 

The MGT-6000 Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter is a loop-powered non-contact level measurement device that attaches to a magnetic level gauge. The MGT-6000 uses the magnetostrictive principle and time-of-flight calculations to quickly and accurately measure float position and, ultimately, the liquid level in the indicator. Elastomeric vibration-isolating bushings ensure continuous operation in high-vibration environments. 

The ILT-6000 Direct Insertion Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter is a non-contact loop-powered level measurement device installed directly into a process vessel. The ILT-6000 provides a fast and accurate measurement of float position and, ultimately, the liquid level in the gauge by utilizing the magnetostrictive principle and time-of-flight calculations. The ILT-6000 installs in an isolation well assembly, which allows the transmitter to be removed, serviced, or replaced without disrupting the process. 

The LLT-1000 LIDAR Level Transmitter is a laser-based non-contact instrument for measuring dry solids and opaque liquids in silos, tanks, hoppers, and other vessels. The LLT-1000's 4-20mA and relay outputs allow its use in a variety of control schemes.

Hawk Measurement OptioLaser L100 and L200

Hawk Measurement Systems (HAWK) is the global market leader in level, low measurement, positioning, and asset monitoring technologies, offering cutting-edge equipment and turnkey solutions to the global industrial sector.

The Hawk OptioLaser L100/L200 is a non-contact laser sensor that measures the distance over solid and liquid surfaces, slurries, and murky water. Solid surfaces can be anything from a metal plate on the side of an overhead crane to the top of material stored in a silo. The OptioLaser can configure for distance or level measurement using an easy-to-use menu system. The excellent precision, extended range, and fast update rate make this sensor appropriate for a wide range of applications. 

The OptioLaser L100 (up to 164ft) and L200 (up to 328ft) measure the distance to solid surfaces, slurries, or murky liquids. They are made of 303 stainless steel and configured through USB. Level control, distance, orientation, and blockage detection are all possible with the L100 and L200. 

The OptioLaser employs a one-of-a-kind laser with an extremely narrow beam capable of measuring long and short distances at virtually any angle. Furthermore, the OptioLaser L100/L200 is entirely composed of stainless steel, making it exceedingly durable and ideal for the roughest environments. The OptioLaser's accuracy and endurance make it suited for a wide range of applications and industries. 

THE HAWK MEASUREMENT OPTIOLASER L100 AND L200 LASER LEVEL TRANSMITTERS ARE EXTREMELY SUITABLE FOR MEASURING THE LEVEL, DISTANCE, AND LOCATION OF SOLID AND LIQUID SURFACES. 

The sensors work well in various applications, including blocked chute detection, material handling, positioning, plastic pellet silos, conveyor belt edge control, ore pass levels, and bin levels. 

OptioLaser L100/L200 Transmitters are fully customizable and have simple-to-use software. Lasers, which can measure distance or level, are especially useful in mining applications. 

Tripper positioning, obstruction detection, barrier detection, machine identification, stockpile monitoring, and point-level measurement are all monitored by the OptioLaser S200 Laser Sensor. Block chute detection, stockpile monitoring, tank and silo level detection, collision detection, and vehicle or machine detection are examples of typical applications. 

The Hawk Measurement OptioLaser L100 and L200 are perfect solutions for various industrial applications, including plastics, mining, aggregates, water and wastewater, oil and gas, pulp and paper, pharma, food, beverages, chemicals, and petrochemicals.

What Is Mettler Toledo Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM)?

Mettler Toledo Process Analytics Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) is an innovative digital technology for analytical process parameters that combines many features into a unique solution. The foundation of the technology is built from a microprocessor embedded in all ISM sensors. This allows a wealth of valuable features that analog sensors cannot compete with, including a robust digital signal fast error-free measurement, point startup, and advanced diagnostics that clearly inform operators when calibration maintenance or replacement will be required. 

The critical diagnostics tool in ISM is the dynamic lifetime indicator (DLI). The DLI provides technicians with a clear indication of how much the exposure to a process has altered a sensor's condition. In the case of ph sensors by continuously analyzing the process conditions and other factors. The DLI constantly calculates how many days are remaining in the reliable lifetime of the sensor. There is no estimating based on a percentage of remaining life. You receive a precise number of days of life remaining, making it easy to plan maintenance and replacement. If process conditions become more or less harsh, the DLI rapidly responds appropriately. In addition the DLI actually adapts to process conditions to ensure diagnostics are always reliable.

Another important feature of ISM technology is "plug and measure" when connected to an ISM transmitter. The pre-calibrated sensor is instantly recognized and the transmitter configures itself appropriately without any operator intervention. When an exchange of sensor is needed this plug and measure functionality means a pre-calibrated sensor can be installed and be ready to measure in under a minute. This substantially reduces the amount of time that maintenance staff need to spend at measurement points. With its highly informative diagnostics that adapt rapidly to process conditions and its robust digital signal, ISM offers efficiencies in maintenance planning, plant safety and productivity while also reducing production costs.

Continuous, Inline Process Refractometers Can Help You Improve Your Food Production Process

Adherence to dissolved substance concentrations in food processing is critical for consistent product quality. A refractometer, which measures refractive index, is an excellent tool for monitoring these concentrations. 

When immersed in a fluid, refractometers measure the magnitude of redirecting light, referred to as the angle of refraction. The refractometer links these measurements to the refractive index (nD), a long-established computation of known values. These values determine the concentrations of the solutions. 

Measuring dissolved solids in food production has enormous promise for better efficiency and quality. Many applications use a manual method in which measurements are taken repeatedly and at short intervals, which is inefficient and slows down the operation. Taking process measurements with a pipe-mounted (inline) continuous refractometer, such as the Electron Machine MPR E-Scan, is a considerably more efficient and time-saving method. 

The MPR E-Scan continually checks the concentration utilizing an inline sensor, allowing for accurate measurement of the devolved solids and repeatable process control. Typical applications cover all elements of the food business. Controlling the sugar content in juices, soft drinks, jams, and jellies; measuring the milk-fat solids in dairy products; and measuring mash measurements, wort concentration, and alcohol level are examples in food production. Continuous and real-time measurement reduces production run time and increases efficiency considerably.

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Your Water Testing Instrumentation

Frustrated with Water Quality Instrumentation "Sunsetting"?

HF scientific is committed to supporting rural and suburban water markets. Other water quality instrument suppliers abandon these markets and favor large urban water systems. They then push lucrative service contracts to support their product's complex operating scheme. That's not the HF way. HF scientific will gladly provide in-depth product training, both remotely or in person, and their products are cost-effective and easy to use. That's particularly important for water systems that don't have dedicated instrument personnel or where one operator wears many hats.

HF scientific's value proposition embraces all customers who want to maintain their equipment simply, affordably and for the long term.

Sunsets are beautiful, except when its the sunsetting of your valuable water testing equipment.
