Continuous flow syringe pump
Teledyne Isco’s Demi 2510S is a continuous flow syringe pump that boasts a small footprint and active valves. It was built for users seeking to upgrade to a continuous flow syringe pump as an alternative to the pulsing flow of a reciprocating pump. Small footprint of 10 inches by 12 inches. This is especially beneficial for customers that need to capitalize on limited bench space. The Demi is accurate (± 1.0%) and features dependable flow rates up to 10 mL/min at 173.6 BAR (2,500 psi). Thus, a flow meter is not required.

Check valves
ANVER’s line of CheckVac Valves feature a low 0.17 psi cracking pressure with flow rates up to 63 CV and a one-piece shell to eliminate leaks. Unlike pressure check valves, they optimize system performance by not wasting the pump’s power opening stiffer springs, resulting in up to four times better flow. Designed for vacuum clamping, lifting and holding applications. Made from a leak-free, seamless, one-piece anodized aluminum body with a smooth bore and have a plastic valve element with a specially tempered stainless steel spring and an O-ring seal. Offered in 1/4” through 2” NPT sizes.

Curved bill check valve
The Tideflex® TF-1 Check Valve from Red Valve features a bill that is formed into a curve that returns to a closed position every time, achieving the tightest possible seal for backflow operations, particularly at low flow rates. The eccentric, flat-bottom design allows installation where the invert of the pipe is close to the floor. The stronger engineered spine provides long-term performance while handling water weight.

Interface level switches
The Type CL-10DJI, Dynatrol® Interface Level Switch has been designed for level detection of interfaces between a liquid and a settled bed of solids. The DJI Interface Detector operates successfully with consistent results on applications such as carbon/water interface, sand/water interface, catalyst/liquid interface, steeping processes, and other selected applications including interface detection between liquids of significant viscosity differences. Reliable operation can be achieved with this control in problem applications where the level of solid material is difficult to detect within a specified liquid. The DJI Interface Level Switch is approved for Class I, Group D; Division 1 service.

Flow switch
The FlexSwitch® FLT93 Flow Switch from Fluid Components International reduces pump repair and extends pump life by detecting dry running conditions. FCI’s dual alarm FLT93 Flow Switch reliably monitors the flow and temperature of liquids, gases, slurries and more. It is ideal for pump wet/dry detection. With its no-moving-parts design, it offers a highly robust scheme for pump protection with its dual alarm capability. It is a dual-function instrument that indicates both flow and temperature, and/or level sensing in a single device. Dual 6A relay outputs are standard and are assignable to flow, level or temperature.

Satellite-based connected worker solution
Honeywell’s new satellite-based connected solution helps governments, companies and other organizations monitor the location and safety of workers in remote locations. Personal Tracker utilizes Iridium’s low-earth orbit satellite network. It can be used as a stand-alone, two-way communications device or can be clipped to a backpack to serve as a tracking beacon. It can also be paired with an iPhone so that users can access a Honeywell mobile app that offers features such as interactive SOS, messaging, push notifications, trip information and situational awareness. With Iridium’s two-way communication capabilities, even when used as a stand-alone alerting and tracking beacon, the Personal Tracker can receive location requests and configuration updates.
