SMART SAFETY SENSOR SRF FOR SMART FACTORIES
represents a really smart safety move at a time when the ongoing merging of automation and IT see Industry 4.0 move from vision to reality. The company, based on the Westgate Park Industrial Estate in Aldridge, Walsall, has introduced the non- contact Smart Safety Sensor SRF, to protect those working in Smart Factories from injury. The SRF – an abbreviation of Safety RFID – is an especially compact sensor which monitors moveable separating protective equipment such as flaps, doors and protection hoods. If, for any reason, these separating safety devices fail to close properly, the SRF immediately shuts down machines and equipment – or prevents them from starting. In developing this new product, Bernstein has paid particular attention to the diagnostic system accompanying the sensor which provides a large amount of data, making it available centrally and flexibly as an aid to intelligent production.

CONTINUOUS, INLINE PH MEASUREMENT IN AMMONIUM NITRATE PRODUCTION
O
ver 20 million tons of the inorganic salt Ammonium nitrate (AN) are produced globally
per year. It can be used as a pure fertilizer or, more commonly, is blended to produce other valuable fertilizer products, with the majority of AN produced through a neutralisation reaction of ammonia and nitric acid at high temperature and pressure. The pH of liquid AN must be constantly controlled
to prevent decomposition with storage temperatures (130°C) typically too high for traditional pH sensors. At such temperatures, pH sensors experience rapid evaporation of internal
electrolytes, and sensor lifetimes of less than a week can be common. METTLER TOLEDO has developed an advanced, pressurisable pH sensor to provide
continuous and accurate measurements in such harsh conditions. Having the electrolyte under pressure elevates its boiling point substantially, greatly reducing loss of electrolyte through evaporation. The pressurized liquid also avoids reference system contamination due to the steady outflow of electrolyte. The addition of durable sensor housings allows for sensor retraction and rinsing, ensuring that AN does not crystalize within the housing.

NEW DYNASONICS TFX-500W ULTRASONIC CLAMP-ON FLOW METER T
he new addition to the Dynasonics product line is a versatile, cost-effective solution for measuring water flow in industrial applications. Providing an economical solution for measuring water flow bi-
directionally in a variety of applications. This new model is remarkably easy to install – thanks to its clamp-on design. As a result, there is no requirement to tap or cut the pipe. Simply attach the meters sensors to the outer structure of the pipework to complete the installation. This makes the TFX-500w ideal for existing projects, as retrofitting to existing systems is simple and quickly completed, removing the requirement for any system shut down time. Furthermore, there is no loss of pressure as a result of the non-invasive design of this ultrasonic flow meter. The TFX-500w is capable of measuring flow rate, velocity and water flow with precision and accuracy. Finally, a large and user friendly display screen completes the design. The TFX-500w is available in sizes 1/2 inch to 10 inch, and can function in a temperature range of -40 to
70 °C. It is capable of measuring flow from 0.38 to 37,000 L/min. Data communications options include Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP. It also supports full integration with the Badger Meter BEACON® and AquaCUE® Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA) cloud-based software suites. The front panel buttons control the programming of the TFX-500w, or alternative by programming it via USB cable using SoloCUE® configuration software. Thanks to its flexible range of sizing and temperature handling abilities, the TFX-500w is an extremely
versatile flow meter. The Dynasonics TFX-500w is well suited to a range of applications. Typical examples include water systems, wastewater effluent, agricultural irrigation and industrial discharge.
