TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL New TFX-5000 Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter for liquids B


ell Flow Systems have announced the introduction of the Dynasonics® TFX-5000


ultrasonic clamp-on flow and energy meters manufactured in the United States by Badger Meter. Designed for non-invasive, ultrasonic transit


time flow measurement of liquids, these flow meters are ideal for use in water and wastewater treatment, Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning (HVAC) and oil and gas applications. TFX-5000 ultrasonic clamp-on flow and energy


Hydrostatic level sensor for up to 20m

GE has extended its DGC line of hydrostatic level meters, adding a new sensor for measuring liquid media levels


up to 20m. The sensor consists of a measuring head with integrated electronics and an IP68 probe attached to a cable. The cable is up to 20 m long to ensure the probe can be lowered to the bottom of large tanks.


The electronics unit is enclosed in a rugged stainless-


steel housing with a G¾ thread for attachment, for instance on the tank cover. A line of LEDs integrated in the measuring head indicates the level at a glance. The sensor requires a 24V DC supply. It can be used in ambient or media temperatures from -20 °C to +75 °C. Measured values are transmitted via a 4...20 mA output.

meters are a versatile solution for measuring volumetric flow and heating/cooling rates in clean liquids as well as those with small amounts of suspended solids or aeration, such as surface water or raw sewage. Typical applications include water mains, reclaimed water, lift stations and booster pump stations in water and wastewater or the energy transfer of chilled water (cooling) and glycol/hot water (heating) in HVAC systems as well as produced water in oil and gas applications.. By clamping onto the outside of pipes,


ultrasonic devices like the TFX-5000 meter do not contact the internal liquid and have inherent advantages, such as reduced installation time and cost, no limits on pressure or fluid compatibility. The meter is available in two versions: The TFX-5000 meter is specifically developed for


fluid flow metering and heating/cooling energy measurement and can be employed for a host of data logging tasks. Users can select up to eight parameters to log, including flow rate and total, signal strength, and alarms with a time/date stamp to an 8 GB microSD™


Jetbox® selected for Bloc Xtend launch N


(Secure Digital) card. It also features helpful diagnostics that take the guesswork out of isolating process or application problems. Users are alerted to out-of- specification flow conditions and can access a history with the most recent alarm, error and event codes. In addition, the meter can be integrated into remote


telemetry packages for cloud based viewing, monitoring and download.

orthern Ireland based Bloc Blinds are an industry leader in the production


of various types of window blinds. When launching their new unique Bloc


Xtend roller blind in a group of stores across Northern Ireland, they realised that they needed to use quality packaging that would protect the product and also look attractive in store.


After considering many options they


chose to use Jetbox® which is manufactured by Bell Packaging.


Jetbox® is a tube manufactured in


FSC accredited Korsnas board which is supplied on reels or pre-cut to an agreed length thus ensuring no waste.


Bloc Blinds chose 64mm square


Jetbox® in White to present the 4 different widths of product in the range and identified these by adding self- adhesive labels to the tube.


Commenting on the use of Jetbox®,


Cormac Diamond, Managing Director of Bloc Blinds said “Jetbox® is excellent and allows us to present our new product in quality packaging that can also be recycled after use. We intend to increase our usage of Jetbox® as the range grows.”

onward march of IO-Link technology and the important benefits it brings in helping to meet the growing demands for increasingly sophisticated control and automation applications. A good example of this is their innovative range of M30 ultrasonic position sensors, designed specifically for applications where continuous level measurement and object detection for bulk materials or liquids applications are required.


S The ifm M30 range includes


sensors such as the UIT501, one of 6 options for continuous level measurement and object detection which are distinguished by their ability to cover a sensing distance range of up to 8 metres. Among the key features is the ability to adjust the width of sound beam via IO-Link which also helps users to prepare for Industry 4.0.
