Saelig Company Inc. has introduced the Lascar EL-ENVIROPAD-TC - a conveniently-sized thermocouple-based temperature meter for spot temperature readings with additional built-in data-logging and graphing functionalities. This robust and easy to use handheld device takes and records temperature readings via the supplied K-type thermocouple probe. Control and display is via a 2.8" color touch screen, which indicates current temperature to a resolution of 0.1degC, maximum and minimum readings, and will produce an immediate graph of the data readings. Operation is user-selectable in Fahrenheit or Centigrade.
The EL-ENVIROPAD-TC has two key functions - data logging and spot measurement with display. When in data logging mode, the EL-ENVIROPAD-TC can be set and left to take standalone temperature readings at a pre-determined intervals for a desired length of time. When in the spot measurement mode, the unit can be used as a thermometer to capture instant temperature readings displayed on the screen. The unit is capable of storing over 65,000 real-time or logged time-stamped readings, which can be downloaded in CSV format to a PC via a USB connection for further analysis, report writing, etc. The USB port is also used for charging the internal battery for up to 24 hours of operation.
Added capabilities include user-configurable audible high and low level alarms. When a preset enabled limit is reached, the EL-ENVIROPAD-TC sounds an audible alarm and the real-time display flashes red. The audible alarm will persist - even after measured temperatures return to normal levels - until reset. The display's background color changes to indicate alarm states: grey = readings within defined limits; red = upper limit exceeded; blue = lower limit exceeded. Data logging sessions may begin immediately, or at a programmable future date and time. The software also has a useful Predefined Checklist Mode: the EL-ENVIROPAD-TC can be used as an electronic checklist to do spot temperature checks on a predefined sequence of items. The free EL-EP software allows users to define a list of checks with custom settings such as: checklist name, temperature scale, items to check, and acceptable temperature limits - great for quality control applications.

The KOBOLD VKG series viscosity-compensating flowmeters and flow switches fill an important gap in the high viscosity media measurement field. Using KOBOLD’s patented viscosity-compensation system, these flowmeters and flow switches are largely insensitive to viscosity and density changes during operation. This development in flow and measurement control technology has resulted in an extremely versatile viscosity-compensated flowmeter and flow switch usable in many viscous-media applications.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that it will release the DTSX®3000 distributed temperature sensor on August 12. With a one meter spatial resolution, this distributed temperature sensor can measure the temperature along fiber-optic cables up to 50 km in length, eight times the distance possible with our previous model. In terms of measurement distance and temperature resolution, this is one of the industry’s top-performing distributed temperature sensors.
Magnetrol POLARIS is an electromagnetic flow meter that is capable of measuring liquids with a conductivity as low as 5 µS/cm in closed pipes. It is an accurate and repeatable flow meter that is suitable for a variety of water based and sludge flow applications. The Polaris transmitter is backlit and rotatable with the capability of measuring forward and reverse flow rates as well as total volume. HART® capability allows the use of PACTware™ for configuration and diagnostics. The sensor can be flanged or wafer style and is available with an assortment of standard liners and electrode materials.
