New line of ultrasonic flowmeters
Newly released Innova-Sonic ultrasonic flowmeters are universal transit-time instruments incorporating advances in digital signal processing.
The portable version features Bluetooth wireless PDA interface for a flexible and convenient flow measurement tool. Innova-Sonic is also available with fixed display readout in a choice of clamp-on or insertion transducers.
While mainly designed for clean liquid applications, units tolerate liquids with small volumes of air bubbles or suspended solids. All flowmeters offer low power consumption, high reliability, and applicability at an economical cost, the firm says.
An easy to read display and clear, user friendly menu selections help make using the instrument simple and convenient. The instrument can be configured via keypad without any additional programming devices and is packaged in a die cast NEMA 4X (IP65) housing.
Meters feature a self-contained 4-20 ma current loop signal output for instantaneous flow as well as two independent temperature inputs for thermal energy monitoring.
The instrument also features a seven digit alphanumeric display, parallel operation of positive, negative, and net flow totalizers (with user-selectable scale factors), and configurable pulse and frequency outputs (transmitted via relay and open collector) for totalized flow.

New explosionproof computing display
The new Triton D1 explosionproof computing display carries the Certified Class l Zone l/ATEX Zone l and electrical protection class EMC/EN61326 for maximum protection in hazardous-classified applications such as offshore and land-based well logging, rig floor instrumentation, and mud logging.
Also it also carries the Class I, Zone I, Ex d IIB T4 and Class I, Zone l, AEx d IIB T4 certifications in the US and Canada and the ATEX II 2 G, EEx d IIB T4 certificate in Europe.
The Triton D1 features modular construction with a flameproof all-machined aluminum enclosure. The modular design has easily serviceable subassembly units that shorten repair time, the company points out.
Its design incorporates a 15-in. full sunlight viewable display with EnhancedInfrared touch screen technology.
