Control valve
Danfoss Flomatic has introduced its new Cycle Gard® CI, series CIN101, a single chamber, pilot operated, constant pressure pump control valve. This valve automatically adjusts to provide constant pressure at different flows and works with any pump. This simple mechanical device will save electricity, eliminate water hammer and extend service life of the pump while providing a constant pressure regardless of water flow.

Camera inspection system
Envirosight has announced new enhancements to the QuickView zoom inspection camera that allow an operator to measure distance and view far-away objects with greater stability. The system now measures distance to in-focus targets and displays the reading on-screen. An operator simply finds an object, focuses on it, and presses the ‘measure’ button on the controls.

Pressure transmitter
Whether measuring air flow for pond aeration, water flow in a pipe line, filter efficiency via pressure drop, tank levels or pipe line pressure in a water treatment plant, GP:50 offers an Intelligent Differential Pressure transmitter that will meet all requirements in one “smart” package design. The Model GPIDP is available in ranges from 0-0.5" WCD thru 0-3000 PSID with 4-20 mA and/or HART protocol for digital communication. Square root extraction comes standard and provides flow indication if used across a venturi or orifice plate.

Turbidimeter
Hach has released the upgraded Surface Scatter 7 sc (SS7) Turbidimeter that now works with the company’s line of digital controllers. The turbidimeter is designed so that the light source and photocell never come in contact with the sample. In fluids with high loads of suspended solids, this makes sample cell cleaning and replacement unnecessary. All wetted parts of the turbidimeter are made with corrosion-resistant materials for extended life.

Pump control
ITT Monitoring & Control has introduced V5.0 of the PumpSmart PS200. Two highlights of V5.0 are SmartFlow and Advanced Pump Protection. SmartFlow is a proprietary sensorless flow measurement function which will have the ability to calculate the flow of a centrifugal pump within ±5% of the pump rated flow without the need for any external instrumentation. This function mathematically models the pump power curve with only four points of CDS pump performance curve data: BEP flow, BEP power, shut off power and rated speed. Advanced Pump Protection (APP) is an improvement upon the already powerful Torque Based Pump Protection.

Flow meter
McCrometer is now offering the Marsh Multi-MagTM Flow Meter. The meter is an advanced measurement solution for difficult flow conditions: low flows, wide flow ranges, flows containing sand and grit, vertical pipes and locations near bends and elbows. The meter measures liquid volumetric flow rates in pipes sized from 4" to 120" with a streamlined multi-point technology that creates only negligible pressure loss. It is also available for 1-, 2- and 3-inch taps.
