Detachable level transmitterViatran’s Model 595 detachable level transmitter features an industry-exclusive detachable body, which allows for quick sensor swap and replacement without removal of the installed cable. To swap, the user simply pulls up the sensor, twists the coupling sleeve until no longer engaged, and then separates the two halves. Units can also be re-attached in the same manner, without the need for special tools. A triple O-ring seal prevents fluid ingress. Each unit also undergoes extensive leak testing prior to shipment. Available in ranges from 0-16 inches W.C. to 0-335 feet W.C.

Flow meter with Modbus capabilitiesSparling Instruments has begun production on a Modbus-capable version of its TigermagEP™ electromagnetic flow meter. Responding to requests from customers for an electromagnetic flow meter with integrated Modbus for use in digitally controlled or automated systems, TigermagEP electromagnetic meters, whether integral or remote style, which are already installed in a system, can also be upgraded to Modbus by adding an optional Modbus-enabled transmitter or module. The modules are easy to change out in the field, so it’s fast and simple to integrate existing TigermagEP mag meters into a Modbus network.
