PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES DIN11864 AND DIN 11853 ASEPTIC UNIONS FOR ORBITAL WELDING DIN11864 and 11853 unions were developed to meet the exacting needs of the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. This range of unions has been developed from the three most common systems used in the hygienic and sanitary industries; namely the “Aseptic” screwed union to DIN11864-1; the “Aseptic” flange union to DIN11864-2 and the “Aseptic” clamp union to DIN11864-3. Available with optional lengths to suit both orbital and manual welding, these unions have been designed to match tube and pipe specifications to DIN11866 Table A (DIN11850); DIN11866 Table B (ISO 1127) & DIN11866 Table C (ASME BPE). Size range: 10mm to 150mm and 1” to 4” Specials are available up to 304mm Materials: 316L SS 1.4404 and 1.4435 Specials available in Duplex and Alloy 22 www. alchemprocess.co.uk 01269 843800 VAISALA ADDS POTENTIAL FOR SMART INDUSTRIES BY BRINGING NEW SMART PROBES FOR DEW POINT AND MOISTURE IN OIL MEASUREMENT Vaisala, a global leader in weather, environmental, and industrial measurements, has today launched six new smart probes for its Indigo product family, optimized for demanding industrial applications. New options for dew point and moisture in oil measurements bring more possibilities for industries to save energy, optimize processes, and improve product quality. The new probes will improve customers’ process efficiencies by providing accurate and reliable measurement data for their industrial processes. The capabilities of the new probes are based on next-generation sensor technologies. The new Vaisala DRYCAP® Dew Point and Temperature Probes DMP5, DMP6, DMP7, 112 PECM Issue 42 and DMP8 are optimized for low humidity and high temperature or pressurized environments. Dew point measurements are particularly important in various industrial drying applications, for example in ovens and compressed air systems. The dew point probes include Vaisala’s DRYCAP® sensor, which is immune to particulate contamination, water condensation, oil vapor, and most chemicals. Its fast reaction time gives it unmatched performance even in dynamic and low dew point applications, and the sensor’s outstanding stability enables a long two-year calibration interval. The Vaisala HUMICAP® Moisture in Oil Probe MMP8 extends the Indigo product offering to include heavy industry applications such as measuring moisture in transformer or lubrication oils to protect engines from wear and shutdown. Also introduced today, Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP3 is a general- purpose remote probe suitable for duct mounting in non-pressurized applications with moderate temperatures. The probe structure allows the sensor to be replaced in the field without tools, providing maintenance flexibility in demanding applications that might require periodic sensor replacement, such as paint booths. The HMP3 and MMP8 both include Vaisala HUMICAP® thin-film capacitive humidity measurement technology, which has become the industry standard in humidity measurement. www.vaisala.com
