The SCG Indu-Tech Level Transmitter Isolation Valve

Universal Mounting

The isolation valve has independent bolting patterns to mount the valve to the tank and the level transmitter. Separate mounting plates ensure a safe working environment when removing a level transmitter from the tank during routine operations.

Thin Cross Section

The isolation valve features a thin cross-section, ensuring the level transmitter is as close as possible to the process tank for better measurement accuracy.

Lever Handle with Simple Lock Out

The isolation valve includes a 90-degree ¼ turn on/off lever handle. With no exposed apparatus on the handle, operators can open or close on demand, even in situations of long term inactivity.

Light Weight and Compact

The Indu-Tech isolation valve weighs under 20lbs (9kg) and is straight forward to install, even in confined spaces that are difficult for larger valve designs. Installation does not require mechanized lifting gear.

Bubble Tight Seal

The isolation valve features a close-captured seated ball design, ensuring that the process medium does not build up internally as commonly experienced with open cavity ball valves. Every valve passes strict quality standards for a bubble-tight design before shipment.

The Limitorque MX Series B Electric Valve Actuator

Where reliability is critical, the Limitorque MX B Series electric valve actuator performs across a broad range of challenging applications. These include the toughest environments in oil and gas production, commercial power generation, chemical manufacturing, water and wastewater, as well as across general industry.

MXb Enhanced User Experience

An updated user interface coupled with a simplified, intuitive menu structure and larger, high-resolution LCD screen makes navigation easy and enables 50% faster commissioning, set-up, and operation. Users of any skill level can configure the actuator through various pre-configured or customization options for quick and error-free set-up and operation. A larger, higher-resolution LCD with a built-in ambient light sensor offers eight times the previous display's resolution to extend viewing distances up to 30 feet. Real-time torque graphs, alarm and event logs, and other data are accessible in higher-quality resolution.

MXb Advanced Diagnostics and Analytics

The MXb electric actuator's next-generation diagnostics and analytics capabilities help operators monitor and track its performance and quickly respond to upset conditions. The MXb actuator has 500 times the previous MX model's memory capacity, allowing increased data capture and storage for higher degrees of process monitoring, data logging, and information feedback. Additionally, a real-time clock enables data log time stamping to support asset management functions and lifecycle analysis.

MXb Improved Reliability

The actuator's design isolates critical components, protecting them from electrical shock and interference, typical in extreme environments. High-quality materials extend actuator service life, operating ranges, and mean time between failure.

MXb Simplified Maintenance

A new electric connector design removes the need for brackets and hold-downs, making maintenance more straightforward and faster. And the enhanced connector design ensures robust connectivity throughout the rated seismic and vibration envelope.

Bronkhorst ES-FLOW Flow Meter/Controller Achieves 3-A Sanitary Standards

Bronkhorst presents their new generation of ES-FLOW Ultrasonic Flow Meters for low flow rates of water, additives, and other liquid substances. The improved flow meters measure volume flow from 2 up to 1500 ml/min with even higher precision, high linearity, and low-pressure drop, using ultrasound in a small-bore tube. The instruments are liquid-independent, thanks to the unique measuring principle, which accounts for the flow calculation's actual sound velocity. Thanks to the combination of a straight sensor tube with zero dead volume, the flow meter is self-draining. The flowmeter with orbital TIG-welded flanges is CIP or SIP cleanable and now meets 3-A sanitary standards for hygienic applications. More information at the Swanson Flo website here.

Badger Dynasonics Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Badger Meter ultrasonic flow meters measure flow rate by propagating ultrasound waves into liquid-filled pipes and measuring the reflections. There are two technologies to choose from based on the fluid properties:

Transit time
Doppler

With clamp-on technology, the Badger Meter ultrasonic meters reside outside the pipe and bring you flow measurement with:

Reduced installation costs
Uninterrupted production
Installation flexibility across a wide range of pipe sizes
No pressure head loss
No contact with internal liquid
No moving parts to maintain

The TFX ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter is quickly and easily installed without cutting or tapping the pipe. Ultrasonic waves transmit upstream and downstream through the pipe wall and water flowing in the pipes. By measuring the difference in the travel time and knowing the pipe size, the meter determines the velocity and flow rate. TFX flow meters are a cost effective meter for measuring water flow in a variety of applications.

Now is the Time to Pay Attention to Your Plant's Steam System!

Avoid Costly Downtime and Lengthy Maintenance from Frozen Process Piping and Steam Tracing Lines

Winterization is necessary for refineries, petrochemical plants, and other industrial plants to protect equipment and piping from content solidification or coagulation. Winterization is usually accomplished in manufacturing plants using steam tracing, steam jacketing, or electric heating methods. Now is the time to inspect your plant's steam system and make sure you're ready for winter!

Contact Swanson Flo with all of your freeze protection and steam system needs.
