Burkert released its new 8030HT paddle-wheel flow sensor with a 316 stainless steel paddle-wheel. The new nonmagnetic paddle-wheel, a change from Burkert’s previous PVDF paddle-wheel, can now withstand temperatures up to 320F and pressure up to 580 psi and is corrosion resistant. The 8030HT also has a velocity range of 1.64 ft/sec to 32.8 ft/sec.
The flow sensor comes in two versions: the three-wire powered sensor and the two-wire self-powered sensor. The powered version has an output frequency pattern of a square wave and can be transmitted over lines of up to 150 ft. The self-powered version has an output frequency pattern of a sine wave and is limited to transmissions of up to 30 ft.
Burkert's 8030HT paddle-wheel flow sensor is used for high-temperature liquid applications, specifically in water treatment and automotive industries. The design of this quarter-turn, in-line sensor allows for easy mount/dismount from the line without shutting down the system, by housing the electronics separately from the paddle-wheel sensor. The list price of the 8030HT ranges from $524 for the half-inch pipe size and $830 for the two-inch pipe size.

In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
