Endress+Hauser's Levelflex FMP55
multiparameter level transmitter can measure both the overall level of a liquid
and the interface between two liquids. The FMP55 utilizes two level
technologies built into one probe. The transmitter will automatically switch
between the technologies for an interface measurement, even in the presence of
emulsion or rag layers. The use of two technologies eliminates problems
associated with interface level applications.
Capacitance is not
affected by emulsion or rag layers in interface applications, and the radar
allows the transmitter to monitor the overall level as well as the interface
level. The transmitter has a multi-echo tracking algorithm that can track up to
20 tank echoes simultaneously as the tank level rises or lowers. This ensures
that the transmitter will not make a "jump" to an echo that is not
the true level, such as a internal tank obstruction or heater coils. The level
sensor has a measuring range of up to 33 ft (10 m). The transmitter offers a 4-20mA with HART
output signal plus an optional second 4-20 mA output
With its coated multiparameter probe, the FMP55 is
useful for interface measurement in the oil, gas and chemical industries. It
can be used in process temperatures from -58 to 392F (-50 to 200C) and in
pressures from -14.5 to 580 psi (-1 to 40 Bar). The FMP55 carries a SIL 2
rating as certifed by TÜV per IEC 61508 and has ATEX, IEC Ex, FM and CSA area
classification approvals available.
The FMP55 is equipped
with a HistoROM built into the main housing of the transmitter. All of the
setup parameters are stored on the HistoROM and, in the event of an electronics
change-out, all of the information will be uploaded directly into the new
electronics module. In the case of multiple units being set up at the same time
with the same measurement parameters, the same HistoROM information can be
transferred into a display that can be removed and installed in the next
transmitter. This allows for the transfer of the set-up data, reducing setup
time during field commissioning.
There are three different
setup methods for the FMP55. The first method is the use of the removable
display. Second, the device can be fully commissioned via the three buttons on
the display itself, using a menu-guided six-step quick setup. Third,
Endress+Hauser's free FTD-based FieldCare software program allows for a
flexible method for setup using a PC, and the software can be integrated into a
complete lifecycle management system.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
