Advantage Goes to Radar Level Over Ultrasonic Transmitters for Bulk, Dry Materials

Ultrasonic level transmitters used in dry bulk solids level monitoring are starting to be eclipsed. Radar level technology is now so good that it can get a level or distance signal from unreflective media such as polypropylene pellets. Compared to ultrasonics, radar is often more reliable, easier to use and has lower maintenance requirements.

The LR64 and LR65 from Schneider Electric (Foxboro) offer customers the benefit of reliable, trouble free solids level measurement. The radars use powerful Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology and advanced signal processing technology.

See How Easy Steam Trap Audits Can Be with the Armstrong SAGE UMT® Automatic Trap Tester

Armstrong's SAGE UMT® eliminates human error and raises the quality of steam trap testing to a new level. Their state-of-the-art, automatic testing device makes it easy for any steam trap technician to survey your trap population quickly and accurately, on a regular basis. 

Armstrong's SAGE UMT®, used in conjunction with SAGE® Smart Steam System Management platform, is the most comprehensive and advanced trap management program in the industry.

Armstrong's SAGE UMT® syncs wirelessly to the SAGE® Mobile app on your iOS or Android mobile device. SAGE® Mobile then delivers your steam trap information directly to SAGE® Smart Utility System Management platform, eliminating the need to manually enter survey information or decipher illegible field notes.

The SAGE UMT® is just this easy to use:

• Scan a trap's RFID tag with SAGE UMT®; SAGE® Mobile automatically opens the details for that trap
• Press the stainless steel probe tip to the trap and press the test button
• Test progress will be visible on both SAGE UMT® and SAGE® Mobile
• When testing is complete, SAGE UMT® wirelessly transfers the temperature and acoustic information it has collected to SAGE® Mobile
• SAGE® Mobile analyzes the data received from SAGE UMT® using - Armstrong's proprietary, UNFCCC-approved, steam system efficiency methodology; based on the results, SAGE® Mobile assigns a condition to the trap
• SAGE® Mobile stores the trap's data, automatically pushing it to SAGE® - Smart Steam System Management platform
• SAGE® immediately uploads data to the cloud where it's protected by high-level security and automated backups
• Customers own their own data

Innerlynx® Modular Mechanical Seals

There's a faster way to seal pipes other than caulk, grout, or mastic. Innerlynx® modular mechanical seals are used in a systematic approach for installers to easily seal the annular space between the carrier pipe and the ID of a wall penetration.  Innerlynx® are also designed to absorb vibrations, shocks and sound waves and act as a sound dampener while electrically isolating the carrier pipe from the penetrated structure. 

Innerlynx® are made from synthetic rubber with industrial strength U.S. manufactured pressure plates and are available in more sizes than offered by any other U.S. manufacturer.  APS offers 21 different sizes for all pipe diameters ranging from 1/2" to 144" and form a hydrostatic seal up to 40 psig and up to 92.28 feet of head pressure.

OmniSeal® Double Block & Bleed/Double Isolation & Bleed Expanding Plug Valves

OmniSeal® expanding plug valves are designed for applications where positive shut-off, verifiable zero leakage and double block and bleed (DB&B) and or double isolation and bleed (DIB) capabilities are required.

They are ideal for a variety of applications including leased automated custody transfer (LACT), product metering, aviation fueling, product isolation, blend- ing, lockout/tagout (LOTO), multi-product manifolds, tank storage and other DB&B applications.

The OmniSeal® is a single valve solution that simultaneously blocks both the upstream and downstream flow while allowing the user to verify seal integrity using a manual or automatic body bleed system. It replaces older double block and bleed systems that use two valves with a spool and bleed valve in-between. OmniSeal® valves have exclusive features designed for better performance throughout the valve’s lifetime.

All OmniSeal® DB&B expanding plug valves are manufactured and monogrammed per API 6D and ISO 9001, fire tested per API 607 and API 6FA and have specific certifications such as CE/PED, CRN (Canadian Registration), TA-Luft or similar design or regional certifications where appropriate.
