New developments in multiphase level detection
Magnetrol-AMETEK recently launched the Genesis™ Multiphase Level Detector introducing new develop- ments in detection, measurement and control. Multiphase level measurements are used across all process industries. They are especially significant in the oil & gas and petrochemical sectors due to the value derived from effectively separating water and hydrocarbon. Although level instrumentation has come a long way in measuring diverse liquids, multiphase level measure- ment remains a towering challenge and presents a con- siderable opportunity. The new Genesis™ Multiphase Level Detector incor- porates several significant engineering accomplishments and provides profiler performance at a competitive cost without the regulatory burdens and HSE concerns that typically come into play. It is designed to measure multiple phases in appli- cations with thick and dynamic emulsion layers: vapour phase, total level (for example, hydrocarbon liquid), top of emulsion layer, bottom of emulsion layer (for example, water level), sediment.
Key features of the new level detector include: - 24 V dc input with four (4) 4-20 mA outputs (including HART) for convenient control of total level, top of emulsion, water level, and sediment - Concurrent top-down and bottom-up signal generation - Proprietary, innovative software algorithms to interpret signals - Changing media characteristics have no effect on level measurement - No need to calibrate or move levels in the vessel - Four-button keypad and graphic LCD display allow for viewing of configuration parameters and performance curves - Proactive diagnostics to schedule maintenance and mitigate unplanned shutdowns - And more. Measuring dynamic conditions in difficult processes, such as de-salters and separators, can be done with Magnetrol’s Genesis™ Multiphase Level Detector.

Compact infrared camera for the metals industry
The Optris PI 1M IR camera, available from Instrotech, is especially suited to measuring the temperature of metals, as these exhibit a distinctly higher emissivity at the short measurement wavelength of 1μm than at measurements in the previously conventional wavelength range of 8 to 14 μm. The new infrared camera provides temperature meas- urement in an IR picture or IR video, which presents a lot of information, quickly captured in just one millisecond. The imaging sensors allow for a large dynamic range in temperature measurement, so there is no need for the relatively many and narrowly defined sub-ranges previ- ously required. With its two-dimensional temperature re- cording, the Optris PI 1M pyrometer enables intelligent temperature measurement.
It offers a temperature measurement range from 450 to 1 800°C and thus meets most demands in the fields of metal production and processing. The Optris PI 1M IR camera features: highly flexible CMOS detector with an optical resolution of up to 764 x 480 pixels, large temperature measurement range (with- out sub-ranges) of 450°C to 1 800°C, frame rates of up to 1 kHz for fast processes, real-time output of middle pixel at a set-up time of 1 ms, includes licence-free analysis software and full SDK.

Fast pressure control in industrial applications
automotive manufacturing – and can be used wherever speed and accuracy are needed, for example: in aerospace, aviation, pharmaceutical and power generation industries. It is available in high-pressure and low-pressure versions with customisable ranges, a 10:1 range limit ratio, and auto-ranging, so it can fit into most factories for end-of-line testing and sensor verification.
