+GF+ Signet Blind Transmitters Offer Low-Cost Options


Analog transmitters easily send process measurements from different areas in a plant to a central programmable logic controller (PLC) where process control decisions can be made based on transmitter feedback. Analog transmitters are great cost-saving alternatives to single-point controllers. In situations where multiple sensing locations are required, single point controllers’ costs can add up quickly. For OEMs measuring several parameters in their systems, transmitters feeding to a PLC are the norm.

GF Piping Systems has been at the forefront of transmitter evolution with Signet instrumentation. With standard 4-20mA-only option, relay outputs, and two channel devices, the Signet line of industrial transmitters gives the OEM/end-user a wide variety of choices. Mounting options have expanded to include integral, remote, and ¼ DIN panel mount displays.

For the OEM market, GF has added a Multi-Parameter Controller which provides up to six sensor inputs, four 4-20mA outputs, and relay outputs, in order to simplify and lower overall costs to the OEM. For customers using central touch-screen displays, another way to lower measurement costs is to return to basics with blind transmitters. The Signet 2537 sensor with 4-20mA option combines the stability and reliability of microprocessor-based transmitters along with reduced costs by eliminating unnecessary displays. Low-cost sensing options include: Paddlewheel Flow Magnetic Flow pH/ORP Conductivity/Resistivity Temperature Pressure

Decontaminating Fluid Syststemsn

Unwanted water, particulate and gaseous contamination in fluid systems can severely impact process efficiency and product quality. Utilizing the principles of mass transfer and vacuum dehydration, the Pall HVP series portable oil purifiers effectively and efficiently remove 100% of the free water and 80% to 90% (or more) of the dissolved water from the fluid system. They will also remove 100% of the free and entrained gases and up to 75% of the dissolved gases.

Highly efficient particulate removal can be achieved by using a single, Pall Ultipor III style element rated at Beta X(c) = 1,000, in accordance with ISO 16889. Cleanliness levels of ISO 16/14/12 (per ISO 4406:1999) or better are typical. The HVP employs a programmable logic controller (PLC), which monitors and sequences its operation. The PLC will automatically shut down the purifier in the event certain operating limits are exceeded and initiate the purifier diagnostic alarm and help screen. This will display all alarm conditions, probable cause of the alarm(s) and help screens that delineate corrective measures to rectify them. An in-line temperature/water sensor is mounted at the inlet of the purifier, which continuously monitors fluid temperature and water content. It provides both local and remote monitoring capabilities and can be programmed with various alarm points for temperature and water content.

These units are very portable and easy to install. They only require an inlet and outlet connection to the fluid system and the appropriate power source – 480v/3Ph/60Hz. There are no water or compressed-air line connections required. They will reduce system wear; improve on-line and system performance; extend fluid life; and reduce fluid disposal costs and environmental risks.
