G 1/2 pressure sensor for hygienic production plants

Ball valves for industrial applications

The robust G 1/2 pressure sensor is designed for use in hygienic applications.

Valve specialist GEMÜ is expanding and changing its product range of industrial ball valves. General applica- tions are covered by focusing on selected designs. All ball valves are designed for use in industrial ap- plications, predominantly in chemical engineering, water treatment, mechanical engineering, the processing in- dustry and in power generation and environmental sys- tems. GEMÜ ball valves are primarily used for the control and regulation of liquids. With a view to these industry-focused applications, GEMÜ has revised its range of shut-off valves in the form of ball valves made of metal. The new ball valve range is a further development of the well-known design trusted by users, and fulfils all current normative standards. In addition, the sealing concepts and installation-relevant features have been optimised as part of the update. These significant optimi- sations have been implemented in the new B series ball valves from GEMÜ. The range includes valves with one- two- and three- piece bodies, made of metal and available in various constructions to suit different applications.

The new PM15 pressure sensor from ifm has a unique flush sealing concept. This allows for hygienic integration of small ceramic-capacitive measuring cells in small pipes – in dosing and filling systems, for example – which was not previously possible. With a G 1/2 thread, the pressure sensor can be installed without requiring expensive adapters. Flush fitting makes it possible to use the sensor with viscous media and ensures optimum results in CIP processes. For each sensor a factory certificate is available at no cost and can be downloaded. On the process side, the PM15 pressure sensor is maintenance-free because it has no elastomer seal. The flush and robust ceramic measuring cell is resistant to pressure and vacuum shocks and to the impacts of abrasive substances. The sensor is resistant to medium temperatures of up to 150°C for a maximum of one hour. For more information contact ifm South Africa.
