ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION

Driving IIoT forward Endress+Hauser is driving IIoT forward through innovative prod- ucts and solutions as well as by working with partners. This dedica- tion has been proven twice – winning the Digital Champion Award and presenting a new digital platform at the German Digital Sum- mit. The advantages of digitalisation in the process industry can already be seen clearly. Increased networking opens up new op- portunities in process optimisation and increases plant efficiency. Digital Champion 2017 With Memosens, Endress+Hauser introduced a pioneering sensor technology for liquid analysis in various industries such as chemical, power and energy, food and beverage and waterand& wastewater over 10 years ago. Memosens sensors measure the pH-value in liquids, for example, and transform it into a digital signal while still in the sensor. The data is then passed on via a contactless system and provides extremely accurate, reproducible and reliable measure- ment results. Furthermore, the technology combines high process and data security with simple handling: it can withstand corrosion and moisture, can be calibrated in the laboratory and enables pre- dictive maintenance. Endress+Hauser’s Memosens was presented with the Digital Champion Award in the category Digital Products and Services in June 2017.

At the Digital Summit Endress+Hauser demonstrated its commitment through its work with partners: the company created a platform through which data can be exchanged together with BASF, SAP, Pepperl+Fuchs and SAMSON. This was presented for the first time at the Digital Summit of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Technology in June 2017.

An IRThermometer that takes heat, dust, water… And a 3 m drop!

• Hi and Lo alarms for rapid display of measurements outside set limits • The 62 MAX+ has dual rotating lasers to help identify area to be measured. The measurement area is the spot between the dots (62 MAX and 64 MAX have one) Enquiries:Tel. +27 (0) 10 595 1821 or email sales@comtest.co.za

± 1°C or ± 1% of reading whichever is greater with 20:1 distance to spot ratio (64MAX) • Flashlight (64MAX) and large, easy-to- read backlit LCD display for easy view- ing even in dark environments • IP54 rated for extra protection against airborne contaminants • Set time and desired interval between measurements and Auto Capture will capture spot temperatures unattended (64MAX) • 99 data point logging (64 MAX) • Displays the minimum, maximum or average temperature, or the difference between two measurements

Fluke, represented locally by Comtest , has just launched the Fluke 64 MAX IR thermometer with internal memory, un- attended monitoring, improved accuracy, increased battery life, as well as the pre- cision needed to do the job accurately. Designed and tested to survive a three metre drop, this lightweight, compact in- frared thermometer works in the harshest of environments and even when unattend- ed. Applications include industrial mainte- nance, electrical and HVAC industries. The Fluke 64 MAX IR features: • Precise laser technology for more accu- rate and repeatable measurements • Temperature accuracy of up to t 0°C:

Measure residual chlorine without chemical reagents

cost makes the Q46H your best choice for chlorine monitor- ing applications in potable water, wastewater, cooling water, or high purity water systems • Automatic pH Compensation: For free chlorine monitoring un- der widely varying pH conditions, automatic pH compensation may be added to maintain the highest measurement accuracy at pH levels up to 9,5 • Dual Chlorine/pH Monitoring: Even when pH correction is not re- quired, adding a pH sensor to the system converts the monitor to a dual analyser, providing 4-20 mA outputs for both chlorine and pH Enquiries: Email shelaghw@nz.co.za

ATI ’s monitors provide long term accuracy and reliability for your chlorine monitoring needs and are economical to purchase and economical to maintain. ATI’s Residual Chlorine Monitor helps you achieve optimal disinfection and minimal chlorine dosing by meas- uring residual chlorine on-line. A unique advantage of the system is that no chemical reagent is required. This substantially reduces the running costs of chemicals and servicing. • Free or Combined Chlorine: Q46H monitors are factory set for either Free or Combined Chlorine measurement, but can easily be converted from one to the other in the field • Economical Operation: Reagent-less operation and low parts
