Memosens - Intelligent Sensors

The new Memosens sensor family is the Endress+Hauser highlight at the INTERKAMA 2004. Sensors with Memosens technology are the first sensors to allow saving of important, process-relevant data directly in the sensor. Inductive, bi-directional data transfer between sensor and transmitter guarantees interference-free measuring signals and extremely easy sensor handling.

Automated Retractable Assemblies

Installing or removing sensors from plants without interrupting the process, even at process pressures of up to 10 bar and more, requires specially developed retractable assemblies. These assemblies are fully automated but are subject to very high requirements when it comes to leak-tightness and process safety. Retractable assemblies are specially developed and designed for a number of applications.

Save money with automatic pH measuring points

The latest generation of automatic pH measuring points have brought pH measurement into a completely new cost range. pH sensors had previously been considered costly to operate as the electrode had to be regularly serviced, cleaned, calibrated and even replaced. That is now all a thing of the past. A cost comparison between automatic and manual pH measuring points is thus worth the effort. Two representative case studies are presented here. The two cases describe different drivers to cost. On the one hand we have high servicing costs because of the high demand for calibration and cleaning, and on the other hand there are high replacement costs because of the frequent requirement to replace the pH electrode. In conclusion, an Excel program that is universally applicable to the calculation of pH measuring point costs is explained.

Quality in Electrode Production

Formerly, pH glass electrodes were mainly hand-produced products whose components were improved more by trial and error in prolonged experiments rather than by concerted efforts. Conducta took a different path and can now obtain extremely high-performance and reliable electrodes in a short time. Firstly, development started to operate systematically by drafting a requirements profile and applying optimisation strategies. Secondly, production was automated in gradual steps that were primarily determined by quality. Finally, a demonstrative, automated final test was introduced together with a number of random tests performed during production.
