Air velocity flow sensors measure air velocity or volume flow using insertion probes or capture hoods.
Analog pressure gauges are mechanical devices that include bellows, Bourdon tubes, capsule elements and diaphragm element gauges.
Annunciators and graphic display panels disclose the layout and annunciate the status and measurement parameters of industrial processes, security and fire alarms of buildings and manufacturing facilities, power distribution networks, and other operations.
Ball valves provide tight shut-off and characterizable control. They have high rangeability due to the design of the regulating element, without the complications of side loads typical of butterfly or globe valves.
Butterfly valves control flow through a circular disc or vane by turning the valve's pivot axis at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe. They are normally used as throttling valves to control flow.
Check valves are self-activating safety valves that permit gases and liquids to flow in only one direction, preventing process flow from reversing. They are classified as one-way directional valves. 
Control valves or proportional valves are power-operated devices used to modify fluid flow or pressure rate in a process system.
Data acquisition is the digitizing and processing of multiple sensor or signal inputs for the purpose of monitoring, analyzing and/or controlling systems and processes. Signal conditioning includes the amplification, filtering, converting, and other processes required to make sensor output suitable for rereading by computer boards.
Data loggers and data recorders acquire digital data from sensors and other signals. They are primarily used to store data for subsequent downloads to a host PC, but may also include real-time features such as monitors and alarms.
Diaphragm seals are isolation devices that separate a pressure instrument from the process media.
Digital panel meters measure and display processes and electrical variables via an alphanumeric digital readout.
Flow meters (flowmeters) and flow sensors are devices used for measuring the flow rate or quantity of a moving fluid or gas.
Flow orifices and flow restrictors contain precision-machined holes and filters or screens to restrict flow and reduce pressure. They are available as stand-alone devices and in kits, assemblies, restrictors, and restrictor valves.
Gate valves and knife valves are linear motion valves in which a flat closure element slides into the media stream to shut off flow.
Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded bodies, from which their name is derived.  They are widely used in industry to regulate fluid flow in both on/off and throttling service. 
Industrial thermometers are basic bulb style thermometers designed for use in many industrial applications.  Traditional liquid-in-glass design is typically used due to low cost and ease of use.
Industrial valves are classified in many different ways. They can be distinguished by material of construction, media handled, and/or application.
Level controllers monitor, regulate, and control liquid or solid levels in a process.
Level gauges are industrial meters used to determined the level of a liquid in a fixed storage or process tank
Level sensors are used to detect liquid or powder levels, or interfaces between liquids. There are two basic level-measurement types: continuous and point or multi-point.
Level switches, all types, is a generic search form for devices that are used to detect liquid or powder levels, or interfaces between liquids. These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action.
Level transmitters or level transducers are used to measure the level of a liquid or bulk solid material (as well as slurries) within a specified space. For each measurement, they provide an electrical output that is proportional to the input level.
A mass flow meter is a device that consist of a mass flow sensor or transducer and signal processing electronics.  Fluid (liquid or gas) flow is measured in mass rate units (lbs/min).
Mixing valves combine the flow of two or more inlets into a single outlet for applications such as temperature and concentration control.
Paddlewheel flow meters have a paddle wheel that is perpendicular to the flow path. The rotor axis is positioned to limit contact between the paddles and the flowing media.
Positive displacement flow meters measure the volume or flow rate of a moving fluid or gas by dividing the media into fixed, metered volumes. These devices consist of a chamber that obstructs the media flow and a rotating or reciprocating mechanism that allows the passage of fixed-volume amounts.
Pressure gauges are used for a variety of industrial and application-specific pressure monitoring applications.  Uses include visual monitoring of air and gas pressure for compressors, vacuum equipment, process lines and specialty tank applications such as medical gas cylinders and fire extinguishers.
Pressure regulators are used to maintain a constant outlet pressure or flow.
Pressure relief valves are self-actuated safety valves designed to relieve excess pressure upstream from the line.
Pressure sensors include all sensors, transducers and elements that produce an electrical signal proportional to pressure or changes in pressure.
Pressure switches are actuated by a change in the pressure of a liquid or gas.  They activate electromechanical or solid-state switches upon reaching a specific pressure level.
Pressure transmitters translate the low level output of a sensor or transducer to a higher level signal suitable for transmission to a site where it can be further processed. These devices include pressure sensors, transducers, elements, and instruments.
Sensor transmitters are measurement or signal conditioning packages that provide a standard, calibrated output from a sensor or transducer in the form of a current loop output (e.g., 4-20 mA).
Sight flow indicators provide a quick, reliable and economical way to verify the flow of fluids through industrial process lines.
Solenoid valves are devices that use a solenoid to control valve activation.
Strainers are placed in-line with process piping to remove large solid contaminants from the flow.  Strainers can be cleaned and reused.
Temperature controllers accept inputs from temperature sensors or thermometers, and then output a control signal to keep the temperature at the desired level.
Temperature instruments use contact or noncontact methods to measure temperature. Products include dial, digital, industrial and laboratory thermometers; temperature probes, indicators, and sensors; RTD elements and transmitters; and thermistors, thermocouples, thermopiles, and thermal switches. 
Temperature probes are used in various temperature sensing applications. Technology options include thermocouple, RTD, thermistor and solid state style probes.
RTD temperature probes convert the RTD resistance measurement to a current signal, eliminating the problems inherent in RTD signal transmission via lead resistance. 
Resistance temperature detector (RTD) temperature transmitters convert RTD resistance measurements to current signals, eliminating the problems inherent in RTD signal transmission via lead resistance.
Thermocouple temperature transmitters convert the small millivolt output of a thermocouple to a current signal (typically 4-20 mADC) that is immune to noise and voltage drops over a long distance.
Thermocouple temperature probes are bimetallic style probes used for various temperature sensing applications.
Thermostats and thermal switches are electro-mechanical on/off switches that are activated by temperature changes. They are typically used to control heating and cooling systems.
Turbine flow meters measure the rate of flow in a pipe or process line via a rotor that spins as the media passes through its blades.
Valve position indicators are devices that show the position of the closure element.
Vortex flow meters are flow sensors that detect the frequency of vortices shed by a bluff body placed in a flow stream. The frequency of the vortices is proportional to the flow velocity.
