Overview

How can the water content of plants’ leaves or the elasticity of very soft tissues or the fouling of membranes be determined in a completely non-invasive way? Non-contact ultrasonic spectroscopy is the answer. Originally intended as a “non-destructive evaluation” technique, recent developments are generating unexpected applications with unmatched results.

Overview

Coriolis flowmeters are fast becoming the meter of choice for liquids and gasses. Most will also measure density, concentration, and viscosity of many fluids. With exceptional accuracy and digital communications such as Ethernet/IP, all the measurement parameters and diagnostics can be configured and accessed anywhere there is a network. Learn More

Overview

Error-proofing a manufacturing process can be quick and easy. It starts by identifying trouble spots, then implementing a detection method and finally establishing a process to handle the discrepancy. This presentation will address detection through the use of sensors as well as a methodology for handling discrepancies.
