Model SuperC AMF

Simple, efficient solution for complex analytical requirements

The SuperC AMF is a fully automated multi-element analyzer that allows the precise quantification of multiple impurities (one element at a time) in gas, LPGs and low-pressure samples. Robust and reliable, it can detect ultra-low levels of impurities in polymer-grade ethylene, propylene and light... Read more...

AutomationDirect has added Wenglor weFlux2 insertion-style flow sensors which measure flow velocity and temperature using a single probe for closed-pipe systems. By eliminating the need for a separate temperature sensor, they reduce installation and wiring complexity, as well as overall system cost. Operating on the calorimetric measuring principle, they detect changes in heat dissipatio... Read more...

O’Keefe Controls Co. Pneumatic Float Valves effectively solve the need for accurate, non-electrical level control. Especially useful in environments where risk of explosion is a factor, they are suitable for a wide variety of liquids. Read more...
