FOCUS ONProcess Intrumentation & ControlA limit controiler that is suitedfor oven applicationsThis company has recently intro-duced the UT35A-L Limit Controller(photo), which is an FM-approved in-strument suited for oven, furnace andkiln applications. The UT35A-L canbe configured as a h igh or low limit. Itcomes standard with universal input,three alarm outputs and ret ransmis-sion output. There is also a timer forexceeded duration and a display formaximum temperature. RS485 andEthernet communications are avail-able as an option.

Sierra Instruments, Monterey, Califwww.s ierrainstruments . co inNew digital pressure gage offerssimple set up and readabilityThe PGIO Digital Pressure Gauge(photo) is an IP65-rated indoor/out-door gage featuring a 5.5-in. displaycasing, a full five-digit display withcharacters at 0.68-in. tall, and a 270-deg. digital "dial" or radial bar graphthat shows a user-selectahle pres-sure range from 0 to 100%. Standard

well as user-select-ahle units of mea-sure and an auto-off timer. The gagehas an operatingtemperature rangefrom 0 to 160F,boasts 0.25% accuracyof full scale, and featurespressure ranges fromvacuum to 500 psi, or0 to 10,000 psi. Data loggingprovides local access to the latest 60readings. These features and func-tions make the PGIO digital pressuregage well-suited for use in applica-tions where visibility, functionalityand stability are of primary concern. Automation Products Group, Inc.,Logan, Utahwww.apgsensors . comAn airflow conditioner that in-creases accuracyA new video demonstrates how theVortah VIP (Vortah Insertion Panel)Flow Conditioner (photo) can m aximizethe accuracy of air/gas flowmeter-mea-

straight-run requirements. Vortabtab-type flow conditioning technol-ogy greatly reduces line pressu re dropcompared to alternative technologies,such as tube bund les, screens and per-forated plates, says the manufacturer.Many flowmeter technologies requireseveral diameters of straight pipe runto provide the flow profile required foraccurate and repeatable m easurement.Most chemical process industries (CPI)plants, however, are rich with elbows,valves and tees. The Model VIP Inser-tion Panel Flow Conditioner's tab-typeplate design ne utralizes distorted flowprofiles caused by elbows, valves andtees that commonly occur in pipingand duct runs. The thin, lightweightpanel design of VIP is easily installedbetween flanges or can be welded inplace.
