Thermatel Model TD1/TD2 flow/level/interface switches provide a
new level of performance and reliability not found in previous
switches. Continuous diagnostics with fault indication,
temperature compensation, narrow hysteresis and fast response
time make the TD1/TD2 the latest in thermal dispersion switch
technology.
Measurement Principle:
The Thermatel sensor consists of two RTD elements. One is the
reference and the second is heated to a temperature above the
process temperature. The electronics detect the temperature
difference between the two elements. The temperature difference
is greatest in air, then decreases when cooling occurs due to a
change in media. An increase in the flow rate further decreases
the temperature difference.
The set point is adjusted for the switch to alarm at the desired
temperature difference. Once the set point is reached, the relay
will change state.
Features:
Temperature compensated to provide repeatable alarm under varying
process temperatures
Continuous diagnostics detect sensor fault
Non-linear mA output signal can be used for trending, diagnostics
and repeatable flow/level indication

Thermatel® TA2
Mass Flow Transmitter
Thermatel Model TA2 Thermal Mass Flow Transmitter provides
reliable mass measurement for air and gas flow applications. The
powerful, yet easy to use, electronics are contained in a compact
explosion proof enclosure. The TA2 is available with both
insertion probes as well as flow body design for smaller pipe
sizes. The TA2 offers excellent performance at an exceptional
value.
The TA2 offers the user the ability to verify calibration in the
field reducing the need for periodic recalibration.
Measurement Principle:
Thermatel Model TA2 mass flow transmitter measures mass flow by
detecting heat dissipation from a heated surface. The sensor
contains two mass balanced elements with precision matched RTDs.
The reference sensor measures the process temperature (up to
+400° F [+200° C]); the second RTD measures the temperature of
the heated sensor. The power to the heater is varied to maintain
a constant temperature difference above the reference
temperature.
There is an inherent non-linear relationship between power and
mass flow. The microprocessor in the TA2 compares the power
against the calibration curve and converts the power requirements
to the mass flow rate. Temperature is also measured to provide
temperature compensation of the mass flow over the operating
range of the instrument.

OSi's patented Optical Flow Sensor (OFS) makes drift-free measurements across the entire stack, duct or pipe diameter and calculates an accurate average flow reading. It is the only flow sensor that gives a true non-contacting cross-stack flow measurement of the process. The OFS uses our EPA Method 14 approved optical scintillation technology. The optical scintillation technique relies on advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) electronics to "see" and measure the movement of turbulence found in a gaseous flow stream to provide highly accurate, pathaveraged air velocity measurements. The accuracy of the OFS has been proven both in NIST’s wind tunnel and in numerous real-world installations.

We currently have a demo unit in stock and can come to your office for a demonstration.
The true power of the HAMILTON ARC family
HAMILTON has delivered quality products to laboratories for more
than 50 years, including products such as syringes, laboratory
devices, automation platforms and sensors.
In the world of process analytics, HAMILTON is known for sensors
(pH, oxygen, redox, and conductivity), and for its first-class
choice of process armatures, completed with their selection of
process connectors.
HAMILTON ARC revolutionizes the integration of sensors by
rethinking communication between sensors, end users and process
control systems. The functionality of a traditional transmitter
has been replaced by a microprocessor within the sensor. ARC
sensors bypass the transmitter and communicate directly to the
control system. Sensors are available in all standard pH,
dissolved oxygen and conductivity formats.
The bridge between process parameter and process
control
Three ARC concepts meet customer requirements from established
research and pilot labs to new production facilities and instal

Ultrasonic Streamflow Monitoring System
In this study, we developed a system of continuous accurate monitoring of streamflow, which is composed of a pair of ultrasonic Doppler velocity sensors installed on an existing low head broadcrested agricultural small dam. In case of using this dam, errors in computing area are minimized due to stability of it, so that discharge can be accurately measured. In addition, by direct measurement of velocity over dam crest, this system can measure discharge not only for modular flow in which free fall occurs, but also for submerged flow affected by downstream as far as depth and velocity are measured. Preliminary results for 15 dam release events display that discharge obtained by this system is in quite good agreement with dam release and with H-Q relationship. Comparison of volumetric discharge is also made and relative difference with dam discharge is 2.7%.
is a fixed-mount, transit-time ultrasonic flowmeter with clamp-on transducers for non-invasive liquid measurement. This device uses patented "fine time measurement technology", making use of ultrasonic beams that can measure at pico-seconds time intervals. This rapid array of measurements enables accurate, drift-free flow rate data in liquids that contain a second phase of entrained solids or gas bubbles. The use of DSP technology enables "Cross Correlation" of ideal signals to cancel extraneous noise signals, and create a three-dimensional cross section of the velocity distribution profile of the medium flowing through the pipe. DSP technology also enables the use of "FFT (Fast Fourier Transforms)" in order to generate the two signals at the same frequency; thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio for accurate, drift-free flow measurement in liquids.
