  New from VEGA  -  Vibrating fork level switch with massive pressure and temperature range
VEGASWING 66 is a world first. It extends the product portfolio of VEGA by a vibrating level switch for liquids. It switches reliably in application with process temperature from -196 °C to +450 °C and pressure from 0 to 160 bar. The application range of VEGASWING 66 extends from distillation columns in the oil and gas industry, to high and low water limits in steam boilers, to cryogenic applications in gas tanks for LNG and nitrogen.

  The new MC-1210 multifunction calibrator
This multifunction calibrator provides a feature set unmatched in high accuracy, hand-held calibrators in its price range. The MC-1210 multi function calibrator provides the functions and accuracy associated with fixed-installation, laboratory instrument, and has everything needed for virtually any calibration tasks. Measure and source thermocouples, RTDs, current, voltage, and frequency, and source pulse trains. A communications port compatible with both Fluke® 700 Series and Beta Calibrators pressure modules is provided, as is an isolated mA/V read-back circuit. Arrow keys, direct numeric keypad entry, and three software driven function buttons, plus a large backlit, menu-driven graphics display combine to provide a highly intuitive, simple yet powerful operator interface. Built-in 250 Ohm resistor for HART compatibility, compatibility with smart transmitters and PLCs and full fuseless protection, are just some of the additional features that make the process calibrator the single most indispensable tool available for virtually any calibration task. This multifunction calibrator is supplied in a tough, rubber boot; a carrying case is also available as an option.
  ALICAT mass flow meter used for ballooning into space!
Just over a year ago, Alicat Instruments donated a portable mass flow meter with totalizer to a STEM-focused high-altitude ballooning project called FAST: Flying Apple Space Technologies. HAB teams commonly use weights on the ground to measure the lifting force of the gas within the balloon, but this method is inconvenient and inaccurate. Balloon filling must be stopped while taking weight measurements, and this must be done indoors to escape the constantly changing forces of shifting winds at the launch site. Knowing that calculating the amount of lift was simple if the amount of gas added to the balloon could be measured, the team began looking for a solution. Alicat were excited to be able to provide them with their solution: We donated to the team a 1500-slpm portable mass flow meterwith totaliser.
