Many industrial pipelines are exposed to the elements and must face tough environmental conditions, including humidity, and temperature and climate variations―often including heavy frost in the winter and long hot spells in the summer. The electronic equipment used in conjunction with these pipelines must also face these same demanding environments.
Georg Fischer offers pipes and system solutions for the safe transport of liquids and gases, lightweight casting components in vehicles, and high-precision manufacturing. The company manufactures a product for its control systems range that has an extremely large display, the Signet 9900 transmitter. This unit is used to measure and monitor fluid and gas media through a single-channel interface for sensors like flow, pH/ORP, conductivity/resistance, pressure, temperature, filling level, and salinity. It can be integrated into a control cabinet or installed in the field for use in a variety of applications, including media filtration, wastewater treatment, and chemical production. Due to the transmitter’s dimensions of 99 x 99 mm, information can be read at up to four or five times the distance of conventional transmitters, reducing the risk of incorrect readings or misinterpretation of the displayed values.
