SONOTEC® launches industrial clamp-on flow meter for plastic tubes and pipes for the use in hazardous areas of Zone 1 according to ATEX/IECEx |
 |
|
The new SEMIFLOW Ex1 Set opens a new product category of
intrinsically safe ultrasonic flow sensors with control gear for
non-contact liquid flow measurement on small and midsize rigid plastic
tubes to ensure safe operation in hazardous areas. SEMIFLOW CO.66 PI Ex1
sensors are protected against explosion hazard by gases, vapors, and
liquids according to the gas group IIB. The device protection level
(EPL) is "Gb" for the use in Zone 1 according to ATEX/IECEx.
The Barrier Box ST Ex1 is used to limit the energy supplied to the
SEMIFLOW flow sensors to avoid ignition according to IEC 60079-11
(ATEX/IECEx). The device provides all necessary power and data
interfaces to the operators outside the Ex-Zone and allows the
intrinsically safe SEMIFLOW to be used in hazardous areas with possible
fire or explosion risks due to explosive gas atmospheres (Zone 1, Group
IIB).
SEMIFLOW FLOW METERS ARE SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED IN DIFFERENT SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSES
The sensors specialized for the use in hazardous areas of Zone 1 according to ATEX/IECEx are based on the successful SEMIFLOW series. With their robust industrial design, SEMIFLOW flow meters are specifically designed for highly accurate and contactless flow and volume measurement of abrasive, adherent, corrosive, and ultra-pure liquids as applied in single wafer cleaning, lithography and mixing equipment, chemical supply systems, and slurry lines. The compact sensors impress with their innovative clamp-on architecture to eliminate any risks of contamination and leakages. Hence, the flow meters can easily integrate into existing architectures without the hassle of system downtimes. SEMIFLOW sensors are available in eight different sensor sizes for a wide range of tube sizes. They are ideally suited for PFA, PTFE, and other hard plastic tubes and pipes.
SONOTEC® HAS BEEN CONDUCTING BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN NON-CONTACT ULTRASONIC FLOW MEASUREMENT DEVICES FOR DECADES
The development of SEMIFLOW sensors benefits from decades of experience in designing non-contact ultrasonic flow sensors for highly sensitive applications in biopharma as well as for medical devices with strict regulations addressing specific safety aspects. Thus, certain sensor performance features such as highly accurate real-time instantaneous flow measurements of up to 400 L/min, the implementation of a volume-totalizer, a broad range of standard industrial interfaces, and the expertise in handling a wide range of tubing properties and geometries could be successfully adopted to the SEMIFLOW sensor range.

Weiss Technik UK Ltd provides secure cold storage of Coronavirus vaccine
Loughborough, 23rd November 2020 - The UK
government has secured 40 million doses of the new Pfizer/BioNTECH
vaccine. Once available, the vaccine doses will have to be transported
and stored at -70 °C. This requires an uninterrupted cold chain. As a
long-standing partner of the pharmaceutical industry and specialist for
extreme temperatures, Weiss Technik UK Ltd offers suitable storage
solutions for this.

Case Study: Cmed’s Mobile Data Management Solution
Cmed Clinical Services
The trial presented to Cmed was a randomized, double blinded, placebo
and active controlled study to evaluate the cardiac safety of multiple
doses of [study drug] in health volunteers.
The pharmaceutical
company, who were into the second year of development of a potential
blockbuster compound for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukaemia
(CML), were requested by the FDA to design a trial to provide
information on the cardiac safety of different dose levels of the study
drug in healthy adult volunteers. The primary objective of the study was
specifically to find the maximum tolerated dose before QTc levels
became unsafe. All development of the compound was put on hold until the
results of this study were submitted to the FDA and approval granted
for the compound to progress into full development.
