Measurement and control of the lowest liquid flow quantities

To optimise measurement and control accuracy for low liquid volumes, Coriolis sensors are often the prime technology choice. Providing a true mass flow reading with accuracy down to ±0.2%, these devices are also highly repeatable. Coriolis technology is suited to applications that must ensure precise flow control, whether to meet quality requirements in food & beverage products or maximise efficacy of a medicine. However, high accuracy over low liquid volumes can also save costs long term when expensive media is involved.

New coils increase solenoid valve energy efficiency by 80%

New coil technology for solenoid valves can increase energy efficiency by up to 80%. Bürkert’s Kick and Drop valve coils save significant cost by reducing energy use and extending service life. The increased efficiency also optimises environmental sustainability. With a low maximum operating temperature, the coils enhance safety and remove the potential of electrical overheating. The 3-in-1 design, covering various voltage inputs, also streamlines inventory management.

Next generation accuracy for microfluidic control

Accurate microfluidic dosing is essential for life science and genomics research, as well as the administration of medical care. For OEMs developing microfluidic dosing machines, accurate valve control ensures precise results. However, to specify the optimum valve system, consideration over criteria from material compatibility to manifold integration is vital to ensure repeatable accuracy.
