Food / Pharmaceutical / Biotechnology

Manufacturers in food-processing, the pharmaceutical industry and bioengineering make similar quality demands on metrological devices. These demands can be combined under the collective name “hygienic design”. Hygienic design eccompasses all measures designed to avoid contamination and to ensure optimum cleanability.

LABOM devices for hygienic service are manufactured according to GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice) and comply with the standards of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the EHEDG(European Hygienic Equipment Design Group).

The properties listed below render LABOM measuring instruments suited for applications in food/pharmaceutical/biotechnology:

- materials: stainless steel 1.4404 or 1.4435 (316 L) upon request to BN2 (Basle standard) tantalum, monel, hastelloy or special FDA-approved coatings

- case easy to clean, dust-proof and hose-proof (protection IP 65 or IP 67)

- hygienic surfaces, electropolished upon request

- dead-zone free measuring with “Inline technology” for example

- aspetic process connections, suited for CIP or SIP cleaning

Chemical and petrochemical industry

Pressure and temperature measuring devices for applications in the chemical/petrochemical industry are subject to high requirements in relation to exterior service conditions as well as in relation to the medium to be measured (resistance). Furthermore special safety aspects have to be taken into consideration, for example for measurements in hazardous areas or measurements on aggressive substances.

LABOM measuring instruments have proven themselves with many years of service in plants in the chemical/petrochemical industry. Typically, we use stainless steel or high-grade materials (for example tantalum, hastelloy, nickel, PTFE). These materials provide excellent protection against corrosive media.

LABOM diaphragm seals are used for pressure measurements on aggressive media or at very high process temperatures. As one of the leading suppliers in the field of diaphragm seal technology we can also offer an “instrument made to measure” for the most difficult measurement tasks.

Similar problems have been encountered at temperature measuring points under difficult process conditions. LABOM thermowells made of a special material (with tantalum coating, for example) provide complete protection against the medium being measured. The LABOM pipe collar is used as an alternative to conventional immersion temperature measurement. It is mounted on the outside of the piping and has many important advantages, not only in relation to installation.

Power generation

LABOM measuring instruments carry out a host of different measurement tasks in the broad field of power engineering.

LABOM pressure and temperature transmitters in intrinsically safe design monitor underground gas accumulators in Emsland/Germany, take measurements reliably on offshore platforms in the North Sea under extreme environmental conditions and ensure adherence to safety process parameters in gas turbines and nuclear power plants.

LABOM pressure switches with construction type testing are used for pressure monitoring in oil- and gas-supply plants subject to prior authorization. A conformity certificate is required for connection to systems in Zone 0.

Water / Waste water

LABOM measuring instruments in water supply plants and in clarification plants are making a contribution to the protection of environment. Correct measurements not only cut costs, but serve to promote more economical use of fresh water resources and to reduce the use of chemicals in waste-water treatment.

The LABOM standard device in stainless steel and in robust construction with a high degree of protection against moisture is often a minimum requirement. Special materials such as titanium and special coatings are specified to avoid damage by corrosion.

LABOM measuring instruments are used under extreme conditions to monitor process parameters in sea water desalinization plants in Arabian countries for example. Not only the medium saline water, but also the particular external environmental conditions mean tough demands on materials and device operation.

LABOM submersible pressure transmitters are suitable for level measurement in swimming baths for example, when level have to be monitored with hydrostatic pressure measurement.

Shipping

Not only because we ourselves are located near the sea we are aware of the high requirements made by shipping on measuring devices.

LABOM devices have been “travelling” the high seas for many years now: they perform reliable measurement tasks in passenger ships, on tankers and in container vessels.
These devices have been designed as robust and reliable measuring facilities. Sea water is a very aggressive environment for metrological devices. In addition to solutions in stainless steel material no. 1.4571 (316 Ti), we offer special materials (stainless steel material no. 1.4462) and coatings (e.g. PTFE,PFA, synthetic resin).

Paints industry

A separate product family for the particular requirements of the paints industry has been established byLABOM.

The trend towards water-soluble paints, especially in the automotive industry, has given rise to new concepts for pressure and temperature measurement.

Besides the standard requirements such as dead-zone free measuring, special system fills and silicone-free designs have been developed by LABOM.

Electrical measuring instruments for spraying plants have been designed to ATEX for service in hazardous systems.
