LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will highlight its new gas density
sensor at POWDERMET2019, the International Conference on
Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials, to be held
June 23-26 in Phoenix. The new sensor has been helping heat
treaters achieve production efficiencies in a variety of
furnaces for hydrogen concentration measurement on the hot zone and
cooling zone for nitrogen-hydrogen atmospheres.
Air Products' innovative gas density sensor continuously
measures the hydrogen percentage of the furnace atmosphere,
enabling heat treaters to optimize the hydrogen concentration
needed to produce quality parts. By continuously measuring and
controlling the furnace atmosphere, the sensor also helps heat
treaters reduce costs and comply with regulatory requirements and
industry standards, such as NADCAP and CQI-9.
With its compact design, Air Products' gas density sensor can be
installed in minutes in-situ or in sampling lines together with
other sensors. The sensor also allows for additional capabilities,
such as process advisor, local alarms on upset process conditions,
and predictive maintenance.
Metals processors are invited to stop by Air Products' booth 207
to speak with a knowledgeable representative about their specific
furnace operation needs. In addition to gases, equipment, and
technology solutions, Air Products' technical specialists can
provide applications knowledge and consulting services for a
variety of processes, including powder production, sintering, heat
treating, inerting, and additive manufacturing.
With laboratories in Allentown,
Pa., Air Products can perform metals processing research and
applications development, as well as testing for simulating,
troubleshooting and optimizing customer operations. Frequently used
work tools include heat treating furnaces with a wide variety of
atmospheres, metallurgical examinations, atmosphere analyses,
thermodynamic equilibrium and diffusional calculations, as well as
computational fluid dynamics modeling. Air Products provides
customer support for ongoing operational efficiency, product
quality improvements, and new process development projects.
