Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that it will release the DTSX®3000 distributed temperature sensor on August 12. With a one meter spatial resolution, this distributed temperature sensor can measure the temperature along fiber-optic cables up to 50 km in length, eight times the distance possible with our previous model. In terms of measurement distance and temperature resolution, this is one of the industry’s top-performing distributed temperature sensors.
The DTSX3000 is well suited for plant and infrastructure maintenance applications that necessitate the monitoring of temperature over long distances or across wide areas. Specific applications include the detection of gas and liquid leaks in tanks and other large production facilities, and the detection of abnormal heat levels in power lines.
Development Background:
Yokogawa currently sells the DTSX®200 distributed temperature sensor for use in applications that include the monitoring of temperatures in unconventional oil and gas wells, the detection of leaks of high- or low-temperature liquids and gasses from pipelines or tanks, and the detection of abnormal heat buildup in coal and wood chip conveyors. In contrast to conventional techniques that rely on the use of multiple surveillance cameras or thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors, distributed temperature sensors can be easily routed along the course of any object that requires management. Their temperature readings can be displayed on a computer monitor, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly spot and respond to any problems.
With its long measurement distance and high temperature resolution, the DTSX3000 meets the needs of those for a single device that is capable of detecting minute temperature changes and monitoring the temperature distribution over a long distance or across a wide area.

The rugged, reliable KOBOLD DF series paddle wheel flow sensor is available in seven material combinations allowing it to be used with low-viscosity, water-based liquids as well as with more aggressive chemicals. The DF is supplied as standard with an NPN pulse frequency output. Its compact size, combination of various materials and cost-effective price make the DF the ideal flow sensor for many industrial and OEM applications.
Moore Industries has eliminated the problem of getting accurate temperature readings in remote locations while also accessing valuable Smart HART® data. Moore Industries THZ WirelessHART® Temperature Solution combines a rugged battery-powered HART temperature transmitter with the BULLET WirelessHART Adapter by MACTek. It transmits temperature measurements and critical HART diagnostic information to a WirelessHART gateway - even if power is not readily available.
Magnetrol POLARIS is an electromagnetic flow meter that is capable of measuring liquids with a conductivity as low as 5 µS/cm in closed pipes. It is an accurate and repeatable flow meter that is suitable for a variety of water based and sludge flow applications. The Polaris transmitter is backlit and rotatable with the capability of measuring forward and reverse flow rates as well as total volume. HART® capability allows the use of PACTware™ for configuration and diagnostics. The sensor can be flanged or wafer style and is available with an assortment of standard liners and electrode materials.
The OMYL-T15 single channel and OMYL-T16 dual channel thermocouple input data loggers are new low-cost battery powered thermocouple data loggers with integral reference junction which delivers accurate readings over a wide temperature range. These data loggers are fully user programmable for Types J, K, T, E, R, S, B and N thermocouples and are available with standard memory of 100,000 readings (OMYL-T15, OMYL-T16) or expanded memory of 4 million readings (OMYL-T15-4M, OMYL-T16-4M). These devices are programmable so that you can log data from either one or two channels.
