(NewTek Sensor Solutions: Pennsauken, NJ) -- Major chemical companies are using hazardous location position sensors from NewTek Sensor Solutions to monitor the state of different valves throughout their plants as part of process safety and efficiency management.

Chemical plants using potentially explosive substances in their processes utilize different valves to control flow. Operators constantly monitor valve performance to determine whether they are operating to specifications for optimal efficiencies. NewTek’s HL-750 Intrinsically Safe Position Sensors monitor valve position in the harsh and hazardous environments of chemical plants, providing highly accurate displacement feedback to determine whether valves are properly opened/closed, leaking, or even failed.
