TECO: A Stocking ABB Rotameter National Distributor
TECO's relationship with ABB rotameters dates back to 1947 as the first firm to represent and sell the Fischer & Porter Rotameters (as they were known back then). TECO is your best source for rotameters, with many models in stock, and decades of application assistance. ABB rotameters are simple, low cost, and maintenance free. TECO's specialty is helping customers choose the right instrument for their application. TECO offers standard flow ranges as well as custom flow ranges sized to our customer’s unique flow environment.

The ifm LR2750 Continuous Level Sensor for Sanitary Applications
The ifm LR2750 level sensor provides precise, reliable medium detection in sanitary water-based applications, resistance of turbulence and suppression of foam.
Featuring innovative guided wave radar (GWR) for level measurement, the LR2750 uses a probe to guide high frequency, low-energy pulses of electromagnetic waves from a transmitter down the probe into the media being measured in the tank.
The LR2750 can be adapted to many sanitary process connections. It is ideal for smaller tanks or in areas with limited space. The LR2750 offers different probe lengths up to 2M, and the probe can also be cut to length.
Top product features:

Top product features:
- COP (Clean Out of Place) design with IP69K rating for use in sanitary applications
- Foam and turbulence suppression technology resists signal errors common with GWR
- Constructed from FDA approved 316L stainless steel, PEEK, and Viton wetted parts.
- Excellent performance in high temperature operating ranges of up to 302 °F (150 °C).
- Digital LED display with easy push-button programming
- IO-Link-enabled for network digital communication or configuration with a PC
The Coriolis Effect: Understanding How Coriolis Flowmeters Work
The Coriolis effect, a derivative of Newtonian motion mechanics, describes the force resulting from the acceleration of a mass moving to (or from) the center of rotation. As this video demonstrates, the flowing water in a loop of flexible hose that is “swung” back and forth in front of the body with both hands. Because the water is flowing toward and away from the hands, opposite forces are generated and cause the hose to twist. Coriolis flowmeters apply this principle to measure fluid flow. To learn more about the Coriolis effect and how Coriolis flowmeters work, read this earlier post (http://blog.teco-inc.com/2017/01/understanding-coriolis-flow-measurement.html).
