Abstract: A multi-sensor mounting system and method includes a secondary pipe and an adapter. The secondary pipe comprises a fastening device configured to fix the secondary pipe to the process pipe, and a valve that is switchable between an open state and a closed state. The adapter detachably connects a sensor module to the secondary pipe. The valve allows a sensing probe of the sensor module being inserted into the process pipe in the open state, and to block a fluid flow in the secondary pipe in the closed state, for example, for times when the sensing probe is removed from the secondary pipe.

Abstract: A measuring instrument with a human-machine interface comprising a visual display and selection means associated with the visual display, a method to configure using the visual display and a plurality of selectors or buttons, and a computer program and graphic user interface for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A measuring and evaluating device for the analysis of gases is described. The device has an exchangeable gas analyzer, which is of small dimensions. The gas analyzer is a module connected directly from the outside to a central unit, which is likewise of small dimensions and into which at least one evaluating unit and a display unit are integrated. Fitted releasably into the gas analyzer are one or more plates, into which at least one separating channel is respectively integrated. Each gas analyzer is provided with at least one sample injector, which can be connected to at least one separating channel. At least one detector is connected downstream of each separating channel.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus tests liquids. When the method is implemented, following a reaction of constituents in the liquid with the maximum quantity at least of one free oxidizing agent and/or reagent contained in the liquid, the quantity of oxidizing agent and/or reagent remaining in the liquid is displayed visually as a measure of the quantity of constituents in the liquid reacting with the oxidizing agent and/or reagent. For implementing the method, use is made of a sensor that is configured as a sheet-like structural element and is provided with at least one inlet opening, a sample-accommodating channel, a mechanical pump, a transporting capillary, a detection zone, an emptying channel, and an outlet opening.

Abstract: A device for the investigation of liquids, in particular of waste water, includes at least one reaction chamber for receiving the liquid to be investigated as well as liquids for analysis from storage containers. The reaction chamber is disposed in a housing while the storage containers are accommodated within the housing or are set up outside. The housing may be positioned in a freely floating manner within the liquid to be investigated or may be set up outside.
