New Submersible Level Sensor
KTE6000CS with Extremely Rugged Stainless Steel Housing |
| |
 |
Sensortechnics’ new KTE6000CS series offers level measurement for
ranges from 2.5 m water column (250 mbar) Full Scale. KTE6000CS
hydrostatic pressure transmitters consist of highly accurate and
long-term stable pressure sensor elements. |
|
|
The sensor is enclosed in a very rugged stainless steel housing with
increased wall thickness to withstand even severe operating conditions.
All KTE6000CS level probes are temperature compensated and supply a
4...20 mA output signal. A special cable with an integrated vent tube
allows a true reference pressure to the sensor element, which eliminates
errors due to barometric pressure changes. Custom specific calibrations,
voltage outputs and different cable lengths are available on request.

Easy fit – Brass Flow switch |
| |
 |
Gentech “easy fit” flow switch is designed to reduce the time to
fit and prepare the pipe work without compromising the pressure seal.
Without the usual coupling and sealing components: compression fittings
or a threaded connection, all that is required is a simple push-fit to
insert the 22mm copper pipe. |
|
|
The FS13 and the FS14 version of the Gentech flow switch family
has a brass housing and noryl internal components, the robust
construction is ideal for a range of applications from domestic boiler
heating systems to industrial circulating pumping systems or liquid
dispensing applications. With the sensor connected and mounted
vertically in the pipe work, the switch will operate with a liquid
flowing at a rate of <1litre per minute and maximum working pressure
rating of the flow switch is 10bar @ 20oC... |

LEM introduces very
compact transducer for high AC and DC currents |
| |
 |
LEM has introduced a family of current
transducers that combines Hall effect technology and a signal
conditioner in a compact case to offer dramatic savings in size (up to
75% compared to other current transducers) for measuring nominal
currents up to 1000A true RMS. These new transducers measure only 90 x
70 x 34mm. |
|
|
The DHR series
has been designed to measure DC signals as well as distorted current
waveforms such as variable frequency drive (VFD) outputs. Additional
features include the choice of primary current measuring ranges from
100A to 1000A, choice of output options (4-20mA, 0-5V or 0-10V), a wide
power supply range (24 to 50 VDC) and a large sensing aperture (32 mm)
for non-contact measurement ... |

Calibration to BS ... enable the CCD load cells to be used as
reference standards |
| |
The CCD range of high capacity compression load cells
from Applied Measurements are now available with an accuracy of 0.1%
enabling them to be used as reference standards. Calibration to BS EN
ISO376 Grade 1 and Grade 0.5 have enabled this range of load cells to be
used as reference standards for on-site load cell calibration and
verification. The standard range of CCD load cells are manufactured to
an accuracy of 0.25% for general commercial force measurement and
weighing applications, design changes including increasing the height
improve the accuracy to better than 0.1%. A comprehensive range of
analogue and digital instrumentation is available to enable complete
ready to use calibrated and certified systems be supplied. The ISO376
calibration can be for the load cell on its own or with any of our range
of instrumentation. |

Potentiometers with self
diagnostic capabilities |

Still CP
Potentiometer used for position sensing have the highest proportion in
accordance of the number of used products. With its special, robust
conductive plastic layer and intelligent layouts, The Metallux
conductive plastic sensors match the high requirements for reliability. |

Arranging
sensors as redundant systems or systems with diagnostic possibilities –
with no extra costs. In using redundant potentiometer tracks dust in the
sensor system can be detected. integrated endresistors detect broken
wires or failure in the wiper or wiper force and surge resistors have
the function to save the sensor in case of short circuit. |

Self-controlled heater in
polymer technology integrated in a potentiometer |
| |
 |
Electronic
components such as sensors and actuators are frequently subject to
changes in temperatures. Especially fork lifts trucks being used in
cooled warehouses or sensors in building technologies during winter time
transfers thermo cycle stress to electronic equipment. Electronic
components need to survive these conditions. |
|
|
Frequent and
rapid changes in temperatures mostly are the reason for mechanical
stress. Consequently leakage current, short-circuit or total failure
occur. In order to avoid condensation and freezing of the sensor. It can
be protected by a hermetic barrier. Usually absolutely sealed systems
may not be achieved by this method, because one of the characteristic of
plastic is the permeation. |

Hole diameter measurement |
| |
 |
Capacitec,
Inc. in Ayer, MA USA with European Headquarters based outside Paris
is pleased to announce the acquisition of the CMS hole measurement
product line from MSI. |
|
|
Since 1986 the CMS non-contact capacitive based hole and countersink
measurement system has been established as the benchmark in measuring
critical holes for military and commercial aircraft manufacturers around
the world. Based on its ease of use, speed (measurement accomplished in
a few seconds) and extreme accuracy (+/- 5 microns) it has gained in
popularity at various Airbus locations throughout Europe. The CMS system
is particularly well adapted to the measurement of tapered holes based
on its multi-sensor (48-sensor) approach to inside diameter mapping. |

High Gloss on Car Bodies |
| |
 |
A humidity sensor developed at CiS efficiently monitors drying processes
by the spray-painting of car bodies. In the transition from
solvent-based to water-soluble, environmentally friendly paints, ... |
|
|
... the
adherence to tightly defined tolerances in air humidity and temperature
has a major impact on the quality of the paint finish. In this context it is of particular importance to control the
fluctuation in humidity of the aspirated air from 2g/kg up to 16g/kg
during interim drying. Our sensor measures and regulates the water
content of the air from 4g/kg up to 16g/kg with a precision of +-0,2g/kg
within a temperature range of 35°C - 80°C, which is consistent with
continuous operation in the area of relative humidity of 1-11 %. |
