NPP NIVUS PipeProfiler - Portable Influent Control |
| |
 |
Regulations and ordinances require consistent monitoring of sewage
channel systems. Economic efficiency, reliability and accuracy are
prerequisites an appropriate measurement system has to meet. For your
convenience, we have extended our PCM Pro by a flexible “pipe measuring
section”. |
|
|
This enables you to use all the functions of the PCM Pro, the most
accurate portable flow measurement system for partly and full filled
pipes and channels available today. Now, it is possible for you to order
a complete system consisting of transmitter, sensor and measuring
section - in short NPP. This package perfectly fits your requirements.
For partly filled pipes high accuracy by dam-up and hence measurement in
full filling - Measurement error <1% - Recognition of sedimentation -
Quick and simple installation - to be combined with all sensors of the
PCM Pro family - Verification of channel utilization - Calibration basis
of hydraulic calculation models - Determination of required renovation

Stationary Ultrasonic Flow Measurement Transit
Time & Profile Determination by Cross Correlation |
| |
 |
NivuSonic measures the flow rate using the ultrasonic transit time
principle. The built-in sensors are designed for use in full and partly
filled pipes and channels with diameters from 200 mm up to 12 m. The
flow rate will be determined by measuring the mean velocity along 1-8
precisely defined paths. |
|
|
Using this method, it is possible to measure clean water or even water
with slight contamination. Teamed up with our OCM Pro, NivuSonic will
allow 2-dimensional grid corner point measurement for the first time.
Ultrasonic transit time measurement with 1 to 8 measurement paths -
According to IEC 41 (ASME PTC 18) - High accuracy (< 0.5 %) in full
filled pipes - For control of e.g. turbine efficiency - For diameters
from 0.2 to 12 m (0.7 to 39 ft) ... |

Industrial Force / Process Monitoring
Sensors |
| |
 |
January 23, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – Piezoelectric sensors from the Force
/ Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®) utilize
piezoelectric quartz sensing elements to measure dynamic and
quasi-static forces on machinery structures. Piezoelectric sensors
feature high rigidity and have no internal moving parts and thus are not
susceptible to fatigue or sensitivity over millions of cycles. |
|
|
This makes them ideal for industrial process control and product quality
assurance applications which require repetitive cycle measurement. In
typical applications, upper and lower control limits are set to follow a
desired force curve for the process; if the actual force curve deviates
from the pre-set control limits, the process is shut down. This prevents
acceptance of non-conforming parts as finished goods. Applications
include clinching, crimping, metal forming, plastic injection molding,
pressing, punching, spot welding, stamping, and automatic assembly
operations. PCB Series 208C General Purpose Force Sensors, Force Rings,
Force Links, and Series M240 Strain Sensors are easy to install, and can
be powered by any ICP® sensor signal conditioner. ... |

New Model 377A20 Random Incidence ˝”
ICPTM Microphone Offers Extended Frequency Range |
| |
 |
January 23, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – The Vibration Division of PCB
Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®) introduces Model 377A20 prepolarized, 1/2”
Random Incidence (Diffuse Field) microphone, which operates from ICP®
sensor power. The distinguishing feature of this model is its extended
frequency range to 16 kHz (+/- 2dB). It has a sensitivity of 50 mV/Pa
and a wide dynamic range (14.6 to 146 dB (A) re 20µPa). |
|
|
This microphone has a +150 °C (+302 °F) operating temperature range and
coefficient for temperature of -0.001 dB/ °C. This model is one of a
full series of modern, pre-polarized, condenser microphones and
preamplifiers available from PCB. Powered by a 2 to 20 mA signal
conditioner and standard coaxial cables, these modern designs allow for
significant savings in power supply and cabling cost, greater
ease-of-use and operate from the same power required for ICP®
accelerometers. This provides the advantage of using microphones with
ICP® accelerometers in the same test, with the same signal conditioning
equipment, minimizing set-up time. ... |

January 23, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – The Vibration Division of PCB
Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®) introduces Model 377A60 externally polarized,
1/2” Random Incidence (Diffuse Field) type microphone. The
distinguishing feature of this model is its enhanced sensitivity of 50
mV/Pa. It has wide dynamic range (15 to 146 dB (A) re 20mPa) and a
frequency range from 3.15 Hz to 10,000 Hz (+/- 2 dB). |
|
|
In addition to its traditional 200V models, PCB carries a full line of
modern, pre-polarized, condenser microphones and preamplifiers. Powered
by a 2 to 20 mA signal conditioner and standard coaxial cables, these
modern designs allow for significant savings in power supply and cabling
cost, greater ease-of-use and operate from the same power required for
ICP® accelerometers. This provides the advantage of using microphones

with analogue output or RS232/RS485 interface |
| |
 |
The model DKRF400 humidity- and temperature probe manufactured by
Driesen+Kern GmbH, Germany is suitable for a wide range of
applications. Due to its small dimensions (D=8mm, L=100mm) the probe can
be used in incubators, climate chambers, humidifiers, air conditioners
as well as many more applications in process and automation. |

The precise capacitive humidity and temperature sensor uses latest
CMOSens technology and has an optimal performance in a range of
–40...+120°C and of 0..100% RH giving an accuracy of up to +/- 1,8% RH.
A fast response time allows for fast process control. The probe has two
analogue of output of 0..1V, 0..5V, 0..10V for relative humidity and
temperature. Especially for datalogger and field applications it can be

New 16-Bit Rotary Torque Sensor for
Machining Center Spindle Qualification Testing |
| |
 |
January 23, 2006, Depew, New York, USA – TORKDISC® Rotary Torque Sensor
System from the Force / Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc.
(PCB®) is a compact in-line rotary torque sensor, ideally suited for
spindle qualification testing of machining center and other torque
measurement applications that require a robust torque transducer where
axial space is at a premium. |
|
|
The torque sensor can aid in selecting proper spindle sizes by comparing
rated power to actual torque delivered to cutting tools. The compact,
low weight TORKDISC® features high torsional stiffness and low
sensitivity to axial and thrust bending moments. The TORKDISC® features
a field-proven telemetry system that consists of an on-board electronic
module that converts torque signals into a high-speed digital
representation. Once in digital form, this data is transmitted to a
non-contacting pick-up loop, with no risk of noise or data corruption. A
remote receiver unit converts the digital data to a high-level analog
output voltage, frequency output, and a serial digital output. The
TORKDISC® Series offers capacities from 2,000 to 225,000 in-lb (226 to
25.4 k N-m) full-scale and maximum speeds to 15,000 RPM. ... |
