FREE Moisture Measurement Slide Rule
Calculator |
| |
 |
Michell Instruments has produced an absolute humidity and
relative humidity slide rule. It was made with the customer in mind and
provides the user with a fast, clear and simple slide rule formula. The
useful tool also includes practical definitions and equations such as
the equation for ppmv and the way of calculating a given saturation
vapour pressure. |
|
|
The front, "Michell" side of the slide rule calculates absolute humidity
allowing the user to align measured dewpoint value with the operating
pressure and then read the moisture content (ppmv) clearly and
concisely. The user can then reverse the process to calculate dewpoint
at pressure from ppmv. The reverse, or "Rense" side of the calculator
allows the user to set temperature (oC or oF) at a given relative
humidity and then calculate the dewpoint. This process can then be
reversed to calculate % rh at temperature from dewpoint. ... |

New family of Inline flow sensors from
SCHMIDT Technology |
| |
 |
SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor Family SS 30.300. SCHMIDT Technology
presents a completely new family of Inline flow sensors. This is a
significant improvement of the SCHMIDT program of flow sensors which
previously consisted of immersion type flow sensors. |
|
|
Inline flow sensor means, that these sensors come with their own
measuring pipe thus giving direct display of the volume flow. Contrary
to immersion sensors the inline sensors simplify the mounting, reduce
the influence of mounting tolerances and the measuring pipe is part of
the adjustment process. This new product family consists of 4 sensor
models in pipe sizes of ½, 1, 1 ½ and 2 inch. Actual volume flow,
totalized volume flow and media temperature can be interrogated from the
internal LED display. Two keys allow to configure the functions of the
sensor. Output 1 may be configured as switching output or analog output,
output 2 may be used as pulse output or second switching output. The new
sensors are available from February 2007. Applications: compressed-air
consumption measurements, volume flow measurements in test benches, flow
measurements in nitrogen or other passivation gases, flow measurements
in process gases. ... |

Measurement of lime levels in drinking
water & wastewater |
| |
 |
OPTIFLEX for lime level measurement in a silo. As lime is a product
derived from the Earth, it is fitting that many of its uses also benefit
the Earth. In fact, the second leading use of lime is in environmental
applications, including drinking water and wastewater. OPTIFLEX is
widely used to indicate lime levels in storage silos. |
|
|
It usually replaces non-reliable ultrasonic or electromechanical systems
that are expensive to maintain. Lime powder is used to treat industrial
and mining wastewater by adjusting the pH of acidic waste, removing
phosphorus and nitrogen, and promoting clarification. Operating under
the so-called TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) measuring principle, the
instrument is immune to dust and harsh environments. OPTIFLEX is the
third generation of TDR level meters from KROHNE, available in
compact or remote design, high-performance and field-proven. Up to 5
sensor options are available for various applications and requirements:
level measurement of liquids or solids. ... |

Miniature, In-Line Charge Converters with
TEDS |
| |
 |
PCB Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®), introduces a new series of
miniature, in-line charge converters for use with charge output
piezoelectric accelerometers, force and pressure sensors. Series 422E9x
has been designed to address the need for lightweight charge converters,
which consume a minimal amount of installation space. |
|
|
Units are powered by standard ICP® sensor signal conditioners.
Models 422E91, 422E92 and 422E93 offer standard conversion
sensitivities, respectively, of: 0.1 mV/pC, 1.0 mV/pC, and 10 mV/pC, and
frequencies from 1.5 Hz to 50 kHz. Units feature 0.25 inch (6.4 mm)
diameter stainless steel housings, are 1.6 inches (40 mm) in length, and
incorporate 10-32 coaxial input and output connectors. A TEDS option
permits channel identification, sensitivity interrogation, and
coordinate location information to be stored in an on-board memory
circuit, recalled by simple command. These charge converters are ideal
for use with charge output sensors engaged in structural testing
requirements, aerospace component monitoring, and environmental
simulation, where installation space is restricted and mass loading is
of concern. ... |

Humidity measurement for engine testing
and development |
| |
 |
The measurement of humidity plays an important role in measuring the
efficiency, power output and emissions of internal combustion engines.
As an environmental requirement in the design and production of any
combustion engine, including petrol and diesel motor vehicles, trucks,
diesel locomotive engines, aircraft engines and gas turbines, a
requirement exists to comply with the Clean Air Act. |
|
|
Testing is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
the Californian Air Resources Board (CARB) in the USA and by various EC
legislative standards in Europe. Typical emissions which are monitored
and regulated by various government agencies include NO, NO2, N2O4, SO2,
SO3, CO, CO2, Pb and residual hydrocarbons. The quality and relative
concentrations of these emissions are affected by various factors,
including ambient temperature, pressure, humidity and the type of
engine, fuel and conditions of use. It follows therefore that in order
to minimise variability of test results all influencing factors need to
be controlled or measured wherever possible. ... |
