Flow sensor for air and gases - SCHMIDT®
Flow Sensor SS 20.260 |
| |
Under the name SS 20.260 SCHMIDT Technology offers a new flow
sensor for air and gases which is robust and very compact. It´s
measuring range of 20 m/s and linear analog output identify him as
universal sensor for measurements of air velocity, volume flow and mass
flow in a lot of applications. The sensor is robust due to a chamber in
which the sensing element is protected against impacts. The stainless
steel sensor tube is available in different length and thus can be
placed at the correct position regardless of the size of the duct. Two
LED's indicate the correct operation or inform about wrong supply
voltage or sensor defects. Applications: - Flow measuring in air ducts -
Volume flow measuring in test benches - Control of combustion air of
oil, wood, gas or coal burners - Flow control in cooling or drying
constructions. ... |

FISO launches a new generation of
EVOLUTION platforms and high-performing signal conditioner modules |
| |
QUEBEC, Quebec —May 15th, 2007 — FISO Technologies, a subsidiary
of Roctest Ltd (TSX: RTT) and a leader inthe high-quality fiber optic
sensors industry, introduces a new generation of optical-fiber signal
conditioner modules, combined with a new EVOLUTION table-top platform
with significantly enhanced performance and flexibility. The FPI-HR
signal conditioner modules are designed in a unique configuration which
makes them suitable for laboratory and original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) applications. Each optical module is integrated inside a housing
shell providing system protection and ease of integration for any OEM
equipment. In addition, each module includes a RS-232 and a RS-485
communication port as well as analog outputs (0 to 5V or 4 to 20mA)
providing great flexibility for system control and data acquisition. For
laboratory and industrial applications, FISO has combined the FPI-HR
module with the new Evolution platform. The Evolution chassis provides a
snap-in DIN-Rail connection for the FPI RS-485 communication port. The
table-top Evolution chassis is offered with a capacity of 2, 4 or 6
modules while a rack mount version for industrial applications is
available with a capacity of 7 FPI-HR modules.

High-Temperature Accelerometer for
Automotive Exhaust System Testing |
| |
Synotech Sensor und Messtechnik GmbH: Model 357B65
high-temperature, piezoelectric charge output accelerometer from the
Vibration Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®), operates in
temperatures ranges of -54 to +482 ºC, and is designed for vibration
studies in the high-temperature, ambient environments found in power
generation turbines and equipment, aircraft engines, and automotive
vehicle engine test and exhaust systems. The Model 357B65 accelerometer
connects to laboratory-style charge amplifiers or in-line charge
converters, which condition the output signal for recording or analysis.
The robust sensor is structured with a piezoceramic sensing element and
an all-welded, hermetically-sealed Inconel® housing. It features a
sensitivity of 4 pC/g, measurement range of + 500 g, a 3,000 g shock
limit and 10-32 coaxial electrical connector. ... |

Noncontact Sensor Reliability
Strengthened with Two-Year Warranty |
| |
Sensor reliability is a critical issue in many applications. All
capacitive and eddy-current noncontact sensors from Lion Precision
will carry a two-year warranty beginning June 1, 2007. The change
results from recent investigations showing that the company’s general
sensor lines have lower failure rates than their market-leading LRD line
of label sensors which has always carried a two-year warranty. “Our
sensors virtually never break,” reported Don Martin, director of
development for the company. He added, “This is good for everyone; the
two-year warranty tells our current and potential customers that they
can concentrate on their measurements rather than worry about production
stoppages, research delays or aggravation from failed sensors.” The
two-year warranty is thought to be an industry first. Lion Precision
noncontact, displacement sensors are used for high-resolution
measurement of position, displacement, small motions and detection of
presence/absence/quantity of nonconductive materials such as glue or
paper additives.

Miniaturised Humidity and Temperature
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
powered from 3V onwards with an extremely low power consumption. For
more industrial applications it can be supplied with up to 25 VDC. ... |

4B “WHIRLIGIG” |
| |
 The “WHIRLIGIG” three in one target / bracket / guard makes the
installation simple for all standard cylindrical or DIN style inductive
sensors, such as the M100 Stopswitch, M300 Slipswitch, M800 Speedswitch,
or P800 Proxswitch to monitor zero speed, under-speed or shaft speed.
The sensor bolts to the base plate and the complete assembly couples to
the machines shaft.
The installation of speed sensors is now simple and reliable. Shaft end
float and machine vibration does not adversely affect the performance of
the sensor, as the whole assembly moves with the shaft. It makes sense
to use a “WHIRLIGIG” U.S. Pat # 6,109,120. CSA approved for Class 2 Div
1 E F & G. Available with 1, 2, 4, or 8 targets. Corrosion resistant
body and all stainless steel parts. Optional MagCon, for magnetic
connection to the shaft. ... |

Fourier Software News |

Release of MicroLab Plus 1.35: Includes a new feature whereby the
software can delay sending an email notification when the system goes
into alarm. The user can determine that if the system returns to normal
conditions from between 2 to 100 cycles after the initial alarm, then an
email is not sent. This feature is very useful when customers wish to
minimize the number of alarm notifications as a result of a legitimate
change in the environment. For example, temperature changes when a
refrigerator door is momentarily opened but this doesn't represent a
fault with the refrigeration cycle, and temperature is restored to
pre-alarm levels before the preconfigured number of cycles has passed
e.g. 5 cycles. An email notification is therefore not sent by MicroLab
Plus.
