Continuous level measurement over a measuring range of up to 8 meters
 

BERTHOLD Technologies: The Tower-Sens is a rod detector based on the well-known level gauging system LB 490 Uni-Probe. It has been designed specifically to monitor large measuring ranges. With only one electronic unit and only one flameproof-housing, the Tower-Sens is significantly more economical than systems comprising several short, cascading detectors. Moreover, the wiring efforts and the risk of complete system failure are drastically reduced. The combination of good value, reliability, accuracy and low source activity make the Tower-Sens the ideal solution for measuring ranges exceeding a length of 2 meters. System highlights: - Constant high measurement accuracy over the entire measuring range, even under varying temperatures - Virtually maintenance-free - Reliable for many years - Low source activity due to the high sensitivity - Minimum radiation protection stipulations ....

“A clear view on flow”
 

Bronkhorst High-Tech proudly presents the BRIGHT Series, multifunctional Readout and Control units. These new R/C-modules offer the users of Bronkhorst Mass Flow Meters / Controllers the possibilities of local indication and operation, flowrate in actual values or percentage, fluid selection, setpoint, counter and alarms. Further to these functionalities, the compact and stylish design distinguishes this comprehensive device from other products on the market. The BRIGHT models are available for lab-style instruments (see depicted image of an EL-FLOW® Mass Flow Controller) and for instruments with IP65 housing. Communication between such an instrument and the BRIGHT module is established over the RS-232 digital communication port. The modern OLED display technology results in a bright and wide angle visibility. The BRIGHT module can be mounted either directly on the instrument, on an adjacent wall / panel or on the instrument’s pipework. For the latter options we can offer an additional mounting bracket. ...

Radiation Interference Discrimination - Radiometric measurements and weld inspections
 

BERTHOLD Technologies: Radiometric level gauges have proved themselves indispensable, especially in the chemical industry, due to their universal usage and reliability. The measurement is contact-free and requires no changes to the vessel. They are therefore widely used, particularly in difficult processes. Problems can occur however, when weld or material inspections are performed at the plant site. During these inspections very strong radioactive sources are employed, sometimes 10,000 times stronger than the source of the measuring system. This additional radiation field leads to a strong rise in count rate at the detector and a seemingly dropping fill level. As a result, considerable problems in the process can occur - in the worst case, vessel overflow with severe consequences for plant and personnel safety. Up to now, detectors were often covered with heavy and expensive lead shieldings. during weld inspections Weld tests were strongly regulated and the production was often stopped or severly hampered. ...

Signal Conditioning Platform (SCP) pmax Measuring and Monitoring - Module Type 5269
 
Kistler: For continuous monitoring and measurement of the cylinder peak pressure pmax in diesel and gasoline engines, the new 2-channel pmax measuring module, Type 5269, offers an ideal expansion unit for the universal signal conditioning platform (SCP). The SCP charge amplifier, Type 5064A, supplies the pmax module, Type 5269, with a voltage proportional to the cylinder pressure. When a defined threshold is reached a warning or a digital emergency stop signal is generated. At the same time the amplifier supplies an output voltage that is proportional to the maximum cylinder pressure of the last cycle. This signal is easily acquired using the usual analog inputs of the test stand measuring system. The pmax module is ideally suitable for monitoring and measuring continuous operation. It can be used to replace high-performance pressure indication systems in many cases. Signal interference, such as pipe oscillations, for example, can be suppressed effectively by an efficient input filter. ...

Suppression of interference radiation in radiometric level measurement
 

BERTHOLD Technologies: Radiometric level measurements are particularly reliable and have a characteristically high availability. The technique permits non-contact level measurement and is therefore used especially for difficult measuring tasks. Hitherto, however, the applicability of radiometric measurements was always compromised whenever testing of materials or welds was being performed on site. A newly developed technology now permits the influence of interference radiation on measurement to be drastically reduced. The very high activity of the radiation sources used for weld testing gene rate such strong radiation fields that even radiometric measurements perform ed at distances of up to 1000 m can go haywire. A new technology has been developed to prevent this from happening. An LB440-RID radiometric level measurement system incorporating this new technology was subjected to extensive field testing by BASF radiometry specialists at Ludwigshafen in collaboration with Berthold Technologies in order to establish its applicability in practice. ...

ROTOSAFE Rotary Level Indicator
 

4B introduces a new and improved Rotary Level Indicator. The ATEX approved RotoSafe incorporates two detection circuits. One circuit indicates when material has impeded the paddle, and the other circuit provides indication when the paddle stops turning, therefore making it a failsafe solution for high level or plug condition monitoring in bins, silos elevators or conveyors. Bonus features include user adjustable sensitivity, LED indication and a corrosion resistant housing. Specifications: Supply: 120/240 VAC /24 VDC - Approvals: CE approved for Europe. ATEX versions available - Class 2 Division 1 groups e, f, g for US & Canada - Protection: IP65 – NEMA 4 - Enclosure: Flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced nylon - Output: Changeover Relay Contacts - Weight: 2.25 lb. ...

e2v supports Aston Martin’s Driving Home Road Safety Campaign 2007
 
e2v is supporting two Britons who will drive a factory-prepared Aston Martin V8 Vantage from Tokyo to London on an epic journey along the newly completed Asia-Pacific Highway, bringing world attention to road safety awareness and raising money to help save children from death and injury on the roads. The V8 is set to become the first car ever to cross the full extent of the new Asia Highway network of roads, arriving early August in Trafalgar Square, London – and in doing so achieving a place in the record books. Much of the highway, which was first mooted 50 years ago and was completed last year, consists of improved roadways, but there are sections in central Asia which will test both the car and drivers to the full. This 10,000 mile journey will see the car travelling through: Japan, South Korea, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. e2v’s automotive solutions include: Alarms – microwave sensors: e2v’s microwave alarm sensor is fitted as standard in every Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Microwave alarm sensors provide greater and more reliable security protection than traditional ultrasonic alarms, which can be activated by thunderstorms, gusts of wind or by contact with the exterior of the car. Intelligent sensing control - Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs): ASICs interpret data collected by vehicle sensors and automatically activate, for example, windscreen wipers, headlights, seat belt warning. ...
