Mini-Mixer will be the torque of many
industries |
| |
 Sensor
Technology Ltd: A torque sensor is helping analyse recipes’ mixing
properties in a project that could slash development costs in the food
and plastics industry and help nanotechnology advances in the
pharmaceuticals world. The research and development is being carried out
at the University of Bradford by Professor Hadj Benkreira and Dr Raj
Patel in collaboration with Dr Martin Gale, formerly of RAPRA Technology
(Shawbury) now Visiting Professor. They have been developing a miniature
mixer (5-25 grams batch) that incorporates a set of integral instruments
to monitor the properties of materials as they are being mixed. The
instruments work in real time during the mixing process and their output
is captured to a PC for subsequent analysis. Software is being written
so that the analysis can be performed simultaneously with the mixing and
perhaps even used to interactively control the mixer itself. One of the
key parameters to be measured is the torque of the mixing element, as
this will become constant once mixing is complete. This is measured by a
TorqSense non-contact sensor ... |

 Michell
Instruments are delighted to announce they have received
confirmation of the accreditation by FM Approvals for the intrinsically
safe version of their Easidew Transmitter. In addition to its ATEX
certification, this allows the Easidew TX I.S. to be used in hazardous
area applications within the USA. The Easidew TX I.S. is certified by FM
Approvals for use in hazardous areas to IS/I/1/ABCD/T4 when used with a
galvanic isolator for signal power supply connections. The new
Transmitter can be safely used in virtually all industrial gas
measurement applications. The certification lists five different
galvanic isolators. This allows the customer to choose the most suitable
isolator to provide the correct hazardous / safe area interconnection.
The Easidew TX I.S. offers the customer more new and improved features.
It can now be connected in a 2-Wire loop powered or 3-Wire
configuration. The Transmitter also features an HDPE filter, designed to

Latest absolute pressure transducer
provides Top Class safety |
| |
 HBM:
The P3 Top Class series of absolute pressure transducers gives increased
accuracy and significantly enhanced temperature behavior for
applications that demand extremely high process safety. The transducers
are available in 6-wire configuration. The integrated PT 100 resistance
thermometer can be used for external compensation while additional
sensor leads acquire temperature values. Both configurations eliminate
accuracy losses that may result from long cables. The transducer is
supplied with a two-page test report that includes individually
documented values, for example, for the relative deviation from the
fitting curve. The test report enables corrections to be made in the
amplifier and thus to increase the accuracy of the measurement chain. . ... |

New inductive probe for conductivity and
temperature |
| |
 The
new conductivity probe in the 202759 series, from JUMO GmbH & Co.
KG, Fulda, Germany, which has been designed to comply with EHEDG
guidelines, meets the very highest hygienic requirements. The
conductivity probe is fitted with a fast-responding integrated Pt1000
temperature sensor, and is made from Natur-PEEK®, a special plastic used
in medical technology. It will be available with the usual process
connections, such as a DN40/50 milk cone, clamp, Varivent®, and SMS. An
immersion version and threaded types are also planned. Three different
measuring methods can be distinguished for electrolytic conductivity
measurement: conductive with 2-electrode cells, with 4-electrode cells,
or “non-contact” inductive. None of these methods can totally replace
the others - the optimum measuring method must be chosen to suit the
specific application. . ... |

SenGenuity’s ViSmart™ Viscosity Sensor
Element Successfully Tested For Long-term Reliability in Engine Oil
Applications |
| |
 ViSmart
Sensor Element was successfully tested for Rotating Pressure Vessel
Oxidation Test for Applications in Engines for Continuous, Real-Time
Monitoring of Oil Condition. HUDSON, NH - SenGenuity, a division
of Vectron International, a leader in the design, manufacture and
marketing of breakthrough sensor products and solutions, today announced
that its ViSmart™ viscosity sensor element has been successfully tested
for Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test (RPVOT) for applications in
engines for continuous, real-time monitoring of oil condition. The RPVOT
is an ASTM 2272 test, which oxidizes the oil heavily, and is used to
test the sensor's capability to survive oxidized oil conditions; these
conditions are reflective of actual operating conditions in engines. The
RPVOT was conducted by OELCHECK GmbH, the world leader in lubricant
analysis and related consultation. This activity is part of the working
partnership between SenGenuity and OELCHECK. Under terms of that
partnership, OELCHECK, as part of its overall oil condition monitoring
and data analysis services, is conducting tests of the ViSmart sensor
supported by their deep knowledge in tribology for customers in Europe. ... |

JUMO ecoLine and tecLine - pH and ORP
combination electrodes for swimming pools |
| |
 JUMO:
The condition of swimming and bathing pool water must by law be such
that it does not constitute a risk to human health. Numerous
measurements are needed for checking the quality of the pool water. The
most important parameters for the pool water quality are the pH value
and ORP. DIN 19643 stipulates which values these two parameters must
have. Depending on the type of bathing water (fresh water or sea water),
the measurements are not allowed to go above or below the range 6.5 to
7.8 pH and 700 to 770 mV. The pH value can affect the disinfection,
flocculation and filtration of the water. An excessive pH will, for
instance, reduce the disinfectant effect of the hypochlorite. The ORP
can be used to evaluate the bactericidal effect of the water in the
pool. This then enables more efficient application of the disinfectant
agents. . ... |

Robust inclinometers with 360º measuring
range and CAN interface |
| |
 With
the QG65, Dewit Industrial Sensors (DIS) offers a highly robust
inclinometer that will measure a full 360º rotation in relation to the
earth’s gravity without reference parts. In addition it is fitted with
one or two M12 connectors and CAN-open interface for easy installation.
The new QG65 is the latest addition to the Quadro-G inclinometer range,
that include single, dual and tripple axis inclinometers. The sensor is
suited for measurement of angular movement up to 360°; this is
especially demanded for electronic control of the arms of mobile cranes
when angular movement is greater than 180º. Robust: This inclinometer is
specified to withstand shocks > 20.000g. Additionally the
micro-electronics have been potted to IP 67 in a compact metal housing
with M12 connectors. This results in an easy loop through the CAN
interface. Specifications: The sensors are suited for 8 – 30Vdc supply
voltage and can be configured with different outputs like a 0,5 – 4,5V
or 4 – 20mA analogue signal, or a CANopen interface. ... |

One Powerful Combination – Goodyear,
Fendt, Kistler and the University of Hohenheim Started Research Project |
| |
 Modern,
heavy, powerful tractors require high horsepower, strong tires and rims
to transmit all forces to the field or the road. Basic research in this
area has been limited but is now ready for a major step forward through
a combined research project between Fendt, Kistler, Goodyear and
the Institute of Agricultural Engineering at the University of Hohenheim,
Germany. The objective of this research is to measure and investigate
the forces and moments acting on tires, rims and the chassis and use
these results to model and further improve the interaction between all
components. For this purpose, a top of the range Fendt 936 Vario 4WD
tractor will be equipped with new Kistler 6 component measuring wheels ... |
