Calibration Service for SmartCrash®
Barriers |
| |
 |
Automobile developers set high quality standards for force measurement
in crash tests. Accordingly Kistler now offers an easily
customized service program for its SmartCrash barriers. The new mobile
calibration test stand covers loads up to 500 kN. Kistler service
technicians employ this stand worldwide for regular on-site
recalibration. |
|
|
The calibration process can be interrupted at any stage to dovetail with
the crash test sequence so it is never delayed. Laborious dismantling of
the crash barriers for return to the manufacturer is not necessary.
Kistler Group: Kistler’s core competence is the development, production
and use of sensors for measuring pressure, force, torque and
acceleration. Kistler’s know-how and electronic systems can be used to
prepare measuring signals for use in analyzing physical processes,
controlling and optimizing industrial processes, improving product
quality in manufacturing and improving performance in sports and
rehabilitation. Kistler offers a comprehensive range of sensors ... |

Variable Area Flow Meters Baked and
Shaken |
| |
 |
Last year KROHNE became ASME Section III certified, authorizing
them to place the "N" stamp and the "NPT" stamp on their products, and
now the first product qualifications under harsh environments have been
successfully completed. KROHNE subjected a H 250 variable area flow
meter to thermal, cyclic, seismic and radioactive ageing tests. In this
process, the H 250 was exposed to temperatures of 93°C for 820 hours in
an oven and 5 MRad radiation, among other demanding conditions. |
|
|
The tests met the requirements of the IEEE for "Recommended Practices
for Seismic Qualification of Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power
Generating Stations" as well as the "Testing Procedure for Seismic
Qualification of CANDU Nuclear Power Plants“ of the CSA. AMSE
certification and successful product qualification have once more proved
KROHNE's ability to produce high-performance products with demanding
safety and availability requirements. For over thirty years, KROHNE has
been a reliable partner for nuclear power station operators and
equipment makers. KROHNE is certified under KTA 1401, RCC-E and RCC-M as
well as ASME Section III ("N" and "NPT" stamps). KROHNE meets these
requirements, and their products, including variable area, ultrasound
and electro-magnetic flow meters, as well as level meters ... |

World’s fastest digital Humidity Module -
DigiPicco™ |
| |
 |
Product announcement: The world’s fastest digital Humidity Module (www.digipicco.com).
With a response time of only 5 seconds (t63) out of a condensated
condition and most advanced RISC based electronics. The DigiPicco™
series builds upon the well proven elements of its predecessor LinPicco™
modules. |
|
|
Similarly it uses the ruggedized humidity sensor P14 SMD, which is
internationally used with several OEMs as a discrete sensor element,
last not least due to its excellent drift stability and high temperature
endurance. This renders tedious and error prone drift compensation
algorithms obsolete. Like the analog version, the module is fully dewing
resistant, as the whole printed circuit board is sealed with a military
coating. The extreme maximum dew point temperature of up to 85 degree
Celsius puts measurements within the high humidity range at ease, even
at elevated temperatures. Using internal temperature compensation,
relative humidity and environmental temperature can be provided
digitally (15bit values) on the bus for further processing, as
evaluation of dew point or wet bulb temperature. ... |

Revolution in mass flow measurement:
microflowSens™ |
| |
 |
The microflowSensTM is especially designed for fast flow measurements.
Due to a membrane system, the thermal mass is reduced to a minimum,
which yields to a very fast response time (<10ms) at small supply
current requirements. The membrane, just a few microns thick, is carried
by a glass substrate, ruggedized and easy to handle. The tiny chip
dimensions (2.23mm x 3.5mm) enable design-in for applications with
restricted space dimensions. |
|
|
The measuring resistors are wired in a Wheatstone bridge on chip level.
This minimizes the amount of external electronic components devices,
thus reduces error sources, and guarantees optimal matching of
individual bridge resistors. Line up of resistors in a row results in a
temperature gradient caused by the flow of the surrounding media,
because of resistors are cooled down differently. The sign of the
gradient gives information about flow direction, whereas signal strength
is correlated to mass flow. The positioning holes not only enable to
position the device correctly but also to mount the sensors easily on a
printed circuit board using quadruple pin headers. The microflowSensTM
perfectly suits into applications where fast response time is key and
measuring of ultra small flow rates is required, such as in medical
applications and differential pressure monitoring. ... |

e2v image sensors to launch with Solar-B
mission |
| |
Image sensors from UK-based e2v are to be launched from Japan on
23 September with the Solar-B space mission to study the Sun. The
sensors are incorporated into Solar-B’s three scientific instruments.
They will capture high resolution images during solar atmospheric
investigations that will examine the dynamic Sun-Earth relationship.
Solar-B is a major observatory planned to study the interactions between
the Sun’s activity and its atmosphere. It will yield a rich return of
science data, which will help us understand the variability of stars.
Solar-B has three primary science instruments, two of which study the
sun in the invisible ultraviolet part of the spectrum, whilst the third
looks in the more common visible waveband. Solar-B’s Extreme Ultraviolet
Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) was built by a consortium led by University
College London’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory using e2v’s large
area, back-illuminated CCDs (charge coupled devices). Just as the human
skin can be damaged by high energy UV radiation, scientific detectors
can also be damaged. These CCDs were optimised for stability under the
damaging ultraviolet radiation ... |

JENCOLOUR MTCS-TIAM mini colour sensor
modules optimise colour measurement and light detection |
| |
 |
MAZeT GmbH, the leading system vendor for industrial electronics
is to use the international electronics trade fair “electronica” to
present two unique OEM true-colour sensor modules for the very first
time: Alongside its latest developments, MAZeT will demonstrate the new
colour sensor systems MTCS-TIAM1 and MTCS-TIAM2 at Stand 313 in Hall 2A
from 14th to 17th November 2006. |
|
|
This expands the JENCOLOUR® product group to include additional sensor
IC solutions, which are used in general colour detection and
measurement, in the consumer goods industry, as portable colour
detectors / readers, in RGB-LCD backlight monitors, for regulating RGB
power LEDs as well as for detecting a wide variety of light sources.
Under the name of MTCS-TIAM1, MAZeT offers a colour sensor board with
optical shutters, which alongside the MTCSiCS true-colour sensor IC also
integrates the new MTI04CQ transimpedance amplifier using very compact
chip-on-board technology. The MTCS-TIAM2 comprises a true-colour sensor
IC with an integrated signal amplifier (MTI04C). The IC contains XYZ (RGB)
filters and is therefore especially designed for colour measurements
which are based on the tristimulus value function ... |
