Krohne’s TIDALFLUX performs critical role
in first MCERTS approved industrial site |
| |
 |
KROHNE’s TIDALFLUX flowmeter is performing a critical role in
England’s first non-water industry flow monitoring installation to
receive MCERTS (Monitoring Certification Scheme) self monitoring of
effluent flow approval by the Environment Agency. The instrument has
been installed as part of a $385 million scheme to create an underground
gas storage facility in East Riding, Yorkshire. |
|
|
MCERTS was set up by the Environment Agency and sets minimum
requirements for the quality, installation and control of self
monitoring of effluent flow. It is now being rolled out across other
industry sectors and has also been extended to include the requirement
to measure, collect and collate monitoring data. The scheme is being
built at Scottish and Southern Energy’s (SSE) Aldbrough Gas Storage
Facility and is being project managed by Jacobs Engineering. It involves
creating caverns a mile underground through solution mining - a process
where seawater is injected into wells within a salt bed to dissolve the
mineral and create caverns. During solution mining, brine is pumped out
of the cavern along a pipeline and ... |

New SCHMIDT Flow Sensor SS 20.415 for
Cleanrooms |
| |
 |
The new SCHMIDT Flow Sensor SS 20.415 is a highly specialised
sensor for laminar-flow monitoring in cleanrooms. The sensor is based on
the principle of a thermal anemometer and can measure the flow velocity
in two directions and can precisely detect the flow direction. The
housing of the sensor is a thin stainless steel pipe measuring only 9 mm
in diameter. |
|
|
The complete electronic -based on a microprocessor- is located inside
this small pipe. The sensor is robust due to a metal chamber in which
the sensing element is protected against impacts. Beneath the analog
output this sensor offers two digital outputs to indicate the flow
direction and that flow reaches a preselected switching level. The SS
20.415 comes with the treasured SCHMIDT Cleanroom Quick Mounting System.
This is a mounting adaptor made of stainless steel, which is mounted
onto a wall or ceiling. After inserting the sensor into this adaptor the
sensor gets automatically into the right position in regard to the
filter outlet. As there is no separate electronic module, mounting or
dismounting can be made within seconds. SCHMIDT offers the mounting
adaptors in different versions fitting to all standard cleanroom ceiling
systems. The sensors housing is completely tight and can be sterilized
during operation ... |

PCB Piezotronics Introduces Miniature
Dynamic Pressure Sensors for Diesel & Gas Engine Combustion,
Reciprocating Equipment Monitoring |
| |
 |
January 22, 2007, Depew, NY, USA – PCB Piezotronics, Inc. has
introduced Series 105, a new family of ICP® miniature dynamic pressure
sensors, ideal for monitoring dynamic combustion pressure in diesel and
natural gas powered engines, and other reciprocating equipment. Proper
monitoring allows for extended maintenance intervals, improved fuel
efficiency, and lower NOx emissions. |
|
|
Sensors feature piezoelectric sensing elements with very fast response
times, and are best suited for continuous monitoring or periodic
walk-around cylinder balancing. Additionally, Series 105 features a 4.2
mm diaphragm and M5 thread, easily mounted internal to the engine. With
no moving parts and solid-state construction, their durability is
unsurpassed by any other type of pressure sensor. Frequency response may
be tailored for use on low or high-speed engines. Series 105 pressure
sensors have ranges to 3,600 psi (250 bar) and a max pressure of 4,000
psi (300 bar). Well suited for high temperatures up to +570 °F (+300
°C), the sensors are packaged in stainless steel housings, with rugged
cables, integral charge amplifiers, and connectors. Intrinsically safe
versions are also available for explosive gas atmospheres. ... |

PCB Piezotronics to Host May 2007
Seminar, “Successful Measurement of Dynamic Force, Pressure and
Acceleration” |
| |
January 22, 2007– Depew, NY, USA – PCB Piezotronics (PCB®), a
global leader in the design and manufacture of piezoelectric,
piezoresistive, dynamic, capacitive and strain gage sensors for test and
measurement, today announced a three-day seminar, entitled, “The
Successful Measurement of Dynamic Force, Pressure and Acceleration”,
will be held May 15th thru May 17th, near its corporate headquarters
outside Buffalo, New York. At this seminar, participants will learn to:
- Understand the physics and operating characteristics of dynamic force,
pressure, and acceleration transducers and constraints associated with
their use - Interface transducers effectively within intended test
environments; - Condition transducer signals to maintain their fidelity
through selection of appropriate cabling, amplifiers, analog filters,
sampling rates, DAQs, etc.; - Document extraneous measurands (strain,
temperature, ionization products of a detonation, magnetic fields, etc.)
that superpose as noise on the desired transducer response; - Apply
corrective action for elimination of these noise levels; - Validate that
final, recorded signals contain only the desired (force, pressure, or
acceleration) data ... |

PCB® Offers New Seat Pad Triaxial ICP®
Accelerometer for Ride Comfort Studies, Conformance with ISO 10326-1
Requirements |
| |
 |
January 22, 2007, Depew, NY, USA – PCB Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®),
introduces a new triaxial ICP® accelerometer that installs between rider
and vehicle seat, for ride comfort studies and human vibration exposure
investigations. Model 356B41 contains a precision, low profile, triaxial
ICP® accelerometer, which is mounted to a metal plate and screwed into a
molded rubber pad. |
|
|
The sensor may easily be removed from the pad for calibration and
verification purposes. This mechanical configuration satisfies the
requirements of ISO 10326-1. This sensor also supports whole body
vibration studies, in accordance with ISO 2631 and ISO 8041 standards,
and supports compliance with EU physical agents directives. Model
356B41 has a sensitivity of 100 mV/g (10.2 mV/(m/s²)), frequency range
of 0.5 to 1000 Hz (±5%), and features a 5 ft (1.5 m) integral cable and
4-pin terminating connector. The unit operates directly with readout and
analysis equipment, which provide ICP® sensor excitation, or with a
separate ICP® sensor signal conditioner. The unit also operates directly
with the Larson Davis Model HVM100 Human Vibration Meter, which supports
whole-body and hand-arm vibration measurements. ... |

New 6-channel High-Temperature
Calibration System |
| |
 |
Kistler offers a new system for simultaneous calibration of up to
six piezoelectric sensors from room temperature up to 250 °C (optional).
The system basically consists of a solid metal block with installation
ports for six sensors, a pressure generator, reference sensor and a
signal evaluation unit. |
|
|
For calibration at temperatures above room temperature the sensor
manifold is equipped with a thermostatically controlled heating and
cooling system. The new calibration system is suitable for fast and
highly accurate calibration of piezoelectric pressure sensors for engine
indication. When PiezoSmart® pressure sensors (with sensor
identification) are used the determined calibration values are
automatically saved in a pressure/temperature map and stored on the
transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) of the sensor. Advantages: -
Simultaneous calibration of up to 6 sensors - Automatic calibration -
Temperature range from room temperature to 250 °C - No manual data
handling necessary with sensor identification - Automatic retention of
new calibration data in TEDS. ... |
