Melt pressure transmitter with 4 – 20mA
signal and CANopen |
| |
 The
highly successful JUMO 4 ADM-35 series from JUMO GmbH & Co. KG,
Fulda, Germany, can now also be supplied with pre-amplified output
signals, and as a mercury-free version. Melt pressure transmitters are
used in the plastics industry and in process engineering, mainly for
acquiring pressure in liquid and pasty materials in extrusion plants.
These applications demand transmitters that are especially rugged.
Accordingly, they are suitable for ranges from 50 to 2000 bar, and for
media temperatures up to 480°C. New output signals: Up to now, melt
pressure transmitters have commonly been used with a 2mV/V or 3.3mV/V
output signal. However, this requires either special signal inputs or an
additional instrument amplifier for conversion to a standard signal on
the control side. But, thanks to the new electronics, melt pressure
transmitters from JUMO are now also available with a standard analog 4 –
20mA signal or a digital CANopen signal. As a result, the sensors ... |

Precision, 100pT Resolution Magnetometer |
| |
|
Fluxgate World: The A6320 precision, three-channel magnetometer
accepts different fluxgate sensing heads and each channel can operate in
direct or differential mode. Currently available heads include a single
fluxgate for direct measurement of magnetic field strength and a twin,
2m separation head for differential measurement. Direct mode operation
allows field measurement for a broad range of scientific and engineering
applications such as checking for flux leakage, stray flux and residual
fields. The differential mode allows background fields to be cancelled
out and the gain increased to detect very small anomalies in the field.
This is of particular use in geophysical surveying and as a method of
detecting the presence of objects that disrupt the background magnetic
field. Sensor heads are available to measure fields up to 16mT. Custom
software is included for the display of readings on a standard PC or
laptop. The instrument is powered by either 12V battery or 230V mains. .
