T&M and Monitoring

Analytical Technology Inc. announces that its A15/76 Turbidity Monitor is capable of achieving reliable low-range measurements of turbidity levels in both drinking water and industrial water treatment applications. Turbidity is measured in nearly all water systems and is a general indicator of the optical clarity of water. The A15/76 Turbidity Monitor from ATi is capable of accurately measuring turbidity in clean or waste water. In clean water applications, the unique sensor flowcell eliminates sample degassing for precise and reliable results. In dirty water applications, ATi’s Auto-Clean system allows reliable accurate measurement without the need for constant cleaning.

Analytical Technology has introduced its ground-breaking Q45N Dissolved Ammonia Monitor, a completely new approach to on-line monitoring of ammonia which is simpler, cheaper and more stable than conventional monitoring equipment. Continuous monitoring of ammonia in water and wastewater streams is becoming increasingly important for plant operations and process control. This new ammonia system represents a major step forward in providing users with a monitor which is both simple to operate and economical to purchase.

The huge popularity of burgers from fast food outlets, pubs and at home, together with competitive pricing means that the composition of burgers can vary significantly, from 100% prime ground beef to poor-quality meat containing a high percentage of fat, bulking agents, salt and other additives. Texture analysis of uncooked patties using a new test jig for the Lloyd Instruments’ TAPlus texture analyser provides an objective measure of the burger consistency.

Palm sized and weighing-in at less than 300g, the IR528 from Armstrong Optical of Northampton is one of the smallest and lightest thermal imaging systems available on the market.

Alloy Wire International Ltd is using a PC-controlled universal materials testing machine from Lloyd Instruments as part of its comprehensive quality assurance procedure. Every coil of wire is subject to tensile testing prior to dispatch.

Fluke has introduced a new, easy-to-use true-RMS digital multimeter designed to help utility electrical contractors and industrial electricians to quickly diagnose electrical problems. It meets the latest safety standards and offers a special function which enables users to simultaneously test for voltage or continuity.

In a joint event held on 23rd April 2008, Adept Scientific and Northwest Analytical demonstrated how Quality Monitor and Quality Analyst helps companies to achieve the very best from their quality systems and production processes.

OxTS will show its RT2500 and RT4000 Inertial and GPS navigation systems at the Automotive Testing Expo in Stuttgart. The systems complement the very successful RT3000 product range which is used by all major car manufacturers worldwide. The RT family of products are high-precision GPS-aided inertial navigation systems for measuring motion, position and orientation of vehicles in real-time.

A new high speed tomography instrument is available which can be used to measure and visualise rapid flows, like never before.

SKF has launched a wireless condition monitoring system designed to improve machine reliability, reduce installation costs and increase the safety of personnel in industrial applications. The SKF Wireless Monitoring System V/T can be used where cabling is impractical, offering a fast and simple way to collect and analyse detailed machine performance data.
