T&M and Monitoring

The new JOFRA AMC910 multi-purpose calibrator from AMETEK Calibration Instruments provides high precision signal, temperature and pressure calibrations. With the performance of a laboratory calibrator, an additional isolated measurement channel and optional external pressure modules, the system is ideally suited for multiple calibration requirements.

OxTS will present its RT-Range system at the conference 'Active Safety through Driver Assistance' taking place in Munich from 7th – 8th April 2008. The RT-Range systems are used for testing and validating Advanced Driver Assistance Systems such as Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning or Blind Spot Detection. Visitors will have the opportunity to see a live demonstration of the RT-Range measurement system. A Hunter- and a Target vehicle will be equipped with the system, so that visitors can see live and real-time results.

The Orbitform Group recently released a breakthrough product for robotic spot welding - the Weld Tip System (WTS). WTS is a revolutionary new tool that inspects spot welding electrodes (tips) and ensures that face diameters and general appearance meet acceptance criteria.

Jdl is pleased to announce the TDL-130 data logger that monitors the sterilisation process, in cans, bottles, jars or other containers in tunnels or in autoclaves up to 130C. Simple to set up and easy to use software produces proof of correct processing. It also enables the producer to ensure that he is maintaining correct temperatures throughout the process.

SKF has developed a handheld sound pressure meter to simplify the recording of sound levels in industrial environments, protecting the health and safety of employees and minimising the costs that arise from illness and legal action. The portable TMSP 1 device has been designed to be carried around and used wherever it is needed to carry out checks quickly and simply, minimising both time and costs.

Endevco has announced publication of its new 2008 Dynamic Test Handbook. This handy volume provides a convenient and complete reference for a wide range of commonly used data to assist in effective and efficient testing operations.

Adept Scientific is pleased to announce the addition of United Electronic Industries’ UEISIM to their range of PC/Ethernet data acquisition and control systems products.

Manufacturers can take advantage of a new interactive CD from Clare Instruments which provides solutions for resolving electrical safety and compliance testing problems during the production process.

Rotameters or variable area flow meters operate on the principle that the variation in area of flow stream required to produce a constant pressure differential is proportional to the flow rate. The flowing fluid enters the bottom of the meter, passes upward through a variable area metering tube, and around the float, exiting at the top. The flow rate is read by noting the position of the float against the calibrated scale etched on the tube.
