The N11 series from Showa Measuring Instruments includes single axis, general purpose-type foil strain gauges.
Wireless temperature and humidity sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering has introduced the SureCross temperature and humidity sensor, optimised for use with the company’s SureCross wireless network.
ABB pressure transmitters
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has enhanced its 364 series of differential and gauge pressure transmitters with the addition of all welded direct and remote-mounted diaphragm seals. The 364 series is designed to suit a wide range of industries, including those with aggressive or hazardous environments where performance needs to be optimised, such as those in chemicals or offshore oil and gas production.
UltraStable US5100 pressure transducer
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Applied Measurement Australia
The UltraStable US5100 pressure transducer from Measurement Specialties features a total error band of just 0.75%. It exceeds the latest heavy industrial CE requirements — including surge protection — and is voltage surge protected in both positive and reverse polarity.
UMM load cells
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Applied Measurement Australia
Dacell UMM load cells are suitable for both compression or tension usage. These load cells are extremely small and lightweight, and are rated to protection class IP67.
Inductive flowmeters
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
The type MIK flowmeters offer four measuring tube widths from G 1/4 AG to G 1 AG and thus four measuring ranges from 0.5-4 to 10-100 L/min. These devices use the magnetic-inductive principle of measurement and are suitable for many applications like the monitoring of additives or cooling agents, consumption measurement or charging.
Density meter
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
Whether dealing with the concentration or the mixing ratio, the density of liquid media plays an important role in many processes such as in the food industry or chemistry.
Product recall of faulty CO detector
25 August, 2008
The Department of Mining Safety and Health has issued a product recall of Industrial Scientific’s 4CF carbon monoxide sensors, after finding some makes could suddenly stop detecting the gas.
Level sensing for sewage lift stations
23 August, 2008 by Rob Knowles* | Supplied by: AMS Instrumentation & Calibration Pty Ltd
The level sensor is a small but vital component in sewage lift or pump stations to maintain system integrity and avoid unwanted spillage.
Five tips to reduce measurement noise
21 August, 2008 by Charles Stiernberg* | Supplied by: National Instruments Aust Pty Ltd
Ensuring measurement accuracy often means going beyond reading raw specifications in a data sheet. Understanding an application in the context of its electrical environment is also important for securing success, particularly in a noisy or industrial setting. Ground loops, high common-mode voltages and electromagnetic radiation are all prevalent examples of noise that can adversely affect a signal.
