Torquing sense about ship unloaders
Rapid loading and unloading are critical to the success of a shipping company because ships make money at sea, not in port. Dockside technology continues to develop to provide ever more speed and efficiency, with wireless, non-contact digital torque monitoring an emerging technology that is increasingly being integrated into unloaders.
Water level transducer collects half a million data points
A water level transducer suitable for harsh environments, has been introduced by Measurement Specialities. Thebattery-powered TruBlue 255can collect up to half a million time stamped pressure and temperature data points with its standard 8MB of internal memory and3.7m data pointswith its optional 56MB of internal memory.
Waterproof connectors are used within the Jubilee River
The TeePlug TH384 series waterproof connectors from Hylec-APL, have been supplied for use on a weir at the head of the Jubilee River. The river, which is man-made, is used to divert water away from the Thames and prevent flooding around Windsor, Eton and Maidenhead. The connectors have been specified to facilitate quick replacement of the transducers which monitor the position of the weir's hydraulic cylinders, ensuring the flood defence's reliab...
Bluetooth amplifier delivers class-leading battery life
Designed for powering audio transducers, the DyadBA3 Bluetooth amplifier module has been announced by Tectonic Elements. Powered by a 3.7V lithium-ion battery (single cell or multiple cells in parallel for higher capacity), the DyadBA3 is claimed to provide class-leading battery life - potentially 400% better than comparable competitors.
Light curing adhesive targets COC/COP bonding
A UV and visible light curing adhesive, particularly suited to rapid bonding of COP/COC, has been introduced by Intertronics. The DYMAX 1072-M MD adhesive bonds COC/COP (cyclic olefin polymers/copolymers) film laminates and other difficult-to-bond-to polymers, as well as a variety of other plastics widely used in the manufacture of medical devices.
Understanding sensors within a fluid control system
Very little can be achieved withoutraw data supplied by sensors in today's fluid control systems. These sensors can help facilitate a variety of tasks from displaying process information and performing control functions to operating alarms, but each one has to communicate information to a process controller. Bürkert's Kieran Bennett looks at the range of sensors available, the different technologies used in their design and how the applicati...
