Portable Photometer 8000 Field Kit for On-Site Water Testing


Westons Cider saves £42,000 annually


estons Cider is saving around £42,000 per year in fuel and water costs following the installation of a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment unit from Spirax Sarco. The new RO system has reduced water and energy losses by cutting the amount of boiler blowdown and water needed. Accurate metering of fuel oil and water has pinpointed the savings, including 3,800 litres of oil saved over a 15-day period. What’s more, the savings are likely to be even higher than these measurements suggest because of reduced CO2 emissions and a lower Climate Change Levy (CCL), although these have yet to be quantified. Regular boiler blowdown is needed to prevent dissolved solids from accumulating in the boiler, where they can cause problems such as foaming and scale. The RO system from Spirax Sarco treats water before it reaches the boiler feedtank and removes more than 98% of contamination to produce high- quality, low-conductivity water.

water and process water markets. New Photometer 8000 Field Kit from Palintest for testing drinking water, process water, surface water, wastewater.


T


he new, upgraded Photometer 8000 Field Kit from Palintest has now been launched for use in the drinking water, wastewater, surface


The kit brings together a portable multiparameter photometer and all required accessories to conveniently and accurately test in almost any application environment. Equally suitable for use in the lab or in the field, it successfully and economically answers the call for a single water technician’s kit that is suitable for virtually any situation and set of test parameter.Included within the kit’s sturdy IP67 case are cuvettes, sample preparation apparatus and interface cables to allow USB or RS232 connection of the Photometer 8000. Transport containers within the case allow users to carry any of the range of tablet or liquid reagents used for determination of species such as ammonia, nitrate, heavy metals and chlorine.

for Light Measurement L


absphere has introduced the illumia®plus series of LED and light measurement systems, building on its illumia technology with enhanced design that allows for adjustability.


Lighting manufacturers can pick the illumia®plus options they need now and add on modules as standards and business change.


The illumia®plus is equipped with Labsphere’s mobile Integral™ light


measurement software that allows users to access their systems from any location in almost any language. Each base system includes a choice of integrating spheres in sizes up to 3 meters and a wide range of spectrometers to meet various applications. The redesigned spheres allow for tool-less switching between base-up and base-down measurement geometries and hot-swapping of stabilized lamps, saving customers significant time for each measurement.

Lovely Little Loggers from the Test Tools Shop


f you are looking for a simple way to monitor or record DC process current or voltage signals then these little loggers from Hioki are ideal. They will help you check out all of those process transmitters, temperature probes and pressure sensors that your systems depend upon….If you are experiencing any intermittent problems with such sensors don’t just give them a quick check, monitor them over time and really see what’s happening within your system! Set sample rates from 1 second to 60 minutes so you can monitor trends over long periods of time (years if you wish) but unlike other loggers these have a statistical function so

Tinytag Data Loggers: robust environmental monitoring solutions


even at the slower sample rates that conserve memory you can still catch the maximum, minimum and average values from within each measurement period, capturing this important statistical data at a rate of 1 reading every second…with this lovely little logger every second counts!

The nVision Reference Recorder A


ccurate enough to replace a deadweight tester; rugged enough to sit in three feet of water; and portable enough to complete calibrations anywhere – the nVision Reference Recorder is a new class of instrument that is gaining ground over other common pressure instruments. Chart recorders, deadweight testers, and analog pressure gauges can all be replaced by a single handheld reference recorder. The nVision collects and stores up to 1 million data points at 10 readings per second, from two modular ports. Each test is identified by a name and a start time, and can be exported into familiar spreadsheets or a secure, tamper-proof, signed .pdf file. Featuring accuracy up to 0.025% of reading, a live graphical display, an easy to use interface, and the safest test and calibration fittings in the market; the nVision is offering new solutions to old problems.

inytag data loggers accurately and reliably monitor temperature, humidity, single and three phase power usage, CO2 and other environmental parameters. Tinytags range from compact units for indoor use to rugged, waterproof devices for industrial and outdoor applications. Manufactured in the UK, Tinytags help ensure that conditions can be measured, recorded, analysed and validated. Data loggers with displays can be supplied, and specialist ATEX validated units for recording conditions in intrinsically safe areas are also available. For additional flexibility, external sensors in the form of probes offer easy access to awkward areas a logger cannot reach, such as pipework; or can be used for monitoring extremes of temperature such as those in manufacturing processes and cryogenic areas.


T Data from the loggers is


downloaded to a PC via a USB connection and viewed with the easy to use Tinytag Explorer software.
