thorough troubleshooting with a single tool Thermal imagers are invaluable to help quickly troubleshoot electrical equipment,


transformers but electricians and maintenance technicians often do not have access to one when they need it. Fluke has introduced the 279 FC TRMS Thermal Multimeter, the first test tool to integrate a full-featured true RMS (TRMS) digital multimeter (DMM) with a thermal camera in one device to speed troubleshooting. It is also a member of the Fluke Connect® family of wireless test tools. The Fluke 279 FC allows technicians to quickly and safely check for hot spots in fuses,


insulators, connectors, splices, and switches with the imager, and then troubleshoot and analyse issues with the DMM.

transmit the signal from the rotating shaft and so eliminates the signal distortion and loss inherent in slip-ring sensors. The maintenance free, long term reliability advantages of the contactless signal transmission do not come at a premium price but at around the same cost as slip-ring types. The Kistler Type 4520A, a strain gauge torque sensor for use at speeds up to 10,000 rpm (ten thousand rpm), is available in ten ranges from 1 to 1,000 Nm all with ±10 V analogue signal output, a TTL speed signal at 60 pulses/rev, an overload capacity of 150% and an external 100% range check input are all standard.

self-contained Hodge Clemco blast-room with high- performance abrasive recovery system and sound insulation has expanded finishing facilities for specialist castings produced by Furniss & White Foundries in South Yorkshire. Established in 1980, Furniss & White manufactures bespoke castings in carbon and stainless steels and nickel- based alloys for the oil, gas, marine and defence industries.


The new Hodge Clemco blast-room has a chamber 3 metres long x 3 metres wide x 3 metres high designed for three-tonne castings to be delivered by fork lift truck. The floor incorporates a mechanism that sweeps used abrasive to the input end of a separator system where contaminants, fines and dust are removed. A magnetic separator has also been included to remove ferrous material. Clean abrasive is returned to a three-tonne-capacity storage hopper that automatically refills the blast machine.
