YOKOGAWA EXPANDS ITS CALIBRATION AND FIELD SUPPORT SERVICES
As equipment becomes more complex and schedules more demanding, users need to maximise plant efficiency and return on assets. Maintaining the accuracy of instrumentation through timely and consistent calibration plays an essential role in achieving these objectives. So, partnering with global service
providers Intertek and Proserv, Yokogawa is now offering a comprehensive range of calibration services both on- and off-shore. This service, the company explains, includes Yokogawa instrumentation and third-party manufacturer’s products and covers pressure, temperature, flow and liquid/gas
analysers. UKAS accredited calibrations will be carried out at testing laboratories across the UK. All Yokogawa’s calibrations are traceable, with calibration certificates supplied for all instrumentation tested, plus details of the test equipment used.

TRESCAL OPENS UKAS ACCREDITED ROTARY TABLE MEASUREMENT TESTING FACILITY
Trescal has officially opened the doors to what it claims is the UK’s only UKAS accredited rotary table Measurement Testing facility. The facility at Pride Park in Derby cost over £2million to build and
features a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with rotary table measurement which offers measurement volumes of 2.1 x 4.4 x 1.6m. As a result, the CMM allows component parts of up to 10 metric tonnes to be measured, a benefit for the aerospace and automotive industries. There is also a second CMM that offers a measurement performance capability (MPE) of 0.0009mm+L/650mm. The site features six laboratories, all operating under strict
climatic conditions, in order to meet rigorous standards set by UKAS. There are 46 employees here, offering a variety of technical capabilities including dimensional, electrical, temperature, pressure & vacuum, and torque type calibrations, supported by product verification measurements.
NEW TRAINING COURSES COVER EMF REGULATIONS
Link Microtek has set up a one-day training course covering the requirements of the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work (CEMFAW) Regulations 2016, which came into force on 1st July as the transposition of EU Directive 2013/35/EU into UK law. The course will cover such

VOC MONITORS USED FOR GAS DETECTION
Test and measurement equipment is an integral part of the instrumentation industry. As such, this month we’ve included a Supplement in the centre of this issue focusing solely on this topic. Here you will find not only examples of the latest products, but application stories and technical articles on new technologies – including the challenges of high temperature vibration measurement, and the trend for ‘green’ instruments and test equipment. Dedicated supplements
are an important part of Instrumentation magazine and we include them frequently throughout the year – but are there any new areas you would like us to look at? Send an email to:

Ion Science has provided 12 TVOC fixed volatile organic compound (VOC) monitors as part of a tender by its distributor, Amos Gazit, for the design, supply and installation of a complete gas detection solution at hazardous materials logistics handling company, Israel-based Globus. Ra’anan Katz from Amos Gazit
said: “There are a wide range of hazardous materials that require monitoring at the Globus facility. With potential VOCs such as Toulene, Heptane, Dioxane, Tetrahydrofuran, Dimethyl, Formamide and Dichloromethane, we were quick to recommend the Ion Science TVOC fixed PID as a robust, reliable and accurate leak detection solution for this application.”

topics as basic principles of electromagnetic energy, the effects of EMFs on the human body, the main provisions of the CEMFAW Regulations, EMF risk assessments, workers at particular risk, exposure limit values and action levels, provisions aimed at avoiding or reducing risks, and real-world case studies. It can be held in-house at Link Microtek, at customers’ premises, or at any other location equipped with basic presentation aids. There is also a half-day EMF safety awareness course for workers in the telecommunications, broadcast, defence, medical, scientific and industrial sectors, which fulfils the regulations’ requirement for EMF worker training; and a course on EMF safety measurements.

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the latest MEAS wireless pressure transducers from TE Connectivity (TE) – the Microfused line of M5600 wireless pressure transducers and the UltraStable line of U5600 wireless pressure transducers. These 24-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) pressure and temperature sensors eliminate the need for hard wiring by providing wireless remote process control and monitoring through Bluetooth 4.0 communication. Both transducers are available
in a broad assortment of port configurations, and are targeted toward many types of RF wireless and sensor-based applications.

ASHTEAD STOCKS ATEX CRAWLERS AND CAMERAS
In response to demand, Ashtead Technology has invested heavily in the latest ATEX certified remote control crawlers and push-rod cameras. The new purchases include multiple units of the latest inspection equipment such as EX versions of the iPEK Rovion Crawler and the iPEK Agilios Push Rod Camera, which are both Zone 1 certified. The Zone 2 certified Minicam Proteus crawler has also been added to the fleet. Ashtead’s sales manager, Jay Neermul,
commented: “Increasingly, drain inspection and remediation contractors are being required to offer services in potentially explosive atmospheres, so we have expanded the fleet to include a selection of camera systems for both zone 1 and zone 2 operation.”
