New Smartec I²C / USB infrared sensor module
temperature measurement let you measure a target surface from a distance without touching it. At MMS-e we have been supplying thermopile sensors for many years and are very aware of the complexity of the development.

MS Electronics has introduced the new Smartec SMT-IRIMOD09 infrared module.
Infrared The SMT-IRMOD09 infra red
modules allow immediate temperature readings. All modules are fitted with I²C interface. When ordering the SMT-AS02I2, I²C to USB converter the sensor connects directly to a PC. Both the object temperature and ambient temperature are made available in 0.01ºC resolution. No additional power supply is required when using the USB port. Various modules are available for different application, supply voltage 3V and 5V, fields of view from 14º to 120º. The SMT-IRMOD09micro module is only 15.5 x 8.5mm and the SMT-IRMOD09SIL is 34 x 16 mm.

pirax SafeBloc™ Double Block and Bleed valves have helped SCA Hygiene in Prudhoe,
in
Northumberland, to eliminate unscheduled boiler shutdowns costing up to £20,000 each in lost production. SCA Hygiene runs a 24/7 process, producing branded tissue. It is the company’s practice
to only carry out maintenance work on a live steam system behind double block and bleed isolation. The company frequently suffered minor problems with blocked level gauge glasses on its boilers. However, because only single isolation valves were fitted to the gauge glasses, the boiler had to be shut down and depressurised to enable maintenance engineers to fix the problem safely, halving production output for up to 10 hours. Double block and bleed (DBB) is the industry’s best practice for double isolation for safe maintenance without having to shut down the entire system. Double isolation is achieved by closing two isolation valves, with the intermediate bleed valve being left open to provide a sealing integrity check to ensure the downstream pipeline remains safely isolated during maintenance work.
