EDITOR'S CHOICE PRODUCTS NEW PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE TOOLS LAUNCHED
Agilent Technologies is entering the predictive maintenance market with the introduction of two new ranges to its handheld tools portfolio – the U5855A TrueIR thermal imager and the U1450A/60A Series of insulation resistance testers. Designed to allow engineers to identify potential faults without shutting down systems or
disrupting productivity, the lightweight thermal imager features Fine Resolution capability, which enhances the quality of thermal images by reconstructing the image based on multiple continuously captured infrared frames. The instrument can therefore achieve an effective resolution of 320 x 240 pixels from a 160 x 120 pixel detector. Also featured is a 4x digital zoom, enabling the imager to reveal finer details, especially when inspecting small cracks on industrial pipelines, even from a distance away. Suitable for single handed operation, users can easily change settings or access frequently used functions such as torch light and laser pointer, auto scaling or trigger with quick access buttons. It also has in-camera monitoring and analysis capabilities. For more in-depth analysis and report generation, engineers can use the TrueIR Analysis and Reporting Tool PC software, which can be downloaded free of charge. The U1450A/60A Series, meanwhile, are 1kV insulation resistance testers
that measure leakage current and insulation resistance for preventive maintenance applications, such as checking the integrity of windings or cables in motors, transformers and electrical installations. Certified to IP67, these are supplied with report-generation software and are compatible with the Agilent remote link solution, enabling wireless remote insulation testing. The Series offers two models with adjustable test voltage ranges from 10V to 1.1kV, with 1V step increments.
A two-in-one insulation tester model with a 4.5 digit full-featured digital multimeter is also available. Agilent Technologies

New from KROHNE are the compact IP67/65 OPTITEMP TRA-C10, TRA-C20 and TRA-C30 temperature sensors. These are pre-configured with an integrated transmitter to meet the most common requirements in terms of measuring range and immersion length, as well as process and electrical connections. Despite being aimed at
different applications, each model shares the same basic design, featuring a Pt100 class A sensor element and built- in analogue transmitter. These cover a temperature range from -50 to +150˚C (without integrated transmitter +200˚C) for liquid and gaseous mediums and offer accuracy to ±0.15% of measuring range. For immediate use, the measuring range is fixed and pre-configured to a 4…20mA output. The sensors come in standard immersion lengths of 50 or 100mm and have a short transmitter
response time which indicates changing process conditions very quickly and allows for immediate reaction. OPTITEMP TRA-C10 is an
hygienic compact temperature sensor aimed at OEM applications in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and sanitary industries. It comes with process connection ISO 2852 DN25/38, electrical connection is a standard M12
connection, and it can also be CIP cleaned. The TRA-C20 version is designed for general process applications. This has G1/2 process connection and standard electrical connection Valve EN 175301-803 for international markets. TRA-C30 has process connection G1/2 as standard and an M12 electrical connection.

A compact and rugged personal hand-arm vibration exposure meter has been launched by Svantek. The SV103 attaches to the operator’s arm and the lightweight MEMS accelerometer straps to the hand, making it the only device to accurately measure the vibration dose being received, the company claims. This also has an additional contact force transducer that measures whether the tool is being gripped correctly. Said to be easy to use, the
lightweight instrument meets ISO8041:2005 and is suitable for taking measurements in accordance with ISO5349 and European Directive 2002/44/EC. The instrument is said to significantly reduce
measurement uncertainty and is small enough to take daily vibration exposure measurements without interfering with normal working activities. The instrument offers 1/1 or 1/3 octave real-time
analysis and is powered using rechargeable batteries or through the USB 2.0 interface, with measurement data stored in the 8GB memory.
