MCERTS key to emissions monitors’ rental popularity
Q
uantitech has reported a surge in demand for its rentable emissions analysers. Dominic Duggan
says: “This is undoubtedly for two reasons; firstly, the two main analysers are MCERTS approved and secondly, they are both transportable and simple to carry from site to site.” The two most popular instruments are a portable MCERTS approved FTIR multigas analyser; the Gasmet DX4000, and an MCERTS approved heated FID. The FTIR technology enables users to monitor up to 50 gases simultaneously. While the DX4000 FTIR is able to measure almost any compound, the MCERTS certificate relates to the measurement of CO, NO, H2O, SO2, HCl, NH3, NO2, N2O, CO2, O2 and HF. This instrument is also capable of monitoring speciated organics but an MCERTS approved FID is currently required for Total Organic Compounds (TOC).

New MEMS Micro-Spectrometer
amamatsu Photonics introduces the latest development within its MEMS spectrometer range; the C12880MA, an ultra-compact, fingertip size spectrometer head offering wider spectral response and high sensitivity over the UV to visible range. The new C12880MA offers a spectral range of 340 – 850 nm and a sensitivity two orders of magnitude higher than the original C12666MA Micro- Spectrometer, which won the 2015 Prism Award for detectors and sensors at Photonics West 2015. The new high-sensitivity C12880MA also offers 12 nm resolution, a high speed video rate of 5 MHz and incorporates a trigger function and a CMOS sensor with 288 pixels (14 x 200 um pixel size). Realised by utilising Hamamatsu MEMS and image sensor technologies, the spectrometer measures only 20.1 × 12.5 × 10.1 mm in size, making it ideal for portable measurement devices (including compatibility with smartphones and tablets) in applications such as colour monitoring, LED testing, water quality monitoring and other environmental measurement instruments.

PCB® Introduces Water and Dust Resistant Test and Measurement Microphone PCB®
has released a new 1/2" microphone and preamplifier system, the
model 130A24. This array microphone has been specifically designed for use in applications where moisture, oil splash and contamination are a concern. Typical applications include brake and tyre noise, industrial machinery and environmental noise, leak detection and general purpose acoustic testing. The phase characteristics of this microphone are tailored for noise source location applications such as holography, beamforming, acoustic cameras and sound pressure mapping. Model 130A24 has a proprietary, replaceable water and dust resistant
cover which is an acoustically transparent protective cover and provides a less obtrusive alternative to windscreens and more consistent response than rubber covers.
Although the 130A24 is optimised for flat response in a free-field, its small size also provides an excellent response in pressure and diffuse field applications.
