THE CRITICAL, AND SAFETY-CRITICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS
M
ost people do not really know what vapour
permeability is – but it controls everything from the shelf life of food to the safety of petrol tanks. It also controls dampness in buildings, the potency of pharmaceuticals, rust, the effectiveness of O rings, the quality of printing and much, much more across almost every area there is. Billions of pounds a year are lost each year because of it. Materials, such as oxygen and water vapour can simply flow through solid barriers
when they are in their gaseous state and this, vapour permeability, is one of the most critical and safety critical properties of any material. Versaperm is a technology leader in this field and its range of equipment measures this property to find solutions for problems.

VERSATILE AND CERTIFIED FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS
T
rafag's ECTN 8477 pressure transmitter is certified for marine applications by DNV-GL with EU RO
mutual recognition type approval. This certificate is recognised by all major classification societies: ABS, BV, CCS, CRS, IRS, KR, LR, ClassNK, PRS, RINA and RS. The ECTN 8477, based on a ceramic sensor, is a very versatile pressure transmitter with measuring ranges from 0… 100 mbar up to 0…250 bar, relative and absolute measurement and a range of corrosion resistant materials to choose from, including AISI316L, Duplex steel 1.4462 and titanium.
Marine Approval EU RO MR by DNV-GL
MRC stands for Mutual Recognition Certificate, often also referred to as MR TAC (Mutual Recognition Type Approval Certificate): One classification society evaluates the product and assesses the conformity with the respective specifications, and this organization also issues the MRC certificate. The MR TAC is intended to enable Mutual Recognition (MR) of certain type approved products, through the uniform application of MR Technical Requirements, to enable those products to be installed on board of ships for which MR TACs are issued by one or more of the EU ROs.

NSMANN manufacture all types of rechargeable and primary cell battery packs (NiMH, Lithium and Alkaline) both in hard and soft cases, designed and produced
he new, smart and uniquely compact Laser Doppler Speed and Length Sensor - SL and SLR
that sets new standards in non-contact speed and length measurement of moving objects and materials in industrial applications. Designed to replace cumbersome, inaccurate and high-wear contact wheel encoders that are prone to excessive measurement errors due to slippage, vibration, wear and dirt, resulting in product give- away and quality issues. The non-contact laser technology provides an industry leading accuracy of +/-0.05% without need to ever re-calibrate due to wear. The internal measurement rate is 200kHz with one measurement output every 20 microseconds. Communication is via Ethernet, RS-232, Wifi or bus options. Plus a complete range of installation accessories including anti-vibration mounts, display units, temperature and dust control. Full technical support on the sensor and laser safety is available from TTS Systems. So, if you have a speed or length measurement application contact us - 01233 624422 or sales@tts-

parts involving over one million units. And OEMs remain at risk, mostly due to pressures of supply and demand. Ideally, OEMs would simply buy directly from the component manufacturers or their authorised
C
distributors, where the supply chain is clearly visible and trustworthy. However, component shortages, whether due to product discontinuation or other reasons, can drive them to use other, unauthorised, channels, where lack of traceability can give counterfeits an opportunity to enter the supply chain. Counterfeits can take many forms. Some, although correctly functional, are standard components sold as
higher specification types. Others are relabelled, so their visible legend bears no relation to their internal functionality – if any functionality at all exists. Yet more may be the right parts, but with manufacturing faults. The correctly functional types represent the biggest threat to OEMs, because they could well pass factory tests, only to fail in service, with possibly catastrophic consequences for both user and supplier. As an independent inspection and test solution provider, Cupio offers two industry leading counterfeit
detection technology solutions. Both are effective defence tools, but, together, they provide a comprehensive ability to detect counterfeits, whether their functionality is right but inadequate, wrong, failed, or non-existent. The first involves X-ray inspection while the other uses electrical testing.
X-ray inspection
Cupio supplies Nordson DAGE’s Explorer™ one system for component X-ray inspection solutions. It allows users to quickly and easily see inside incoming components, and compare the results with known good images. Cupio
