installation, data acquisition, and analysis of electrical as well as optical strain gauges - namely those based on Fiber Bragg Grating technology (FBG) -, provides users with an easy and intuitive step-by-step guide. Strain gauges have been around for almost 80 years


and continue to be key assets for measuring fatigue and testing materials for productivity and safety reasons. However, when it comes to strain measurement, businesses and asset owners can sometimes feel intimidated due to a lack of information, or even information overload and might give up their attempts to learn more about this topic.

BM is pleased to announce the launch of its new Online Guide to Strain Measurement which contains a wealth


ugged and highly visible when you need strong, robust protection for your enclosure. Available in blue, orange and


red, these protective boots come in 2 styles and 8 sizes making them a perfect fit for many of our handheld enclosures. Held secure in the boot – essential when you need extra


protection – the enclosure is easy to remove. Compatible enclosures are available in various sizes, with or without battery compartment, recessed or flush top, and some with removable end panels plus optional sealing gasket to achieve IP65 rating. Enclosures can be modified to your exact requirements with CNC machining, screen printing and EMI/RFI shielding. Cut outs for the protective boot may also be made to your exact specifications.

New world record for mercury emissions monitor Q


uantitech, the UK subsidiary of Gasmet Technologies, is delighted to announce that the Gasmet Continuous Mercury Monitoring system (CMM) is the first


instrument to be certified for monitoring at the low levels required by industry and regulators. In the past, low concentration levels in industrial emissions have represented a challenge to monitoring technology, and instruments have been unable to monitor at the low levels that are required, but this certification means that, at last, monitoring technology is available that will enable effective regulations to be implemented in the fight against global mercury pollution. The Gasmet CMM has successfully completed EN15267-3 testing and now


provides the world’s lowest certified range for continuous Mercury monitoring. The instrument operates across a number of different ranges up to 1000  but importantly, the lowest range is 0 to 5 .

Combating RTD failure due to strong vibrations


E


ndress+Hauser’s iTherm StrongSens sensor cuts replacement costs and improves safety. Processes with high vibrations caused by pumps, compressors and


turbines, for example, can often lead to premature failure of temperature sensors and increased operational costs as sensors need to be replaced more frequently. More worryingly, unreliable temperature monitoring on rotating parts (such as bearings) can lead to a safety risk through overheating of equipment. Conventional thin film RTD inserts traditionally house a measuring element embedded in a ceramic powder. This typically provides vibration resistance up to 3g across a frequency range of 10Hz to 500Hz – the required tolerance detailed within IEC 60751. Unlike conventional thin film RTDs, Endress+Hauser’s robust iTherm StrongSens RTDs are sealed in a special ceramic potting compound that ensures the filling is free from voids or gaps. This results in significant improvements to mechanical stability and increased vibration resistance up to 60g: 20 times that of a normal RTD. This increased resistance to the effects of vibration leads to reduced failure rates of temperature sensors and in turn a reduction in plant downtime and the cost of instrument repairs as well as increased plant safety.

JB Instruments (UK) Ltd have teamed up with Data Physics


(UK) Ltd and Kemo Ltd to offer a technically focused training day covering the whole vibration measurement process from accelerometer through DAQ and signal processing. The presentations will be underpinned with practical demonstrations and the day will also be accompanied by a small exhibition, Q&A Forum and will finish with a factory tour of the UK’s only factory making test & measurement PE accelerometers, a truly unique opportunity.


Who should attend?


This course is aimed at existing vibration and NVH engineers, experienced engineers, new users, specifiers and product designers from automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial and sports science fields. The training is presented by 3 engineers with over 100 years of combined experience in vibration testing and signal processing, their experience of typical pitfalls to be avoided and best practice, will be brought to the fore to encourage delegates to questions their current processes for the better.


Where and how much will it cost?


The course is to be held at The Riverside House Hotel, Mildenhall Suffolk, the cost including refreshments throughout the day, lunch, full course notes is just £100+VAT per delegate, for delegates travelling from further afield, a discount B&B rate has been arranged with the hotel.
