HPC- HIGH PERFORMANCE CORIOLIS FROM KOBOLD
I
t is common practice to use single pipe coriolis flow meters to measure very small
flow rates. This however causes a dramatic increase in the influence of external interferences, often necessitating a costly decoupling. The weight influence of the sensor coils compared to the weight of the measuring pipes is significant and due to the mechanical measurement principle the relation of the pipe diameter to the weight of the sensor coils primarily defines the limits of the construction. As the first worldwide, we have pierced these limits by providing a coriolis sensor
concept with sensor coils mounted between, rather than on the pipes. Extremely lightweight magnets are mounted onto the pipes. This provides the sensor with a significantly noise-reduced and predictable dynamic behaviour, capable of working at higher frequencies, so further decoupling the sensors measurement from external vibrations. Furthermore, up to 4 sensor coils are positioned between the pipes, increasing the
resolution accordingly. With these characteristics, the new HPC Coriolis Sensor is therefore not only extremely accurate, but also particularly resistant against external interferences.

VBOX TEST SUITE T
together with the various modules, inertial units, and displays that accompany and enhance them, has led to their extensive use within virtually every sector of the automotive testing industry. To accompany the hardware,
Racelogic supply a software package, VBOX Test Suite, that significantly enhances the versatility of their data-loggers in constant use the world over. Developed based on extensive feedback from engineers who use a VBOX every day at the sharp end of vehicle development, the ethos behind the software is to significantly reduce the time it takes to conduct specific tests to exacting modern standards, and therefore caters to specialised applications as well as to more general testing.

INDUSTRIAL GRADE INTEL NUC FORMAT RUGGED SYSTEM
B
VM Limited has announced availability of the Jetway JBC311U93 industrial grade NUC format embedded system. Based on the Intel Celeron 7.5W TDP Bay-Trail M Quad-Core SOC
processor clocked at 1.83 to 2.16 GHz and with up to 8 GB of DDR3L-1333 DRAM, it is housed in a rugged 110 x 116 x 49 mm aluminium enclosure. It offers fanless operation and long-term operational life, with a minimum planned lifecycle of Q1 2029. While potential applications are very broad, the unit is particularly suitable for systems where physically harsh operating environments, restricted access and long-term reliability are primary considerations. It offers impressive computing power combined with extensive I/O capability and support for dual 1920 x 1200 HDMI displays, driven by Intel Gen 7 HD Graphics. It is available in two standard versions: with or without 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0. The unit without Wi-Fi capability provides a half-size Mini-PCIe slot. Both versions have a full-size 3 GB/s mSATA Slot, two Gigabit LAN ports, four USB ports
and a RS232/422/485 serial port. A wall mount, VESA bracket and DIN rail mountings are included as standard, giving extensive mounting flexibility, ideal for control room mounting or hiding away inside a larger machine. The unit is powered from an external 36W 12 VDC PSU and it has support for both Windows and Linux OS.

GRAS SOUND & VIBRATION, THE WORLD LEADER IN AUTOMOTIVE ACOUSTIC SENSORS
recently launched two new microphones, the GRAS 147AX CCP Rugged Pressure Microphone for engine noise testing and the GRAS 147EB CCP X-Rugged Microphone for wheelhouse brake noise testing. Together with the versatile GRAS 146AE CCP Free-field microphone, GRAS now has the strongest and most comprehensive range of microphones for all automotive NVH applications. The 147AX CCP Rugged Pressure Microphone has been developed together with Volvo Cars in Sweden. It is a surface microphone optimized for cold and hot engine noise testing allowing for more efficient testing and repeatable measurements. Furthermore, it introduces a revolutionizing form factor, which together with a unique mounting system and new measurement methods ensures accurate and reliable data. The 147EB CCP X-Rugged Microphone Set is an extremely robust microphone specially designed and optimized for on-road brake noise testing. The microphone has a three-layer protection of the diaphragm and has been tested with Volkswagen in Germany where it has undergone more than 10,000 miles of on-road testing on all surfaces and in all weather conditions.

CUSTOM-ASSEMBLED LEVEL SENSORS WITH GUIDED MICROWAVE
E
GE offers to configure level controllers with guided microwave according to
customer specifications. Based on its proven standard level gauge, the German manufacturer is able to adapt the sensors to suit various tank geometries, mounting conditions, or demanding media in no time. Options include angled probes that can be mounted on the side of tanks. EGE employs special materials such as Hastelloy or titanium to manufacture probes for use in aggressive media. EGE also specifically adapts the sensors to dielectric constants and to the temperature ranges of the liquid to be measured to ensure precise results in challenging media and cramped installation conditions. Sensor specialist EGE offers to custom-configure level controllers with guided
microwave
