ACCURATE, RELIABLE MEASUREMENTS WITH IN-LINE TURBIDITY SYSTEMS

uring a crystallisation process, determining the exact moment of saturation is central to achieving consistent product quality. The most critical stage of
the process is determining when saturation has been reached, with temperature rises halted too soon leading to poor API crystal formation, and if stopped too late, crystal formulation can be affected. Switching from eye determination to in- line turbidity systems can improve crystallisation efficiency and reduced costs. Zhejiang Guobang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. produces broad-spectrum
antibiotics, and are the largest supplier of Enrofloxacin in the world. They wanted an in-line turbidity monitoring system to indicate the precise moment that feeding the reactor and increasing temperature should be stopped. The solution METTLER TOLEDO installed comprises the InPro 8200 sensor and
compatible transmitter, providing a system that uses back-scattered light to detect the level of undissolved particles. Xiao Jinfeng, Technical Engineer added: “This system is user-friendly and easy to operate, and has minimum maintenance requirements such as cleaning and calibration. Operators became familiar with the system in very little time.”

HBM HELP MAXIMISE AIRCRAFT TEST TIME EFFECIENCY
pleased to announce its latest free webinar; “Maximising Test Time Efficiency in Aircraft Testing”, which will take place on September 18th 2018 at 9am (GMT). As different test types such as
H
structural, functional and wind tunnel testing grow, the need to both reduce the setup times and increase the efficiency of testing time is essential for economical processing. Split into 3 categories, “Maximising Test Time Efficiency in Aircraft Testing” will
provide an overview of the different aircraft test types addressed by HBM and discuss the demands associated with these. The webinar will also explain an example of a full testing solution undertaken by HBM for a major helicopter manufacturer and will conclude with a short live demonstration with a MGCPlus data acquisition system.

OKW EXTENDS EVOTEC RANGE TO FOUR SIZES
O
KW’s EVOTEC designer table-top electronic enclosures are now
available in a new smaller 100 size – increasing the range to four plan sizes. Ergonomic EVOTEC is elegant and comfortable to use – but tough enough for challenging working environments. Applications include measurement, control, medical, laboratory and environmental technology. It can also be wall mounted for access control. EVOTEC is available in two versions: one with a large flat top for switches and push buttons; the other with a 12° sloping top for keypad and displays. Screw pillars are provided inside for installing PCBs. Four rubber feet ensure stability on flat surfaces. The enclosures are assembled using anti-tamper Torx screws (ideal for medical electronics). EVOTEC cases are moulded from off white (RAL 9002) UV-stable ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) plastic. Prices start at £14. Accessories include an optional IP 65 seal, wall suspension elements and self-tapping screws for installing PCBs.
OKW can supply EVOTEC fully customised on request.

VECTOR SENSORS V
ector sensors measure the acoustic pressure and also particle acceleration in three orthogonal axes. The four sensing
elements are located in a single housing with a common acoustic phase centre. The four channels of the vector sensor, when combined, produce a cardoid directivity pattern having an improved signal to noise ratio over traditional omni-directional pressure sensors. In addition, the direction in which the sound wave is travelling can be determined from the measurements made at a single point.
Typical applications are Oil & Gas exploration, Marine wildlife monitoring, Acoustic research, Security and towed arrays.

HBM EXPANDS ITS RANGE OF STRAIN GAUGES WITH NEW KFU SERIES FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES
T
hrough its collaboration with the Japanese manufacturer
Kyowa Electronic Instruments, HBM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – is pleased to announce the arrival of its new KFU series of strain gauges for high temperatures of up to 350°C. Suitable for structural tests at exceptionally high temperatures, the latest series of KFU strain gauges are pre-wired and come equipped with a 1 meter long, high temperature protection cable. Available in grid lengths of 2 mm and 5 mm as well as in different versions, such as linear, T (with two measuring grids) or R (with three measuring grids) rosettes, depending on the application’s requirements, the KFU strain gauges are also available with temperature responses matched to steel, austenitic steel, and aluminium. The latest series of strain gauges can be used at high temperatures for specified durations; at 350 °C for 72 hours or at 300 °C for 360 hours.
