HIGH ACCURACY DIGITAL TEMPERATURE SOLUTIONS
M
MS Electronics improves temperature measurement
accuracy without difficulty. The Smartec SMT172 is a complete digital ultra-low power, factory calibrated, high accuracy sensor with pulse width modulated output signal. PWM output sensors offer have high noise immunity and high reference accuracy. They are easy to interface and can easy be multiplexed. The duty cycle is proportional to the measured temperature. Inaccuracy is 0.1 ºC in the range of -10ºC to 100ºC with a -45ºC min. and +130ºC max. with very low noise of 0.0001ºC. When adding a RC network the sensor can also be used as an analogue sensor. Designed for supply voltage 3V, 3.3V and 5V. The full voltage range is from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This is the most energy efficient temperature sensor in the world with an average current of < 60uA or 220nA based on 1 measurement per second. Application are found in wearables, scientific, environmental, medical or industrial measurements.

MONITORING CO2 CONCENTRATIONS IN PIG AND POULTRY PROCESSING
O
ver recent years, there has been increasing
concern for raising welfare standards in meat processing. This covers not just the animal’s environment and diet but also the procedures used in the slaughtering process. To ensure that an animal
is insensitive to pain while being slaughtered, a European Union directive requires that all animals are stunned prior to slaughter. There is one exception for animals killed at slaughterhouses in a manner in keeping with religious rites. Several methods can be used to render the animal unconscious, including electrical stunning, mechanical stunning or through the use of gas. In their latest article, Edinburgh Sensors discusses animal processing and the options available for livestock stunning and slaughter.

PORTABLE CALIBRATOR MEASURES PRESSURES UP TO 10,000 BAR
W
ith the CPH7000 portable process calibrator, high-pressure measuring
instruments can now also be tested in the field: This multifunction instrument is the first hand-held from WIKA that records measured values of up to 10,000 bar. For such measuring tasks, the portable calibrator uses the WIKA CPT7000 high- pressure sensor as an external reference. Its rupture-proof, thin-film cell is not welded. It is inserted tightly into a tapered pressure channel and is thus also insensitive to dynamic pressure profiles. Through the combination with this sensor, the already broad range of applications for the CPH7000 is expanded even further. The calibrator is a portable multifunction instrument with an integrated electrical module, a hand pump to generate test pressures up to 25 bar and a high-performance data logger.

GET UP TO SPEED WITH THE LATEST FREE MEASUREMENT WEBINARS FROM HBM
pleased to announce the dates for its latest series of free measurement technology webinars, which take place on the 19th – 21st September 2018. Designed to fit in with the

challenging time constraints which can often make attending relevant training courses difficult, the latest webinars from HBM provide advice and focus on a variety of topics. As stricter rules on emissions for marine engines make it more difficult for the
industry to remain cost effective, better load measurements can help to ensure that ships adhere to the new standards while remaining competitive. With this in mind, Guy Beaho, Business Development Manager at HBM puts forward some viable solutions on how to reduce emissions and save costs through precise load measurements in “Reducing Emissions through Load Measurements in Marine Applications”, which takes place on 19th September at
9.am (GMT).
HBM NEW GUIDE EXPLAINS HOW TO ACHIEVE A HEALTHY
MEASUREMENT SYSTEM Top tips for accurate and reliable measurement revealed by new ‘How to’ guide
key factors to consider when assessing the operational performance of measurement equipment. Available at
http://bit.ly/HealthcheckGuide, the guide covers a range of topics, including why, how and when instruments should be calibrated to ensure they are delivering accurate measurement. Many users mistakenly assume that the calibrated accuracy of an instrument will endure throughout its operational life, potentially resulting in incorrect measurements that could have a major impact on production and profitability. The section explains how to create an effective calibration regime and how to spot when an instrument may need recalibration. The guide also provides advice on the new possibilities being unlocked by advances in instrument technology, particularly when it comes to the availability of diagnostic data. The latest generation of smart digital instruments, coupled with developments in communication technology such as WirelessHART, have helped to unlock new possibilities for gaining quick and easy access to an expanded range of instrument data. Foremost amongst these is the ability to obtain a clearer picture of what is happening in a process. The ability to convey a greater range of data from a device at faster speeds over a digital network enables real or near real-time data to be obtained on process conditions, which can then be used to identify areas for possible improvement. Other topics covered include guidance on inspecting instruments to check for deteriorating performance and tips for designing and implementing safety instrumented systems in critical safety applications.
