ROBUST FLOWMETER FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESS AND CONTROL
esigned to IP65 standards, the Process Atrato®
ultrasonic flowmeter from Titan
Enterprises is built to address the more challenging industrial process and control environments. Rated for use up to 65°C and 20 bar pressure, the compact Process Atrato®
is available
in 4 models operating over flow ranges from 2ml/ min to 15litres/min, featuring an accuracy of ±1% over the whole flow range. Each Process Atrato®
is
calibrated with a pre-set ‘K’ factor so all meters of the same flow range are fully interchangeable simplifying assembly and set-up procedures for OEM manufacturers looking to integrate the flowmeter into their process and control set-up. The advanced Atrato® signal processing system permits flow measurement across
the whole Reynolds number range allowing both viscous and non-viscous products to be metered anywhere. Durably constructed from 316 stainless steel and PEEK, and incorporating Titan’s proprietary ultrasonic flowmeter technology, the Process Atrato® offers reduced cost of ownership compared to existing flow measurement devices used in the process and control market.

SICK LAUNCHES COST-CUTTING REAL-TIME ENERGY MONITORING OF COMPRESSED AIR
A
s manufacturers face rising energy bills, SICK has launched
the FTMg with Monitoring App, an Industry 4.0 solution that helps them see the data they need to reduce energy consumption through better control of compressed air. The SICK FTMg with Monitoring App
enables production and maintenance teams to monitor compressed air continuously so they can reduce leaks, improve operating efficiency, and cut costs.
Compressed air is the ‘fourth utility’ of manufacturing. According to the British Compressed Air Society, it accounts for 10% of energy use in a typical operation and rises to 30% in heavy use industries. Using data from strategically-positioned
SICK FTMg flow meters, the cloud-based SICK FTMg Monitoring App visualises a wealth of both real-time and historic data about compressed air usage. It enables continuous energy management, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of compressed air systems from any internet- enabled device.
Targeted Energy Reduction The SICK FTMg with Monitoring App is a scalable system that can target the compressed air energy use of individual machine cells through to entire production or logistics halls. With no programming needed, it can quickly start visualising continuous compressed air data in a way that is easy to use and interpret. As well as enabling more sustainable use of resources, the data insights support better operational efficiency and help achieve reduced carbon targets, contribute towards ISO50001 Energy Management certification or compliance with the UK Government’s Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). Darren Pratt, SICK’s UK Product Manager for Industrial Instrumentation explains: “Compressed air is one of the biggest consumers of energy in manufacturing and logistics, and costs are skyrocketing. Many production teams are currently restricted to conducting periodic spot checks, and all too-often, not enough is known about where leaks are, or which machines are the biggest consumers. “We are already seeing how early adopters of the FTMg Monitoring App are gaining remarkable, and sometimes unexpected, insights. They have been able, for example, to make start-up and shutdown management of processes and machines more efficient, improve compressor control and manage peak loads.”

ELECTROSERV EXPANDS INTO THE SOUTH WITH 6-FIGURE INVESTMENT
Electroserv has invested £250,000 in flagship calibration facility and service hub in the south of England.
To meet the needs of process industry customers throughout
the country, Electroserv has launched a new service hub, which comprises a wet flow calibration rig and electrical, temperature and pressure calibration facilities, as well as meeting and office space. The new facility is Electroserv’s second dedicated calibration
centre in the UK. Simon Fisher, Electroserv Managing Director commented: “The new hub houses our flagship flowrig which is part of our collaboration with Endress+Hauser. The flagship rig is the most accurate calibration system in the UK, and the state-of-the-art facility will ensure compliance with marginal process interruption for our customers. “We’re committed to integrating sustainable, agile processes to
our operations. Expanding into the south of England will mean our customers’ instruments will spend less time in transit, and therefore reduce the amount of travel and ultimately the associated carbon footprint.” Simon continued: “In just half an hour, instruments can be fitted,
tested and removed. The system is also fully programmable to accommodate the vast range of requirements our customers expect from a flagship facility,” which includes:
• Flowmeter sizes up to 3-inch diameter • Flow rates from 0.001m3/hr to 80m3/hr • Measurement uncertainty of ±0.1% o.r. • Pressure ranges from -1bar to 100bar • Temperature ranges from -30oC to 1600oC • UKAS accreditation to ISO 17025 • Certificate of calibration supplied
The Bramley calibration facility has also provided opportunities for employment in Basingstoke and beyond, with 6 jobs created, covering a variety of roles including technicians, engineers, marketing and sales.
