BESPOKE SENSORS - REPLICATING AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS
with testing of aircraft assemblies, reproducing aircraft flying conditions with force sensors to test complex structures replicating inflight loads. Test rig scale depends on the specimen size from complete aircraft structures to smaller sized assemblies or component level tests. There are often space restrictions that prohibit the use of

external sensors, so replicating a component can be the most sensible approach. This allows us to duplicate inflight loads with a custom-built sensor. Our approach starts with questions covering component

differential and absolute ranges are available from absolute of 1 torr to a gauge of 10,000 bar. Pressure reference instrumentation comes from leading manufactures such as Desgranges et Huot, Mensor, Budenberg, HBM, Furness Controls and Fluke for gauge and differential measurements and GE/Druck and MKS Baratron for vacuum and differential measurements. With the latest edition of the company’s high- pressure comparator and reference strain gauge sensors, pressure calibration capabilities now reach up to 10,000 bar, helping the UK supply base customers in the water jet cutting, hydraulic and diesel injector testing sectors. With the COVID-19 pandemic support now subsiding for our oxygen clean service support to the medical and NHS Trusts, the company is now able to offer all customers our Oxygen Clean Pressure Calibration facilities.

NEW OMRON MINIATURE SWITCHES IDEAL FOR WET OR DUSTY APPLICATIONS
exceptionally compact and flexible solution for applications exposed to water spray or high levels of dust. The new Omron D2GW is fully sealed to IP67 and can operate in temperatures of up to
O
85°C. It is set apart by its exceptionally small size (8.3mm × 6.5mm × 5.3mm) and is potentially the smallest switch of its type in the industry. D2GW is available in a wide variety of styles, with a choice of mounting structures, actuators and terminal specifications to maximise application flexibility. Omron has also announced a new version of its standard basic switch, the D2AW, also
sealed to IP67. Both the D2AW and the D2GW feature a unique sliding contact construction for quiet
operation and high contact reliability. Both also have double contacts, to improve reliability.

NEW, BFX3 COMPACT CLAMP-ON FLOW METERS AND HEAT METERS FOR LIQUID MEASUREMENT Q
uick and easy to install, even by non- trained operators, the clam-shell design
Clamp on ultrasonic flow meters are ideal for applications when system shut down is not feasible. These flow meters are non- intrusive and simply clamp on to the outside of the pipe without making contact with the internal fluid. They measure the time it takes for an ultrasonic signal transmitted, from one sensor to the other. The sound's "time of flight" is accurately measured in both directions and the
difference in time of flight calculated. The liquid velocity (V) inside the pipe can be related to the difference in time of flight (dt) through the following equation: V = K * D * dt, where K is a constant and D is the distance between the transducers
Features: • BFX3 Flow models and BEX3 Heat Meter versions
• DN15 to DN90 (9 models) • 24V DC Powered • 4-20mA Output and optional Pulse Output, Alarm Outputs • Modbus RS485 Communications • No need for tubes of ultrasonic grease, rulers and marker pens. • Clean, hassle-free installation • Pre-configured or In-Field adjustment possible • Suitable for various pipe material: Copper, Plastic, Steel, Iron and Stainless Steel • No moving parts or contact with the fluid • Suitable for aggressive liquids • Zero pressure loss imposed by this design • Can be relocated • Data logging and remote monitoring options available
These budget friendly clamp-on flow meters utilise the ultrasonic flow measurement
method ensuring quick and simple installation without the need to cut into existing pipe- work. It is not necessary to turn off the supply of water/liquid to install the product. It is also possible to supply this model with GPRS/GSM Data logging and remote access via cloud server.
Ultrasonic flow meters are now widely used in the industrial and building sectors.
Their simplicity and reliability has seen their widespread adoption throughout the world as an accurate and reliable method of quantifying liquid flow rate measurement and consumption. These flow meters can be used on a variety of pipe sizes or material, are non-invasive and therefore not prone to the levels of deterioration that are seen by intrusive flow meters.
