Swagelok Extends Line Of Thermometers Thermowells

Swagelok has introduced a range of bimetal thermometers and thermowells for general industry applications. The products expand Swagelok's existing line of temperature measurement devices, which includes thermometers and thermowells for sanitary applications. The dampened-movement bimetal thermometers operate in measurement ranges from -100F to +1,000F (-70C to +540C) and are available in adjustable-angle, centre-back and lower-back mount process connections.

Every Swagelok thermometer is factory calibrated. In addition, the products feature external reset for field calibration. The dampened-movement bimetal thermometers are accurate to +/-1 per cent of full scale in accordance with ASME B40.200 and are actuated by a sensitive bimetal helix coil. Silicone-free gel in the thermometer stem dampens vibration effects. To prevent fogging and moisture damage to working components, the dials are hermetically sealed.

Swagelok thermowells for general industry are designed to protect the thermometers from contact with viscous, pressurised, corrosive or abrasive process fluids. They also enable the removal of thermometers for replacement or service without affecting the process or system. Swagelok thermowells feature standard 304 stainless-steel construction and 316 stainless-steel construction upon request. The product is available in straight, reduced and tapered shaft designs. Instrument connections include 1/2in female NPSM straight and female G1/2B connections.

Process connections include flange, sanitary clamp, threaded and weld socket in 1/2in to 2in sizes. Thermowells for sanitary applications are 3-A compliant. Headquartered in Solon, Ohio, Swagelok is a developer and provider of fluid system solutions, including products, assemblies and services for the research, instrumentation, pharmaceutical, oil-and-gas, power, petrochemical, alternative-fuel and semiconductor industries.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
