Process Analyser Offers Application Flexibility

The Applikon Analytical ADI 2040 process analyser from Metrohm is a multipurpose wet chemical analyser designed to offer flexibility and withstand harsh environments. The analyser uses techniques including titration, colorimetry and dynamic standard addition with ion-selective electrodes. The analyser's rugged hardware and the possibility to do automatic calibration and cleaning result in a 99.5 per cent up-time, according to Metrohm.

Its versatility allows the incorporation of multiple analyses and multiple sample streams on one analyser, resulting in low cost per analysis/sample. The controller makes it possible to run up to three independent analyses simultaneously. Reagent usage is minimised by using low-volume measuring cells. The ADI 2040 has a modular wet part with 20 uniform positions for a variety of modules and accessories. It can be adapted to almost any application.

In the electronic part, the same modular concept is used, so that the I/O cards for control of the wet part and external communication (maximum 20) can be configured to the needs of the user. The ADI 2040 can be loaded with several analysis packages by flash card and can therefore be adapted to specific process analysis requirements. The ADI 2040 can handle four (different) electrodes or sensors; extension to eight is possible. The possibility to choose a combination of methods means that in many cases one single ADI 2040 will fulfil all analysis requirements.

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.
