Drop-Weight Tester for Pipes and Small Components

Instron's Ceast 9340 drop-weight tester is a floor-standing, compact impact test instrument suitable for applications such as tensile impact and penetration of plates and films. The instrument is designed to deliver impact energies from 0.30-405J (with falling weights ranging from 1.0-37.5kg). With a full range of accessories, the system is said to be well suited for testing of pipes and small components, and testing to Izod and Charpy. The standard model includes a conveniently mounted machine controller for operation of the test system.

In addition, the system can be equipped with the Ceast Visual Impact software. Among the features of the Ceast 9340 drop-weight tester are a 490mm-wide x 450mm-deep x 565mm-high, fully enclosed and interlocked test area protecting the operator from specimen fragments, a motorised crosshead positioning system, changeable tups and inserts, a full set of weights graduated in increments of 0.5kg and the capability of adding a temperature chamber.

For instrumented impact testing, the system can be extended with the Ceast data acquisition systems DAS Junior, DAS 16000 or DAS 65K. The Ceast 9340 drop-weight tester is a member of the Ceast 9300 family of impact testers designed for impact energies from 0.25-20.4J in the case of the model 9310 and from 0.59-1,800J in the case of the model 9350.

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.
