Asynt Offers Compact Laboratory Reaction System

Asynt has introduced the Reactomate Compact, a small, safe and stable laboratory reaction system for process development and other chemistry applications. Designed to complement the Reactomate Standard and Super Support systems, the compact model accommodates jacketed reactors from 50ml to 5,000ml and delivers precise control of reaction variables to mimic conditions in larger plant vessels. The Reactomate Compact is constructed using stainless steel components for high stability and the standard operating temperature range is -60C to +190C.

Larger vessels - 3,000-5,000ml - can be supported at the bottom as well as at the top for superior strength and safety. Setup is said to be simple and the space-saving design is claimed to ensure that the unit takes up as little space as possible in a standard fume cupboard while providing convenient access to the reaction vessel. The facility to adjust height during operation means that additions can be made easily and space is allowed for draining the vessel contents. The Reactomate Compact is part of a programme that includes a stand, a choice of single- and double-jacketed vessels (glass, steel, Hastelloy or PTFE), and ancillary equipment.

Heating/cooling circulators are available to match customer specifications and overhead stirrers with flexible coupling options can also be provided. In order to overcome problems arising when optimising and scaling-up laboratory processes, Asynt reaction vessels can be manufactured with the benefit of an evaluation of agitation by Innovative Physical Organic Solutions.

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.
