Event to Focus on Composites Design and Production

UK Tech Events has announced that the Composites Engineering Show will be hosted as part of the Advanced Engineering UK group of events at the NEC in Birmingham on 9-10 November 2011. The event will focus on composites design and manufacturing along with supply chain capability. This year's show is supported by Composites UK, the UK's representative industry body. Exhibitors are set to include Euroresins, Evonik, Crompton Technology Group, AMRC, Dynabrade, AH Composites, Alpha/Delta Composites and Huntsman.

'The outstanding uptake on stands at this year's event demonstrates the industry's appetite for a dedicated national networking, business development, technology solutions and transfer environment that is geared to the UK's diverse composites user industries, from high-volume consumer products through to high-performance advanced engineered products,' said event organiser Ian Stone. Attendees at the 2011 Composites Engineering Show will benefit from access to some 300 exhibiting organisations throughout the Composites show and the co-locating Aerospace, Energy and Plastic Electronics events at Advanced Engineering 2011.

In addition, attendees can sit in on a programme of free-to-attend industry-strategic and technology presentations from industry stakeholder and supplier groups. These include the Composites UK-hosted 'composites in industry' sessions, with feature sessions on the show floor for energy and renewables, medical and healthcare, transportation, marine, construction, automotive and performance sport and leisure.

Further free-to-attend show-floor programmes in the hall include daily Netcomposites-hosted technology sessions and, in the separate congress auditorium, the two-day parallel UK Composites Industry sector briefing, hosted by Composites UK and providing an overview of industry trends, the shape and direction of the UK composites industry , developing opportunity streams, challenges, technologies and skills 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.
