Mazet Presents Portable Fluidic Measuring Station

Mazet is exhibiting a portable fluidic measuring station at this year's Sensor and Test exhibition, which runs until 9 June. According to the company, which can be found in Booth 12-322, the new device uncovers the smallest differences in colour and transmission changes. Dr Fred Grunert, managing director at Mazet, said: 'Developed in co-operation with the medical technology and biotechnology departments at the University of Applied Sciences Jena, we will present the first prototype of an opto-fluidic measuring station using the Jencolor colour sensor at the trade show.

'With this measuring unit, you can quickly verify for which applications the Jencolor sensors are suited. 'Moreover, the measuring system shows that the multispectral sensors from Mazet are excellently qualified for a broad range of applications,' he added. The station's modular construction ensures flexibility, making a variety of measuring tasks possible. The measuring station is controlled using a PC-supported user interface. A transportable demo case is available that can be used for all measuring modes; this makes it possible to demonstrate the system's capabilities at the client's site.

Up to six substances are available in parallel for testing sample measurements, which are combined by a micro mixer. By means of an integrated micro pump, a variable mix can be created or temporally controlled and varying material flow can be produced. Its arrangement enables the analysis of small spectral changes not visible to the naked eye by means of a multispectral sensor.

The description of the measuring process is continuously displayed by the monitor software. The core of the measuring station is a variably configurable flow-through chamber that is adapted to the current measuring task and can be selected by the sensors. With this design, every sensor in the flow-through chamber is assigned a measuring point.

The array of analysis points are perfused with the analyte mix. The advantage of the design lies in the compact and low-cost shape, which is achieved by the use of an MMCS6 multispectral sensor and its adaption into a complete analytical system. The basis of the measurements is the detection of colour or the transmission changes of the media being examined.

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.
