C440 New Heavy Industry Torque Measurement Tool

Datum Electronics the specialists in supplying torque measuring solutions have introduced another industry leading product; the C440. The C440 is an accurate heavy duty torque inspection tool which brings of accurate torque measurement to many civil engineering applications. A completely non-contact torque sensor which is simple and easy to use and easy to install/remove where necessary. The C440 is not only a hassle free accurate torque measuring package it is an essential tool for those who need to measure and confidently verify heavy duty torque.

The C440 has shown that it is not just a solution but is the future for measuring torque in the screw helical piling industry. The accepted method of assessing the integrity of a screw pile is by estimating the torque generated by the screw pile by measuring the hydraulic back pressure generated using visual hydraulic gauges. This system may have an accuracy rating of only 10 to 30%; Datum’s C440 torque solution gives a live, working accuracy of less than 1% with the data displayed wirelessly to a rugged PDA or laptop. The data can easily be taken and exported to Windows programs such as Excel for analysis and storage.

The C440’s flexibility lends itself easily to many other applications where large drilling and excavation machinery is used in a civil engineering environment. The accuracy and its ability to wirelessly log and record data, allows companies the security that they have used an accurate method of measuring torque and be able to provide the records whenever the need arises. Datum Electronics can now offer another practical torque measurement solution to the marketplace with the C440 quickly bring adopted as another standard solution for the industry

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.
