FasTest CalMate Flange Connector Provides Leak-Tight, Repeatable Connections for Metrology and Calibration Applications

FasTest announces CalMate flange connectors to provide quick, temporary calibration connections for gauges, transmitters and other devices equipped with sanitary, tri-clamp style fittings. CalMate flange connectors quickly attach to sanitary flanges in seconds and can be adjusted to work in applications with different gasket and flange thicknesses.

CalMate flange connectors are rated up to 300 psi. Three basic sizes are available for applications from 1/2” to 2” tube sizes, and connectors are compatible with tri-clamp style flanges. Featuring stainless steel construction, CalMate flange connectors deliver safe, repeatable connections and long service life. The connectors' design also allows for closer center-to-center mounting of sanitary flanges on vessels. Compatable with the FastCal hose connectivity solution, changing from one size connector is accomplished in seconds without the use of sealants or wrenches.

To increase calibration efficiency for applications that require numerous connections with a variety of different fitting styles and fast changes—such as testing and calibration labs—CalMate flange connectors can be mounted onto FasTest’s FasCal Manifold System. The manifold supports connections to up to four different devices at the same time, and connectors can be swapped out in just seconds.

FasTest is a dedicated manufacturer of productivity and high quality improvement connection tools for pressure, flow and vacuum testing applications. FasTest’s complete line of specialty connectors are designed to provide leak-tight, reliable connections for calibration and other industrial manufacturing applications. Custom leak test capabilities are available for unusual or unique 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.
