Fritsch to Present Lab Instruments at Powtech 2011

Fritsch will exhibit application-oriented laboratory instruments for sample preparation and particle sizing applications at Powtech, which is scheduled to take place on 11-13 October 2011. According to the company, which will be found in Booth 6-305 in Hall 6, its products are suitable for fast industrial applications and for use in industry and research laboratories.

The Planetary Mills product range, which will be exhibited, is designed for grinding down to the nanometre range. Its grinding bowl locking system enables the safe automatic checking of the locks in the mill, blocking in the event of impermissible operating states and automatic shut-off in the event of an imbalance. Also on display will be Fritsch's Cyclone system, which is suitable for the fine grinding of temperature-sensitive samples.

The efficient air cooling in the Pulverisette 14 variable-speed rotor mill and the powerful air vortex within the Cyclone cool the sample during grinding, reduce the thermal load of the sample and minimise clogging of the sieve rings, while simultaneously increasing throughput. In addition, the cleaning of the mill itself is reduced to a minimum.

The air flow inside the Cyclone leads the ground sample directly into the screwed-on sample glass. Another product on show at Powtech will be the Analysette 22 Nanotec Plus laser particle sizer, which is designed for the measurement of nanoparticles in a wide measuring range of 0.01-2,000um.

This product is said to ensure the reliable determination of particle size distributions in production and quality control as well as in research and development. The company's laser technology makes it possible to separately select five measuring ranges. The Dynasizer Analysette 12, also due to be exhibited, provides particle size measurements between 1nm and 6um using dynamic light scattering.

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.
