VEGA Controls at Offshore Europe

VEGA stand  4D101 will be featuring a range of level, pressure and density and flow measurement and control solutions for the Offshore Oil and Gas industry. Units displayed have uses ranging from Caisson level,  sea  level monitoring, drilling mud flow detection to silo levels and  separator multi-interface profiling. One of the highlights will be the new PROTRAC Nucleonic gauging system, featuring the most advanced detectors in the market. Designed for applications such as mud density, interface profiling and detection, as well as other general density, vessel level measurement and point level switching.

The  VEGAFLEX guided radar will be on display for both in-vessel level measurement, the VEGAPASS for bridle installation as a displacer replacer, as well as its alternative format; VEGAMAG. This is where the guided radar combines its technology with a Magnetic Level Gauge in a shared assembly, to offer increased  security and safety,  through diversity of technology.

VEGA through-air radar, VEGAPULS will  be on the stand, demonstrating its capability for through air measurement on both liquids and solids. These non contact devices, come into their own offering freedom of build up issues, density changes and installation complexity,  along with flexibility and responsiveness for level measurement applications such as mud ‘trip’ tanks, shale shaker screens, drilling powder silos, even for sea-level and wave height measurement on rigs.

Also on the stand will be samples and displays of the rest of the comprehensive VEGA level and pressure range, displaying a proven capability of modular products, with SPEED delivery and expertise for Offshore level solutions, backed with a 3 year Warranty.

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.
