Masterwave BTR Receives Award in China

At the ACCSI 2011 (Annual Conference of China Scientific Instruments 2011) Masterwave BTR, Anton Paar’s new microwave synthesis reactor with revolutionary microwave technology, was given the “2010 Scientific Instrument Outstanding New Product” award in the category “Laboratory and life sciences instruments”. Masterwave BTR competed against 497 new products in this category.

The 2011 Annual Conference of China Scientific Instruments (ACCSI) was the fifth annual occurrence of this conference. The conference is organized by the “China Instruments Manufacturers’ Association”, “China Instrument Society”, “Analytical Instrument Society” and “China Association for Instrument Analysis”. The organizers run www.instrument.com.cn which is the most wide-ranging website of its type in China. The website links up the largest manufacturers of instruments for science and research with end-users. At the ACCSI, awards were given for the best new instruments in 2010. The winners were selected by experts and internet voting by numerous end-users.

The benchtop reactor Masterwave BTR from Anton Paar for the first time transfers microwave synthesis to the kilolab. With its new technology (patent pending, EP 2 086 285 A1 and US 2009/194528) a one-liter reaction vessel can be effectively heated via microwaves. The increase in productivity in the laboratory is considerable: depending on the reaction, it is possible to carry out syntheses with an output of up to one kilogram per day.

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.
