GemRam - Quick and Easy Gemstone Identification Solution

Introducing the GemRam™ from B&W Tek, a new lightweight portable Raman spectrometer dedicated to the verification of known gemstones and the identification of unknown gemstones.

Utilising a spectrum stabilised 785nm diode laser, and a high resolution TE cooled spectrometer the GemRam™ provides spectral accuracy and repeatability all within a compact and easily portable system.

Benefits include:
  • Easy to use software
  • Quick analysis in seconds
  • Non-destructive analysis with no sample preparation
  • Gemstone database is easily extended
  • Cost effective
  • Portable and easy to carry
Each GemRam™ includes an X-Y-Z positioning stage, fibre optic probe, and a dedicated windows based netbook computer preloaded with B&W Tek’s proprietary GemID software powered by GemExpert’s database of verified spectral “fingerprints”, together with a durable carry case.

The spectral library has been developed by Professor H.A. Hanni and Professor Johannes Hunziker, of GemExpert GmbH, who are world class authorities on gemology. The library includes almost 400 different precious and semi-precious gemstones in all classes, including: borates, carbonates, halides, native elements, oxides, phosphates, silicates, sulphates and sulphides. All entries include commercial names, images and country of origin along with other useful information to enable quick and easy identification. Users can easily add spectra from new gemstones to the library.

The GemRam™ is designed for customers who need a tool to identify and verify gemstones, either individual pieces or within collections, from around the world. GemRam™ is manufactured by B&W Tek, sold and supported in the UK by Lambda Photometrics, and is and available now.

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

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

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.
