AMETEK Adds Two New JOFRA® Temperature Calibrators

AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments - the industry leader in advanced dry-block temperature calibrators - offers two new variants designed for applications that require either extreme cooling or high heat - the JOFRA® PTC-125 Cooler and RTC-159 Ultra Cooler calibrators. Both calibrators offer a host of innovative features, design improvements and a wide temperature range that makes them ideal for calibrating sensors used in health care, medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and food processing applications.

The JOFRA PTC-125 is the latest addition to the JOFRA Professional Temperature Calibrator (PTC) Series. It offers a wide temperature range (-90oC to +125oC) and features an intuitive easy-to-use interface. The RTC-159 joins the JOFRA RTC (Reference Temperature Calibrator) Series and is AMETEK’s most advanced reference temperature calibrator with the widest available temperature range (-100oC to +155oC).

Both PTC and RTC Series calibrators incorporate a highly efficient, free-piston Stirling cooler and feature improved heating and cooling speeds. The RTC-159 offers the fastest calibration. Its patented cooling technology allows the calibrator to fast cool to -80oC in 65 minutes. The PTC-125 achieves that temperature in 75 minutes.

RTC and PTC Series calibrators have large diameter inserts designed to calibrate large-sized or multiple sensors at once. The compact, rugged calibrators are easy to carry, weighing only 15 kilograms, making them the lightest and most portable cooler and ultra cooler calibrators on the market.

The RTC-159 features AMETEK’s patent-pending Dynamic Load Compensation (DLC) system that provides perfect temperature uniformity in the insert no matter the number or size of the sensors immersed. Both of the calibrators also offer unique intelligent sensors for plug ‘n’ play fail safe connectivity, an easy-to-read full-color 5.7-inch VGA display, and a USB connection for improved communications and software downloads.

Both calibrators have a built-in reference sensor that offers high accuracy. However, users can obtain even better accuracies and realize the calibrator’s full potential by utilizing the STS (Superior Temperature Standard) reference sensor.

The STS-150 for PTC Series calibrators and the STS-200 for RTC Series calibrators contain all individual calibration data regarding the sensor, allowing users to change the reference sensor and be up and running immediately.

The STS-150 and 200 sensors have been angled 90 o and customized so the top of the sensor is only slightly higher than the top of the calibrator. This unique design makes it possible to calibrate threaded sensors and sensors with connection heads.

Both calibrators feature new multi-hole insert kits that cover most commonly known sensor sizes and a highly functional carrying case for improved portability and convenience. The specially designed carrying case makes it possible to store and protect DLC and reference sensors, inserts, support rods, wires, manuals, plugs and insert tools.

The JOFRA dry-block calibrators are part of a comprehensive line of pressure, temperature and signal calibrators and force-measurement test machines marketed by AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments under the CHATILLON®, JOFRA®, LLOYD™, and MANSFIELD & GREEN™ brand names.

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.
