86A Absolute and U86B Media Isolated Analog Pressure Sensor Modules

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has just released to production its new urea dosing U86B media isolated analog pressure sensor module, as well as added an “Absolute” pressure type for its existing model 86A. These amplified, ASIC calibrated sensors were designed to be mountable with o-ring seals for high performance, low pressure applications. These sensors utilize silicone oil to transfer pressure from its 316L stainless steel diaphragm to its sensing element.

The U86B is MEAS’ first urea dosing backside pressure sensor and can be used to measure urea level, urea pressure, air brakes and corrosive fluid measurement for engine and vehicle applications. With a pressure range of 0 - 300psi and an operating temperature range of -7°C to +105°C, the U86B features a ±2.0 Total Error Band (over a compensated temperature range of -7°C to +105°C) and is CE approved as well as being manufactured to TS16949 standards. It comes with an optional cable length if desired.

The 86A is designed for applications such as: level controls, tank level measurement, OEM equipment, corrosive fluids and gas measurement systems, sealed systems, manifold pressure measurement, barometric pressure measurement and submersible depth monitoring. Its gage type reference has a pressure range of 0 – 150psi while its absolute type reference ranges from 15 - 150psi. Operating from -40°C to +125°C, it has a ±0.25% pressure non-linearity and features up to a ±3.0% Total Error Band (over a compensated temperature range of 0 to 105°C).

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.
