The Duke visited BSRIA’s Bracknell Headquarters where he met with Senior Staff before touring the BSRIA test laboratories and meeting the test engineers. The Duke follows in his father’s footsteps as His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh visited BSRIA in 1962. During the visit The Duke toured the BSRIA Instrument Solutions calibration test labs where he saw a number of instruments being calibrated including BSRIA’s new infrared test rig.

HBM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – has been successfully awarded the contract to install strain gauges inside Deep Green, the latest tidal power plant from Minesto, which is the largest marine energy company in the Nordics. The ATEX Directive 94/9/EC outlines the requirements suppliers must meet to achieve compliance for their equipment and protective systems for use in hazardous areas. It applies to both electrical and mechanical equipment and covers potentially explosive areas below ground, on the surface and on offshore fixed facilities. Under the ATEX regulations, hazardous areas are now divided into ‘zones’ relating to the likelihood of an explosive atmosphere existing. Almost all standard load cells from HBM cover device groups I (for mining) and II (non mining) and are suitable for use in categories 1, 2 and 3, corresponding to zones 0, 1, 2 ,20, 21 and 22. Tel: [phone] Email: [email protected] www.hbm.com As part of the rigorous development work undertaken by Minesto, HBM was able to play a key role in verifying how the plant behaved in the water and how it measured the forces to which it was exposed. Although relatively protected inside the power plant, the most important issue was to ensure that the moist environment in no way compromised the measurement result but thanks to HBM’s installation and sizing technology for offshore environments, this was successfully achieved.
