Hansford Sensors EFFICIENT NEW LOAD CELL
FROM HBM DRAMATICALLY
REDUCES INSTALLATION TIME.
Robust results ensured A rapid increase in export orders is driving
continued expansion at Hansford Sensors, the
leading manufacturer of high performance
industrial vibration sensors and systems. The
company’s overseas sales are growing at over
20% year on year, leading to a further increase
in the company’s production facilities at its UK
headquarters in High Wycombe. Now available from HBM – a market leader in
the field of test and measurement – is the new
U3 load cell, specifically designed for tensile
and compressive forces.
The new DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 temperature
profiling system from Fluke Process
Instruments addresses the needs of any
paint or powder coating operation. A
comprehensive range of thermal barriers
protects the data logger with its non-volatile
memory in infrared and convection ovens.
The light-weight aluminum standard barrier
shields the electronics for up to 2 hours at
200 °C. Thermal protection is ensured by
high-performance microporous insulation
and a heat sink. The DATAPAQ EasyTrack3
Professional System extends protection to 3
hours, allowing users to monitor up to three
cure processes consecutively.
Hansford Sensors recently celebrated its tenth
anniversary with a record year, with revenues
and production volumes reaching an all-time
high. Managing Director, Chris Hansford,
explains that, “In recent years – and certainly
since the Brexit referendum – we have devoted
considerable time and effort to developing our
export business.”
Designed to address the problem of lateral
forces, which if great enough, can damage or
even destroy a force transducer, which can
subsequently cause a drop in production,
the U3 is capable of absorbing up to 100%
of rated forces in the form of lateral force,
without losing its measurement capability, or
sustaining mechanical damage.
Featuring a double-sided flange connection,
which allows the sensor to be mounted
quickly and easily, in order to minimise
downtime, the U3 is suitable for use in a range
of applications in production and monitoring.

Industrial Torque Monitoring Inline Continuous Real Time
Hydrogen Measurement
Monitorq is a robust and reliable torque
measuring device which can be integrated into
a drive line using standard power transmission
products such as couplings, pulleys and gears.
It provides a true measurement of torque, from
any location in a drive train. H2scan’s industry-leading inline hydrogen
process analyzers provide continuous, real-
time, hydrogen-specific measurements to
enhance process plant efficiencies, improve
yields, and reduce maintenance costs in the
following industries/applications: Petroleum
Processing, Natural Gas, Industrial Gas
Production, Petrochemical, Alternative Energy
and Industrial Safety.
METREL is one of the world leading
manufacturers and suppliers of high quality,
technically advanced, innovative electrical test
and measurement instruments, and associated
software and mobile applications. With over
60 years of experience, Metrel recognise
and understand the testing requirements of
electrical contractors and maintenance staff
in today’s challenging environment, with
development focus on technical capability,
enhanced user interface, and practical time-
saving features. The MI 3152 EurotestXC is
an instrument from the latest generation
of Metrel’s multifunctional measuring
instruments. The usual installation test
functions such as Continuity, Loop, Insulation
and RCD are managed by a completely new
user interface based on large colour touch
screen display. With the provision of advanced
integrated software, Metrel provides a
complete customer solution.

“The design of this latest version of Monitorq
has been driven 100% by feedback from our
customers,” said Rob Hucker, Product Manager.
“We have removed batteries from the torque
ring and replaced them with a state-of-the-art
inductive power system. We have increased
the accuracy of the torque signal to 1% of full-
scale torque while at the same time increasing
the sampling rate to 1kHz.”

H2scan’s analyzers use a solid-state, non-
consumable sensor that is configured to
operate in process gas streams. The H2scan
thin film technology provides a direct
hydrogen measurement that is not cross
sensitive to other gases.
