SciQuip Ltd RRC New Courses for 2019 Knight Optical
SciQuip Ltd supplies a wide range of testing
and production equipment to industrial,
manufacturing and R&D customers through-
out the UK. The range includes Drying
Ovens, Furnaces, Test & Climatic Chambers,
Ultrasonic’s, Circulation Chillers, Balances,
Shakers/Stirrers/Mixers, Sterilization &
Depyrogenation Chambers, Freeze Dryers and
Centrifugation equipment. For 2019 RRC are introducing two new
NEBOSH Courses to its Dubai classroom
schedule along with expanding the courses
offered in its UK centres. Sapphire (Al203) has exceptional structural
integrity and ability to operate up to 2030
degrees Celsius. Its high mechanical strength
and thermal, chemical and scratch resista\nce
makes it an incredibly desirable material for
use in harsh conditions.
The company is carbon neutral and leads the
sector in terms of environmental awareness,
recycling and sustainability. As a UKAS
accredited ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015
company customers are assured of the very
highest quality and levels of service. SciQuip is
an approved public sector framework supplier. Launched in London in mid 2018, RRC’s
NEBOSH HSE Certificate in H&S Leadership
Excellence course has proven exceptionally
popular and for 2019 we have scheduled
further courses in Birmingham, Glasgow,
Manchester & Newcastle. We are also
introducing the course to our Dubai centre
with the first course in February, and a further
4 dates scheduled throughout the year.
Following the growing interest in
environmental training in the Middle East
region we are also introducing the NEBOSH
International Environmental Diploma to our
Dubai centre with the first course starting
in the Autumn of 2019. This is a three week
course and has been structured to incorporate
the NEBOSH Environmental Certificate to allow
students to gain two qualifications.

SciQuip provides its customers with full before
and after-sales support with fully trained
product/application specialists together with
factory trained service engineers using original
manufacturer parts.
Sapphire windows have the capability of
serving vital purposes in mission-critical
applications, especially when used alongside
sapphire lenses, prisms and blanks. They can
be made thinner than other crystals due to
the structural integrity of the materials.
Choose from random cut sapphire for any
application other than UV, or C-cut or Z-cut
for UV applications, all available from stock.
Fluorescence free sapphire windows are
available as a custom made item only.
For bespoke requirements, our technical
experts are able to manufacture to your
specification.

GAS METER TEST RIG SOLUTIONS FOR EVERYONE
When a client approached Chell Instruments
with a specific challenge, our engineering
team got straight to work. Using our industry-
leading expertise and experience, the ideal
solution was developed to satisfy their gas
meter calibration requirements.
Now, a version of the Gas Meter Test Rig
(GMTR) we created is available from Chell
for everyone wishing to test and calibrate
domestic gas meters, including manufacturers
and calibration houses.
The GMTR is a multi-channel benchtop
system that allows testing of the functionality,
accuracy, stability and leak integrity of up to
four domestic gas meters simultaneously.
It is compatible with older ‘diaphragm’ type
positive displacement meters, as well as the
newer ‘smart’ ultrasonic meters.

As you’d expect, the device contains high
accuracy flow, pressure and temperature
instrumentation and can generate any flow
set-point up to 12,000 litres per hour while
maintaining a safely low outlet pressure
to prevent damage to the gas meters
under test. For valid error comparisons,
the combined mass flow, pressure and
temperature measurements can be used
to calculate the true volumetric flow rate at
each flowrate.
The system consists of a custom enclosure
and a triple-range flow manifold with
pneumatically operated isolation valves.
Pipework and custom gas meter outlet
blocks allow volumetric flow conversion for
up to 4 gas meters in series.
The system has a mass flow error of 0.4%Rdg
+0.2%FS and also contains 4 pressure
transducers and 4 PRT temperature probes,
all connected to custom fixtures in the
interconnecting pipework. The on-board
display modules provide mass flow control
and display, pressure and temperature
measurement display and valve control.
Remote monitoring and control is also
possible via the built-in webserver or with
the user’s own software.
The GMTR is supplied with all parameters
calibrated with ISO17025 certification in our
UKAS accredited calibration laboratory and
is the latest flexible addition to our range of
gas meter test systems, adaptable to each
customer’s needs.
