at bio-methane plant
Ultrasonic Clamp On Flowmeters can provide
solutions for onsite flow calibration, and with
the latest user-friendly wizards, obtaining
reliable and accurate measurements should
pose no problems. Do you regularly process goods-in for fresh/
frozen food, pharmaceuticals or other
temperature-sensitive products?
Are you responsible for temperature data
integrity of products delivered to or from your
kitchen, factory, warehouse or supermarket?
Would you like to digitally log product
temperatures with a handheld device AND
produce an instant paper receipt at the same
time? If the answer is YES, YES and YES, you
can also make yourself a great saving of
nearly £50 when you buy the NEW MM7010
Bluetooth Logging Thermometer Print
Combo : 2 pieces of kit – 1 price. TME’s
MM7010PRINT combines a handheld
Bluetooth Logging Thermometer MM7010
with a Bluetooth Printer (MMPRINT) delivering
digital logging and instant paper receipts at
the same time. Leeds based corrosion protection and
engineering services specialist- Corroserve
was contracted to protect the internal surfaces
of a newly manufactured mild steel chimney
prior to it being installed at a bio-methane
plant on Teesside. The 1.2m diameter chimney
was in three sections – 30m in all. The plant
processes the sludge remaining after sewage
treatment to produce bio-methane, which is
an alternative source of energy to fossil fuels.
Bio-methane production offers a number
of other environmental benefits including
stopping the release of methane and other
harmful gases produced by organic matter
decomposing into the atmosphere. The client
is satisfied that the new lining will protect
it from corrosion attack for a considerable
time and remains confident that they have a
long-term cost-effective solution, particularly
when compared with the cost of repairing or
replacing the chimney in the future.

A recent study conducted by four different
engineers on the same pipe installation paints
a different picture, with alarming issues in
measurement reproducibility. The study found
large variances in results due to installation
setup and meter quality. The variance was
significantly higher with the lower cost clamp-
on meters than the higher performance more
costly meters. Our Part 1 blog details the
issues found in the study with respect to meter
calibration and user installation.

New PhoenixTM ATEX Certified
Finishing System
PhoenixTM has complemented its range of
‘Thru-process’ Finishing temperature profiling
systems with the new FIS04 ATEX system.
Developed for automotive paint plants, where
paint engineers face demanding challenges
of ATEX classification requirements, for safe
operation of monitoring systems.
At the heart of the PhoenixTM FIS04 ATEX
system, the Intrinsically Safe PTM1410 Epsilon-x
data logger certified to Group II Category
3G allowing safe operation in Zone 2 ATEX
classified areas (eg: paint booth, flash off zone
and cure oven). Providing up to 10 points
of measurement, paint processes can be
monitored accurately and effectively. Thermal
View Finishing software provides graphical
cure analysis tools for verifying process
compliance with ease.

Sensor device and method
for detecting gear damage in
rotating elements in housing
GTR-01
The company PCE Process Control Electronic
GmbH in cooperation with DELTEC electronic
GmbH has developed a sensor device and a
method to detect damage to rotating parts in a
closed housing. Tests on ferromagnetic gears
have been suc-cessfully carried out so far. The
housing was made of die-cast aluminium. The
pro-cess uses magnetic fields: Electromagnets
generate magnetic fields, while a Hall sensor
picks up the resulting fields.
A special evaluation program determines
whether a defective part is present. The
damage can, for example, consist of a par-tially
or completely broken tooth or a crack. Device
options allow the speed and di-rection of
rotation of the rotating part to be determined.
The device can also be used for continuous
monitoring on machines.

Exposed Junction thermocouple
with Moulded on Miniature Type
K IEC Plug
A very fast response PTFE insulated
thermocouple, made from a unique single shot
cable construction which provides a gas, steam
and water tight insulation along the cable.
This sensor is ideally suited to temperature
monitoring of test pieces in autoclave and
aerospace applications.
