NEW PRODUCTS
Compact Electric Pump
A new compact electric pump designed for bolt tensioning applications in the wind turbine
industry is now available from specialist bolt tensioner manufacturer Boltight Ltd. The
standalone power pack is lightweight (19.5 kg) and portable, as the pump, reservoir, and motor
are combined into one easily handled package. The 0.75-kW rated pump is driven by a 220-240 V
single-phase electric motor and delivers a maximum operating pressure of 1500 bar. A 110-V motor
is available as an option. Located in a frame for added protection, the pump is easy to handle and
carry. The power pack is matched to Boltight's Typhoon and Tempest ranges of bolt-tensioning tools
but may be used with any Boltight bolt tensioning tools operating at 1500 bar. (ww.boltight.com)
Flowmeter for Utility Gases
Endress+Hauser released the Proline t-mass 150 thermal mass flowmeter for measuring
gases such as compressed air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and argon. The flowmeter measures
mass flow, gas temperature, free air delivery, and corrected volume-all without the need
for pressure or temperature compensation. The t-mass 150, with its high turndown of
100:1, can reliably measure small gas quantities at very low operating pressures, making
it suitable for applications such as leak detection, process control, cost allocation,
analysis of flow profiles and energy management. The flowmeter operates in temperatures
from -40F to 212F and pressures up to 580 psi. It measures mass flow up to 2.4 million
pounds/hour with negligible pressure loss. The stainless steel flowmeter has CSAus and ex
approvals for use in Class 1, Division 2 areas. (www.us.endress.com/t-mass-150)
Comprehensive Spectrophotometer
Hach Co.'s new DR 6000UV-Vis spectrophotometer was designed to fulfill any water
testing needs using one spectrophotometer. It is equipped with RFID technology,
integrated QA software, and more than 250 testing methods and guided procedures. The
instrument is programmed to take absorbance readings of a single sample at different
wavelengths or over a specific period of time and allows high-speed wavelength scanning
across the UV and visible spectrum. RFID technology helps operators track their samples
and manage their labs. When the DR 6000 is paired with Hach's TNTplus reagent vials, it
detects and alerts users to expired reagents, ensuring chemistries are used within their
shelf lives. In cases where changes to a stored program are required to use a new lot of
chemistry, it prompts the user to perform the update. The RFID technology allows the
DR 6000 to update the program's calibration factors automatically when the TNTplus
reagent box is placed near the instrument. Results are analyzed and outliers-caused by
scratched, flawed, or dirty glassware-are eliminated. (www.hach.com)
Tray Cable Connectors
Appleton, a manufacturer of products for hazardous location electrical systems, now
offers a versatile line of tray cable connectors engineered for use with TC, ITC, PLTC, and
other commonly used types of tray cable. Key to the success of the new connectors is a
compensating displacement seal that provides ingress protection to NEMA 4X and IP68
standards, allowing use in highly caustic or harsh environments. The connectors also
feature a seal insert that lets each gland terminate the broadest cable range available
in a single hub size. Made of aluminum, stainless steel, and nickel-plated brass, the new
connectors offer a wide continuous operating temperature range of -76F to 230F and
come in trade sizes ranging from 0.5 inch to 4 inches. NPT threads are standard; metric is
an option, as are an adaptor/reducer and earth tags. (www.appletonelec.com)
