Five tips to reduce measurement noise
21 August, 2008 by Charles Stiernberg* | Supplied by: National Instruments Aust Pty Ltd
Ensuring measurement accuracy often means going beyond reading raw specifications in a data sheet. Understanding an application in the context of its electrical environment is also important for securing success, particularly in a noisy or industrial setting. Ground loops, high common-mode voltages and electromagnetic radiation are all prevalent examples of noise that can adversely affect a signal.
Wireless temperature nodes
08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering Corp has announced analog thermocouple and RTD instrumentation nodes for the SureCross wireless network. Designed and purpose-built for Banner’s SureCross wireless network, these nodes are available in versions to support thermocouple/thermistor inputs and 2-, 3- and 4-wire RTDs.
Broken bag detection system

08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
The type PMP differential pressure sensors are designed for monitoring filters for air and other gases. The compact microprocessor controlled units are housed in a robust plastic casing with an enclosure class of IP65.
Dust monitoring system
08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: SWR Engineering Messtechnik Pty Ltd
ProSens is a triboelectric dust monitoring and measuring system. It detects solid particles in a gas flow. The particle sizes must be 0.3 microns or larger.
Coriolis flowmeter for the food industry
05 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Endress+Hauser Australia Pty Ltd
Stringent hygienic requirements are at the core of process instrumentation in the food and beverage industry. The Proline Promass S stainless steel Coriolis flowmeter meets the hygienic requirements for dairies, wineries and food processing plants and delivers a high level of accuracy (0.1% of reading).
Deep vessel level sensor
05 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Endress+Hauser Australia Pty Ltd
To measure levels beyond 12 m distances in storage vessels, users had two primary options: use complex 4-wire ultrasonic devices or install expensive radar-based instruments. Now, Endress+Hauser have launched the Prosonic M FMU 44 — a 2-wire loop-powered, non-contact ultrasonic level sensor that measures levels in tanks and silos up to 20 m.
