Mass Measurement


Flow measurement and regulation by mass

February 2017 Mass Measurement

Kobold has introduced its DMS digital flowmeters that, because they record the mass of gases, are unaffected by the pressure and temperature of this medium. The measuring devices work using a bypass capillary system and are suitable for any installation position. The units have no moving parts and as such – available as flowmeter and flow regulator – are virtually fault-free.

The materials that come into contact with the media are highly resistant and stand up very well to the most aggressive of gases. A robust stainless steel housing offers protection from raw industrial environment.

This versatile modular system enables users to configure the devices for particular applications, with 15 standard measuring ranges available and others that can be ordered as special calibrations. The parameters of 10 common gases are stored in the electronic system and can each be individually adjusted. It is also possible to select another combination of gases.

A variety of international connections ensure trouble-free connection. The high quality electronics is fitted in a separate housing, although in the compact version it is fitted together with the sensors. It can be easily operated using the menus controlled with six keys provided. More extensive information regarding data and settings is available with the model that has a large graphic LCD display. It also offers two analog outputs and one RS-232 digital output.

Applications include gas monitoring, paint lines, laminator systems, semiconductor industry, analysis devices, exhaust measurement, engineering, boiler controls, N2/O2 generators.

Temperature monitoring in the metal casting process
Instrotech Temperature Measurement
During metal casting, the liquid material is poured into a mould, and after solidification becomes a solid body. Both too-high and too-low casting temperatures can lead to quality defects. The compact Optris PI 05M infrared thermal imaging camera from Instrotech can monitor the casting process.

Everyone has walked along a wet beach at some time and noticed how the damp sand wobbles like jelly when stepped on several times. This may be fun on a beach, but it’s no joke at a construction site or in an earthquake. Houses and streets built on drained swampland or unconsolidated soil or sediment can sink in certain situations, after which they must be condemned for use.
