We have been going again for almost a year now and have had good turn-outs at most of this years' meetings.
Thank you to all who have attended and a big 'thank you' to the sponsors of the meetings.
In the past few months we have had extremely interesting presentations from the following sponsors:
Endress+Hausser - level measurement principles.
H Rohloff (FLIR Systems) - infrared thermography.
Lonspeare/Blown Fibre - blown fibre-optic cables.
OMSA Valves & Instruments - ASI Bus.
Phoenix Contact - wireless BlueTooth communication.
Vega Instruments - the future of radiation-based measurement in chemical plants.
WIKA Instruments - sensors for temperature measurement.
All presentations were done by well qualified people who are specialists in their field. We would like to thank them for all the time and effort put into these presentations.
If you need any information on any of the above presentations, please contact us and we will refer you to the relevant persons.
Please feel free to join us at 18h00 at the Vanderbijl Cricket and Hockey Club for our next meeting.
