‘Hazardous Environments’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from
Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig from
Endevco: "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from National Instruments
- take a look at NI expands HIL simulation platform
which says: "National Instruments (NI) has announced the expansion of its hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform, which includes numerous products to optimise embedded system validation. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Adaptaflex, Guide covers specification of rail conduit systems,
as well as Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager from Fluke (UK),
and Namur approves Wirelesshart for process uses from Hart Communication Foundation.
