‘Hazardous Environments’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates from Abssac, which we summarised at the time by saying "Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Data loggers can be used in -80C environments from CIK Solutions: "Logtag Recorders has designed credit-card-sized data loggers that can be used in temperature environments as low as -80C. ".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from Wilcoxon Research - take a look at Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification which says: "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Victrex, Talisman chooses Aptiv film for CMOS / CCD mask, as well as Graphalloy bushings are flange-block mounted from Graphite Metallizing Corp, and Fastpack drives cut energy use in fans and pumps from Micromech.
