‘Measuring Instruments’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors from
Kistler Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Kistler's piezoelectric torque sensors have a wide measuring range and are adaptable to match most configurations, making them suited to manufacturing-process monitoring. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release SGS inspects tanks with Industrial Rope Access from
SGS SA - Industrial Services: "SGS has conducted ultrasonic Periodic Tank Inspection in Jakarta using Industrial Rope Access. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Sierra Instruments
- take a look at Smart-Trak 2 wins Flow Control Magazine award
which says: "The readers of Flow Control Magazine have voted Sierra Instruments' Smart-Trak 2 with Compod as the winner of its Product Innovation Award.".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Parker needle valve handles contaminated media,
as well as Maplesoft solution enables fast model development from Adept Scientific,
and RDP transducers give direct analogue output from RDP Electronics.
