‘Pressure Calibration’

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 ITT introduces packer feedthrough system from ITT Interconnect Solutions: "The BIW field-attachable packer feedthrough system launched by ITT Interconnect Solutions is designed to provide a faster method of passing power cables through packers.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Endevco - take a look at Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig which says: "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ".

Take a look also at the news release from CPS Color, CPS launches Corob First 70 automatic dispenser, as well as Resources company selects Able gas flowmeter from Able Instruments and Controls, and Ricardo to help develop automatic transmission from Ricardo.
