MAY 2003 PRODUCT NEWS

• TROEMNER introduces their Alloy 8 analytical style stainless steel weights and weight sets used for the calibration of weights and verification of precision balance performance at a specific load or taring. Manufactured from the finest stainless steel, Alloy 8 allows for maximum stability and extremely low magnetic susceptibility.
• NAPT (National Association of Proficiency Testing) provides professional administration of ILC/PTs (interlaboratory comparisons/proficiency tests) and round robins. NAPT has a number of new electrical, dimensional, and physical/mechanical tests under development scheduled to begin distribution this year.
• SI Pressure Instruments, one of world's leading manufacturer of Deadweight testers has produced a new menu driven specialist calibration software package. Designated PressCal it meets the changing demands of industry and complies with BS EN ISO 9000 quality system requirements.
• Fluke introduces the new Fluke 707EX Loop Calibrator developed specifically for use in hazardous environments such as petrochemical plants, oil platforms and refineries and other locations subject to risk of explosion.
• Emerson Process Management announced its new Micro Motion(r) Meter Validation Package to help industries like pharmaceutical and biotech demonstrate compliance with tight government regulations. This service improves plant documentation used in FDA (Food and Drug Administration) audits, speeding the audit process and avoiding costly shutdowns.
• AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments has introduced several new JOFRA pressure and signal loop calibrators including compact, handheld and bench top models.
• Measurement Good Practice Guides and Beginner's Guide to Measurement Uncertainty available from UK's NPL. The Guides describe good current practice and are produced with technical input from specialists in the particular subject covered, the Measurement Uncertainty Guide explains the concept and importance of measurement uncertainty, using examples from everyday life.
• How do you challenge a smoke detector without smoke? In cleanrooms, wafer fabs and other contamination-sensitive applications, technicians trying to calibrate and/or test installed systems can't use real fire, e.g. matches, cigarettes or other burning material such as wire or insulation, to generate real smoke. Duke Scientific Corporation SMOKE-CHECK™ Smoke Detector Challenge Kit was specifically designed for use in cleanrooms and other critical environments to check the transport time of air sampling smoke detectors, as required by the United States NFPA Standard 72.
• New refresher course to teach the ASQ Certified Calibration Technician (CCT) Body of Knowledge (BoK) to practitioners already experienced in the field of calibration is being held in Dallas in September. Measurement uncertainty and its calculation, laboratory accreditation requirements, and measurement processes and procedures will all be emphasized. The format of the course will primarily consist of a discussion on the theories and practices of calibration measurement.
• SI Pressure’s PC6 Pro pressure calibrator utilizes the latest developments in pressure instrumentation to offer a versatile calibration instrument in a highly portable package. The PC6 Pro calibrator head can be supplied by itself or as a complete kit with pneumatic or hydraulic pump, NPT fittings, pressure hose, and carrying case.
• Veecal provides professional calibration software designed to run some the most demanding test equipment on the market today. Our procedures include such models as the HP E8285A, HP 8563E, HP 8920B, and ESG signal generators. We also carry procedures on less complex models such as the HP 34401A, Tektronix TDS 3000 series, and HP 8903B.
• Fluke's 6100A Electrical Power Standard performs all the tests and measurements stipulated under the new IEC 61000-4-30 Power Quality Standard. Adopted earlier this year, the IEC 61000-4-30 standard establishes power quality parameters for power frequency, magnitude of supply voltage, flicker, supply voltage dips and swells, voltage interruptions, transient voltages, supply voltage unbalance, voltage and current harmonics and inter-harmonics, mains signaling on the supply voltage and rapid voltage changes.
