Switches, Sensors & Systems Hummingbird Launches Innovative New TCD measurements for OEM Applications WE BELIEVE IN ACCURACY WE BELIEVE IN ACCURACY Introducing our new G5 Series process weighing instrumentation with Introducing our new G5 Series extensive communication options process weighing instrumentation with extensive communication options Hummingbird has announced the launch of its revolutionary TruRef Thermo-Conductivity Detector (TCD). The TruRef series of measurements covers applications requiring the accurate and stable measurements of a range of binary mixtures including helium, hydrogen and Argon. Hummingbird’s TruRef is the world’s first true TCD gas measurement, which, for the first time, makes a true thermal conductivity measurement of a gas. TruRef technology co-locates the reference and measure elements under isothermal conditions in the sample gas, effectively eliminating the errors due to changing sample conditions such as pressure and flow. This patented measurement principle delivers unrivalled performance standards, particularly in terms of measurement accuracy, repeatability and stability - making it ideal for use in purity and process control applications. Fully enabled by Hummingbird’s advanced Nekta communications protocol, the new transducer offers measurements that are available in ranges between 0-100% with high purity accuracy also offered. Other gases and ranges are also available.
