Measurement & Monitoring Aquameter Ltd Adding a preset quantity of water to a mix has long been carried out using pails or hosepipes. Not very accurate and certainly not consistent. Now, Hertfordshire company Aquameter has developed the ABACUS digital water measuring system for dispensing accurate preset quantities of water straight into mixing vessels, tanks, etc. Easy to install and simple to use, the ABACUS delivers repeatable results day in, day out, reliably and consistently. Thousands of units have been sold worldwide to a whole variety of industries where water is added to powders or granules for mixing pur- poses. Just dial in the batch amount required and press the start button. The unit stops the flow of water when the required quantity has been delivered - easy. Kistler’s new digital charge amplifier sets a new standard for measurement in the Industry 4.0 era Kistler’s Type 5074A charge amplifier breaks new ground in industrial charge amplifier technology for the Industry 4.0 era. This unit is currently the only piezoelectric sensor amplifier on the market that offers communication based on real-time capable Industrial Ethernet. For the first time, plant and machinery manufacturers can integrate any desired piezoelectric sensors directly into a real time-capable Ethernet system to easily make settings on the measurement amplifier. www.kistler.com A 32 channel condition monitoring system will be featuring on Monitran’s stand at the Maintenance 2018 exhibition in Antwerp this March. Known as the MTN/5032, it can monitor velocity, envelope g and temperature on all channels. The microcontroller-based system has an easy-to-navigate touch screen that enables users to set thresholds and delays for up to 96 alarms individually or across all channels, as well as data sampling periods, ranges and accuracy levels. AC output data for each channel is accessible via door-mounted BNC connectors for easy analysis, while Modbus and remote PC monitoring are available as options.
