Kobold’s differential pressure transmitter (PAD) system seals oil company order

KOBOLD Instrumentation, represented in South Africa by Instrotech – a Comtest Group company – develops, manufactures and sells instruments for monitoring, measuring and regulating the physical quantities of flow through, pressure, level and temperature.

Minimising set-up time by using intelligent compact actuators

Replacing manual regulating devices on spindles and adjustment axes with networked actuators means significant cost reductions thanks to time optimisation and an increase in product quality. But for most of these machines with cramped conditions, the available actuators were to date made to be that large that a replacement was not possible. Now with the new AG05 from the SIKO DriveLine family there is an actuator on the market that not only impresses designers and users with its chic black plastic casing but also with its functionality and compactness. 

Instrotech’s bulk handling weighing technology

Instrotech’s multi-function weighing transmitter, the model 6004MF version II is a powerful, compact, field-mounted unit that can be selected for a variety of weighing functions. 

NEW ULTRA LOW-POWER ANALOG INPUT WIRELESS DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS FROM BEANAIR

BeanAir, French wireless sensor networks company, represented in Southern Africa by Instrotech, has a new analogue input, ultra low-power, wireless data acquisition solution for remote monitoring and process supervision applications.

Kobold’s Waste to Energy solutions prove reliable

KOBOLD Instrumentation, represented in South Africa by Instrotech – a Comtest Group company – develops, manufactures and sells instruments for monitoring, measuring and regulating the physical quantities of flow through, pressure, level and temperature.

Sensors for vibration analysis

Monitran has launched six new ranges of general-purpose industrial sensors for vibration analysis. High accuracy, quick recovery from shock loading, and high immunity from electrical noise make these new sensors suitable for a variety of applications within sectors. The units are supplied as top- or side-entry and with integral cables and connectors. Submersible and intrinsically safe versions are also available. 

Autonomous measuring systems with remote data transmission (GSM-2)

There has been a need for autonomously operating measuring  systems for quite some time, but until now they have only been implemented using locally read-out data loggers. However, this meant that the data that was acquired was  never up to date, and merely provided a historical picture.The measuring devices did not have a continuous function monitoring facility.

New USB Temperature Data Logger for Cold Chain Monitoring (Transportation and Storage)

ebro Electronic GmbH, represented in South Africa by Instrotech – a Comtest Group company, has launched the EBI 300, a new data logger for temperature monitoring in transportation or during storage.

3 in 1 Hand Held Temperature Calibration

Even in this digital world of ours, most primary measurements in process plants are still analogue by nature – they only become digital down-line.  Temperature starts out as voltage derived from joining two dissimilar metals together or from a charge in resistance from metals like platinum, nickel or semiconductors or measuring infrared radiation.  Pressure, flow and force are measured by physical deformation with strain gauges (i.e. Wheatstone bridges or piezo-electric effects). There are myriad ways in which Level can be measured and most start with an analogue measurement. It’s for this reason then, that in plant maintenance, commissioning and instrumentation workshops, process calibrators remain indispensable. 

Smart wireless shock detection from BeanAir

BeanAir, French wireless sensor networks company, represented in southern Africa by Instrotech, produces a wireless tri-axial accelerometer for shock detection and vibration monitoring for application on trains and transport vehicles, crash and impact testing, ride quality measurement, drop testing, transport monitoring as well as health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS).
