F.Fonseca presents ultrasonic detector Leakshooter V2+ IR from Synergys Technologies   Compressed air is a costly form of energy and 20 to 40% of it is lost through leaks. Systematically checking for and eliminating leaks can therefore bring considerable energy savings. When the Leakshooter comes near a leak, a dynamic yellow target appears on the large colour screen and the target turns red and shrinks as it approaches the source of the leak being then possible to photograph and save the precise location of the leak.   On the other hand the ultrasonic method is more accurate to analyze and check steam traps, as they usually work cyclically.

F.Fonseca presents electromagnetic flowmeter all metal stainless steel MIM from Kobold   The flowmeter MIM was developed for measuring and monitoring smaller and medium-sized flow of conductive liquids in pipes.   The device operates according to the electromagnetic measurement principle. According to Faraday’s Law of magnetic induction, a voltage is induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field. The electrically conductive measuring agent acts as the moved conductor. The voltage induced in the measuring agent is proportional to the flow velocity and is therefore a value for the volumetric flow. The flowing media must have a minimum conductivity. The induced voltage is picked up by two sensing electrodes, which are in contact with the measuring agent, and sent to the measuring amplifier. The flow rate will be calculated based on the cross sectional area of the pipe. The measurement is not depending on the process liquid and its material properties such as density, viscosity and temperature. Two given outputs can be set to be switch, analogue or frequency. Also a dosing function can be selected, where output 1 is set as switch NPN/PNP/PP and output 2 is set as a control input.

F.Fonseca presents power quality analyser MI 2893 Power Master XT from Metrel The Metrel MI 2893 Power Master XT is a hand-held three phase power quality analyser with a large easy to-read graphical color display, enabling the user to detect harmonics, phasors, waveforms and transients with sampling frequency 1 MSamples/sec in the installation, simply by connecting the device with automatic smart clamp detection. Delivered energy, especially the quality of delivered energy, became more and more important with the market deregulation, where more players are acting on the market. Power quality refers to a different measurable parameter which must be inside the specified levels. Constant monitoring of power quality parameters allows electrical equipment to function in the intended manner without major loss of capacity or service life, this includes a steady and stable supply of electricity. Standard IEC 61000-4-30 standardizes the measurement algorithms, parameters, accuracy and time aggregation. Power quality analysers produced according to IEC 61000-4-30 class A must comply with the highest performances and accuracy levels to obtain repeatable and comparable results.   Besides the measuring of power quality parameters, class A analysers are capable of measuring also other power quality phenomena, like: Signal waveforms in case of interruptions in the network; Alarms capturing; Transient detection in voltages and currents; Inrush current detection. A class analysers are intended for advanced power quality users and industrial & utilities technicians.
