Configure and read instruments via app and smartphone With the newCPG1500 precision digital pressure gauge from WIKA , customers can now communicate with it via smartphone.The cor- responding mobile app, ‘myWIKA device’, can be downloaded free of charge from the Google Play Store. Via the app and the WIKA- Wireless connection, the CPG1500 can be conveniently configured for test and calibration tasks via mobile phone. During the pressure measurement, the measured value is shown on the display in the desired unit. Moreover, users can access further parameters such

Compact chilled mirror hygrometer for sintering processes

Michell Instruments, repre- sented locally by Instrotech , has on offer a new S8000RS chilled-mirror hygrometer which offers an accuracy of ±0,1°C, with a wide measure- ment range of -90 to +20°C dew point, ideal for moisture control in sintering (a process where powdered metals are bonded together to form light

as temperature and pressure change rate and also additional instrument information via the WIKA website.The app enables the configura- tion, control and storage of log operations. Since the app also communicates with the WIKA-Cal software, the logged data can be transmitted wirelessly for further processing on a suitable computer. The new mobile app is currently available for smartphones withAn- droid operating systems. For the time being, its functions relate only to the CPG1500 - however, versions for otherWIKA calibration instruments are already planned. Enquiries:WIKA Instruments.

and strong products, from filters to machine parts. For sintering carried out at 600°C, maintaining a constant dew point of −60°C in the furnace is necessary and the gas is sampled at several points in the process. A fast-responding moisture analyser is essential so that action may be taken quickly if moisture levels rise above accept- able limits. Michell’s S8000RS uses the fundamental chilled mirror technique to measure moisture, which ensures long-term accuracy to ±0,1°C dew point as well as reliability and a fast response. The measurement range of −80 to+20°C dp is ideal to ensure consistent monitoring at −60°C with confidence in the accuracy. The S8000RS is the smallest hygrometer on the market which is able to reliably reach dew points of −80°C. Enquiries:Tel. +27 (0) 10 595 1831 or email sales@instrotech.co.za
