DRY COMPRESSED AIR WITH QUALITY DEWPOINT MEASUREMENT

One of the most important measurements to ensure quality, compressed air is dewpoint. As dewpoint measurements can be made almost anywhere on a compressed air system, application conditions can vary significantly. Sensors must withstand exposure to contaminants such as water spikes, compressor oil, and chemical impurities. VAISALA sensors can handle all of the above while providing the fastest wet-to-dry response time on the market. What’s more, they have a 2-year calibration interval. For your chance to win a Vaisala hand-held dewpoint meter and learn more about how Vaisala can help with your compressed air quality, visit www.vaisala.com/compressedair Tracy Cleland t: +44 212 6831257 tracy.cleland@vaisala.com

NEW WEBSITE FOR SOUND ADVICE ACOUSTICS

SOUND ADVICE ACOUSTICS are delighted with the ease of use of their new website. Brian Scrivener, Director, said “we realised that the old site wasn’t very friendly to navigate; this site is designed with the user in mind and to make sure that we showcase our benefits clearly”. The site is organised by the type of application – e.g. is it Residential or Commercial – so that it is immediately obvious that Sound Advice Acoustics can help. The business has over 50 years of experience in acoustics engineering, but keeps fully up to date with new and revised legislation. The organization is one of the relatively few in their field with UKAS accreditation; they also possess sophisticated computer modelling software that can help you design out potential noise problems.

VARNISH POTENTIAL PATCH TEST KIT

Turbine lube oil is susceptible to fluid degradation from oxidation and thermal degradation leading to varnish deposit formation. Condition monitoring is critical in staying ahead of lube oil degradation issues and the Membrane Patch Colorimetric test method is the key to predicting varnish problems before unit trip occurs. HY-PRO’s VTK Varnish Potential Patch Test Kit includes everything to properly prepare a filter patch and anlayse it for varnish potential. SVR (soluble varnish removal) technology from Hy-Pro prevents and removes varnish deposits and extends oil life by slowing the rate of anti-oxidant additive depletion.
