Electronic Metering and Monitoring Instruments
The new version of the company's Identomet Thermo-electric Alloy Sorter consists of a hand-held probe that is placed in contact with a metal alloy to be identified. The thermoelectric potential generated between the hot probe and the cool alloy is amplified, sampled, and displayed by the instrument. Metals containing nickel give particularly strong signals for easy identification.
New features also include a self-contained battery with charger and a battery status indicator. The instrument will operate from battery power for 6 to 8 hours continuously.
Also available is the Precision Ampere Hour Meter. In addition to functioning as current totalizer, the instrument measures ampere-seconds, ampere-minutes and real-time current, which can help verify the accuracy a rectifier's ammeter.
The instrument measures plating deposit weight in grams or ounces for 21 programmed metal ions. In addition, if users know the total surface area of a work piece, it will calculate plating thickness in mils. The instrument features a full keypad and a two-line, 40-character LCD display. Upper and lower control limits will automatically turn a pump on and off as needed, and an alarm will sound when a totalized current limit is reached.
