Manufacturing requires accuracy for consistent outputs. But that isn’t easy to achieve if you don’t know what your inputs are. While instrument calibration may only slightly affect inputs, that can still significantly impact your outputs, the longevity of your equipment, and more. Calibrating your equipment ensures your readings are accurate and allows you to make necessary adjustments or repairs before any issues arise.Instrument readings can change over time as instruments are exposed to harsh...

Optimize Solar Performance: PVA-1500HE2 PV Analyzer & 1537 Insulation Tester 2500V

In the United States, a staggering 75% of households, nearly 90 million, lack access to solar power. These individuals face various barriers, including not owning property (such as house and apartment renters), having roofs unsuitable for installing solar panels, or living in homes with roofs that receive insufficient sunlight. Even among those who own rooftops suitable for solar power, over a third hesitate to embrace solar energy due to the substantial upfront costs, which is a significant deterrent...

What is Shaft Alignment? Shaft alignment is a crucial process in maintaining and operating various types of machinery, including pumps, motors, and fans. It involves aligning the rotational centers of mechanical shafts to ensure they form a straight line. Proper alignment is essential for the efficient operation of rotating machinery. Misalignment, even at minimal levels, can lead to significant issues, such as increased vibration, premature wear of parts, and, ultimately, machine failure. Why is...

The 4 mA to 20 mA current loop is a common method of transmitting sensor information in many industrial process monitoring applications—typically in systems monitoring pressure, temperature, pH, flow, or other physical factors. These systems employ a two-wire, 4 mA to 20 mA current loop, in which a single twisted-pair cable supplies power to a transmitter and also carries the output signal. The loop’s operation is straightforward: a sensor’s output voltage is first converted to a proportional...

When troubleshooting failed assets, the first tool you’ll reach for is a non-contact voltage detector, also known as a voltage tester. These pocket-sized detectors immediately identify the presence of voltage.

Diagnosing and troubleshooting power quality issues in medical equipment in hospitals and health care facilities.

Many power quality problems show up at the branch circuit level. There's a simple reason for this: that's where most of the sensitive loads (and sensitive employees) are located.

To meet the demands of today’s high-energy, high-hazard workplace, quality manufacturers like Fluke continue to improve their test instruments to make them safer and more reliable.

Vibration testing for condition-based maintenance, to reduce costs and production losses. Mechanics of testing, analyzing roller bearing faults.

Mixing higher voltage 480-volt three-phase cables in the same cabinet as lower voltage 24- or 120-volt control wiring and communication cabling can result in erratic operation or even complete failure of electronic equipment inside the cabinet. Knowing what is inside the cabinet before you open it, the specific wiring issues to look for once inside, what values to measure, and simple ways to correct problems can help alleviate many erratic and sometimes "mysterious" control and communication issues on the plant floor.

Thresholds between solenoid-based testers and electronic testers are markedly different and carry consequences for safety and convenience.

Inductive heating, which typically occurs when phase conductors are routed around metal mounting channels, supports, or braces, can cause catastrophic and deadly failures in electrical distribution and control equipment.

Four must-have measurement practices for the mechanical maintenance team: thermal, vibration, insulation, electrical

“Cogeneration” captures heat from energy-intensive industrial processes and puts it back to work—to make steam that drives a turbine generator or that heats other parts of the facility, for example. Heat recovery can increase energy efficiency by 30 percent or more. Cogeneration has garnered a lot of attention as a result, and sophisticated, almost  turnkey cogeneration solutions are now available in a range of sizes. Even the most sophisticated cogeneration system, however, is an electromechanical system that requires regular maintenance for reliable operation at peak efficiency.

Astronomers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have been working in Antarctica's interior since 1996. In collaboration with astronomers from France, Italy and the United States, they're seeking the perfect location for the next generation of deep-space telescopes.
