A fume hood is a primary method of exposure control for laboratories. Fume hoods are ventilated enclosures, designed to capture, contain, and exhaust fumes and vapors. The Rooster™ platform of airflow monitors is designed for critical containment applications such as fume hoods, and includes options for fume hood control. Rooster airflow monitors can track fume […]
Monitor Electronics Moving air is an effective option to keep electronics cool. When hardware issues such as fan failure occur within dense electronic systems and enclosures, overheating, component damage, unstable operation or even catastrophic failure may result. Airflow management using pcb mount air velocity sensors to provide real-time feedback can identify problem areas before damage […]
Recalibration Services to Maintain Sensor Accuracy Recalibrate to maintain sensor accuracy and have full confidence in the measurements you take. When you send us your sensor for recalibration, consider taking advantage of our upgrade incentives. Recent releases of our instrumentation grade sensors include improvements and new features. We are constantly working to bring better products […]
As the year-end approaches, this may be a good time to schedule preventive maintenance for your fogger instruments. Degree Controls provides general cleaning services for its °C Breeze and FlowMarker™ Fog Generators, and we suggest that this be done on an annual basis. Fogger cleaning is done with care, by experts, and includes a battery […]
Need to add basis to your efficiency conversations? Collect the data first. Proper cooling architecture is of the utmost importance when considering overall energy consumption and cost effectiveness within a data center. PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), RCI (Rack Cooling Index), and COP (Coefficient of Performance) are measures that deserve to be part of cooling and […]
Choose the Rooster™ to best fit your needs! What is it? How do I choose it? Which sensor? How do I calibrate? Contact John Callanan, john.callanan@degreec.com, with questions about the Rooster™ airflow and pressure monitors that are right for you. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 110 is an American National Standard used to evaluate fume containment of laboratory […]
Is it time to calibrate your airflow sensors and instrumentation? Calibration is about measurement accuracy. Degree Controls recommends a recalibration service be performed once every 12 months for airflow sensors and sensing arrays, as well as for °C Port data acquisition instruments with built-in barometric pressure sensing. Properly calibrated airflow instrumentation gives you confidence that […]
Do you need to test fan airflow? The °C SPAR is a fully configurable Sensor Pole Array system for linear air velocity, temperature, and humidity measurement. Manufacturers, product testing labs, and engineers involved in the development and design of test equipment use °C SPARs to measure fan performance. It is an efficient and effective tool […]
The UHS1000 Humidity Sensor The UHS1000 is a relative humidity (RH) sensor, measuring the water vapor content of air, and features the convenience of USB connectivity. UHS1000 is most often used with its companion sensors, the UAS1000 (Air Velocity), and UTS1000/RTD1000 (Air and Surface Temperature) sensors, to create multipoint and multifactor environmental testing. In addition, […]
Do you need to control and monitor fume hood face velocity? The Degree Controls side wall sensor is a flow-through device used by Laboratory Managers to control and monitor fume hood face velocity. It is typically mounted in the side wall of a fume hood and draws in clean, ambient air, rather than contaminated exhaust […]
