Airflow sensors and instruments should be calibrated at periodic intervals. For measurement results you can count on, check to see if it is time to calibrate airflow equipment. From time to time, equipment calibration is overlooked. Calibration provides assurance that sensors and instruments are measuring accurately and establishes measurement traceability. Calibrating at regular intervals minimizes […]
Poultry house airflow management systems use air velocity and temperature sensors to regulate climate conditions for healthier flocks and improved efficiencies. Poultry need superior nutrition, clean water, and a well-managed environment for health, well-being, and optimal quality. For regulating climate conditions in poultry houses, ventilation, airflow measurement, and control systems are indispensable. Ventilation provides essential […]
Automating face velocity testing streamlines fume hood certification. Face velocity measurements are automatically transmitted from the reference sensor to the Rooster™ airflow monitor. The °C Point anemometer will soon be interoperable with Rooster™ airflow alarms and monitors for automating face velocity testing. Users will have another sensor option for calibrating their fume hoods using automated entry […]
Multipoint measurement allows many points of air velocity, temperature, and humidity data to be sensed and collected simultaneously, and in real time. Two-dimensional sensing arrays are used to measure air velocity and temperature in a planar cross section of a flow field. Airflow applications may require: A single test layout where the number of sensors […]
As managers monitor raised floor data centers and identify hot spots that need to be addressed, they often turn to the HotSpotr™ HT-510 thermostatically controlled air mover to solve cooling issues. The HT-510 is an underfloor air mover, DC fan tray cooling tile. It delivers a variable volume of cooling air upward, to the inlet side of […]
Drying prevents residual water and solvent from interfering with finishing processes. It extends product shelf life, protecting materials by removing moisture to safe levels. In the pharmaceutical industry, the drying process is essential to dosage form quality. Airflow switches from Degree Controls ensure industrial drying equipment operates as designed. In a basic drying system, a […]
Face velocity thermo-anemometer interfaces directly with Rooster™ airflow monitor for fume hood certification. Degree Controls is continually improving Rooster™ airflow and pressure alarms and monitors. With the latest Rooster™ interface software, users have the option to perform their own cabinet calibration, with automated entry of face velocity measurements acquired from a calibrated anemometer. Rooster™ is […]
Multipoint instrumentation streamlines planar airflow analysis. Part 1 of Airflow Tools Series – Multipoint Sensing Arrays & Instrumentation Measurement of air velocity, temperature, and humidity are crucial steps in product design and development. When testing conditions require numerous, simultaneous measurement locations, product design teams turn to multipoint instrumentation from Degree Controls. Multipoint sensing systems streamline […]
Packaging/converting machines use air velocity switches to monitor airflow and achieve higher product yields. Packaging machines package wet or dry product using flexible materials such as paper, foil, and plastic film to create containers which are sealed using heat or pressure. Packages used for pharmaceutical, medical, and personal care products include bags, pouches, blister packs, […]
Calibrating velocity instrumentation yields accurate measurements and makes good process control possible. It may be time to calibrate your airflow sensors and instruments. Recalibration ensures sensors and instruments are functioning as accurately as possible and within published specifications. In turn, accurate measurements allow for quality product and good process control. Degree Controls calibrates velocity instrumentation using a […]
