New Fluke Temperature Calibrators Designed for Pinpoint Tests, High Accuracy Fluke Corp. has introduced two single-function calibrators that, by simulating process temperature sensors, provide accurate temperature calibration. The new Fluke® 712B RTD and 714B Thermocouple Temperature Calibrators allow instrument, process, and plant maintenance technicians to test temperature instrumentation quickly. The Fluke 712B measures and simulates 13 different resistance temperature detector (RTD) types and resistance. The 714B measures and simulates 17 different thermocouple types as well as millivolts. Both verify process sensors by direct comparison of measured versus reported temperatures. The calibrators also measure 4 to 20 mA signals with 0.001 mA resolution while simultaneously sourcing a temperature signal. Both readings are displayed on the backlit display for easy transmitter calibration. They can correlate measured mA to programmed 0 and 100 percent temperature settings to verify the 0 and 100 percent readings in a temperature transmitter. They also feature linear ramp and 25 percent step auto-ramp based on 0 and 100 percent settings. Value readings are kept in memory to restart testing when the calibrator is turned on again. Both calibrators feature built-in magnetic hangers for easy mounting during measurement. More information: www.fluke.com/temperature_calibration. Fluke Corp. Everett, WA
Online Tool Customizes MIG Guns An online configurator from Bernard Welds offers customization of the company’s four semi-automatic MIG gun lines, the Bernard Q-Gun, S-Gun, T-Gun and TGX Semi-Automatic MIG Gun Series. Via the online tool, users can select their own wanted features or customize an industrial-duty MIG gun for a specific application. The configurator handles such specifications as amperage, cable length, handle style, trigger and neck type, contact tip and wire size. The configurator steps users through each choice of component from multiple options. Once configuration is complete, users receive a part number and detailed summary of their selection. They then can submit their gun for pricing, or save or print the part number to share with their distributor. Bernard Welds Beecher, IL APRIL 2014
