Adam's PMB Balances Simplify Moisture Analysis Adam Equipment has brought out the PMB53 and PMB202 moisture balances, which simplify and accelerate moisture analysis. The PMB53 provides moisture determination results at 0.01 per cent/1mg with a capacity of 50g, while the PMB202 provides results at 0.05 per cent/10mg with a capacity of 200g. These new PMB balances allow a USB memory stick to store an unlimited number of results and test programs. Tests can be run at most locations and results stored on the spot. Data can later be uploaded for further analysis. Setting up more than one PMB is simple, as configurations can be transported from one balance to another and easily loaded into the new PMB. A USB I/O port and bi-directional RS-232 interface are also included, allowing for other types of connectivity. The PMB balances feature: a large easy-to-read display that simultaneously shows test parameters and results, a single halogen heat lamp, easy functionality, and a rugged metal...

Sigma Updates Sinetz Analysis Software Sigma has announced Sinetz 3.4, the latest release of the pressure drop and temperature loss analysis software. This Sinetz release allows data in ROHR2 neutral interface format (ntr) to be imported. Read data from 3D CAD systems such as PDMS, HICADnext can also be imported into Sinetz directly. Calculation speed at systems with valves and/or blocked parts has been improved. The release also offers extended calculation of zeta values at branches, which is now available for sloping branches. Other features include: load-case-depending input of ambient conditions; heating of the medium through insulation is now considered; input and calculation of sprinklers at node ends; revised list functions with more editing capabilities directly form the list; and the input of an alternative company logo or text field to simplify work on commission orders.
