Product Roundup: More capable software improving calibration tools

CMX calibration management software communicates with an optional Android mobile device application, Beamex bMobile, enabling fully paperless maintenance inspections. The software lets users plan and schedule activities, create detailed instructions for each inspection, and send work orders to the mobile Android tablet or Android phone. In the field, bMobile guides users through all steps. Beamex.

GAUGE’S SENSORS CONTAIN CALIBRATIONS

meriGauge plus digital pressure gauge allows users to buy only the pressure ranges they need. It has 10 small, interchangeable Smart Sensors (15 psi to 3,000 psi), which contain their own calibrations. Easily mounted in narrow spaces, the calibrator has a large, two-line display, as well as accuracy of ±0.02% of full scale plus 0.005% of reading from -10 °C to 50 °C and from 0% to 110% of range. Meriam Process Technologies; 216-281-1100.

Fluke 154 HART calibration assistant is a tablet-based tool that provides full HART device description (DD) support of all HART devices, and can monitor PV, SV, TV, QV and other measured HART variables. The Android-based tablet comes configured with the FlukeHART mobile app and long-range wireless HART modem, which allows technicians to communicate with devices up to 250 feet away. Fluke Corp.

CompuCal calibration management software provides a paperless way to comply with FDA, ISO, GMP and 21 CFR part 11 regulations. It acquires data from Endress+Hauser instrumentation, tracks scheduling, recording, calibration and repair activities of the devices, and provides a full audit log, history and KPIs. CompuCal is validated with protocols and reports with no need for extra validation resources. Endress+Hauser; 888-ENDRESS (363-7377). 

LOOP DIAGNOSTICS AND SCOPE

PIE Model 830 multifunction calibrator has loop diagnostics that detect flooded junction boxes and ground faults, while its loop scope shows loop milliamps, voltage and resistance. Its loop diagnostics display sensor input, current output and uncontrolled loop current due to ground faults, corrosion bridges or moisture. It also detects which of two, three or four RTD wires are broken to show sensor problems. Practical Instrument Electronics Inc.; 585-872-9350.

MasterLink configuration and calibration software provides one software package to configure, calibrate, and access data from gas volume correctors. Its intuitive dashboard lets users quickly determine overall health status of instruments, and its standardized terminology makes it easy to configure and calibrate instruments, import data, generate reports and graphs, and eliminate manual effort. Honeywell Process Solutions; 800-423-9883.
