Configure and read instruments via
app and smartphone
With the newCPG1500 precision digital pressure gauge from
WIKA
,
customers can now communicate with it via smartphone.The cor-
responding mobile app, ‘myWIKA device’, can be downloaded free
of charge from the Google Play Store. Via the app and the WIKA-
Wireless connection, the CPG1500 can be conveniently configured
for test and calibration tasks via mobile phone. During the pressure
measurement, the measured value is shown on the display in the
desired unit. Moreover, users can access further parameters such
as temperature and pressure change rate and
also additional instrument information via the
WIKA website.The app enables the configura-
tion, control and storage of log operations.
Since the app also communicates with the
WIKA-Cal software, the logged data can be
transmitted wirelessly for further processing
on a suitable computer. The new mobile app
is currently available for smartphones withAn-
droid operating systems. For the time being, its
functions relate only to the CPG1500 - however,
versions for otherWIKA calibration instruments
are already planned.

Compact chilled mirror hygrometer for
sintering processes
Michell Instruments, repre-
sented locally by
Instrotech
,
has on offer a new S8000RS
chilled-mirror hygrometer
which offers an accuracy of
±0,1°C, with a wide measure-
ment range of -90 to +20°C
dew point, ideal for moisture
control in sintering (a process
where powdered metals are
bonded together to form light
and strong products, from filters to machine parts. For sintering
carried out at 600°C, maintaining a constant dew point of −60°C in
the furnace is necessary and the gas is sampled at several points
in the process. A fast-responding moisture analyser is essential so
that action may be taken quickly if moisture levels rise above accept-
able limits. Michell’s S8000RS uses the fundamental chilled mirror
technique to measure moisture, which ensures long-term accuracy
to ±0,1°C dew point as well as reliability and a fast response. The
measurement range of −80 to+20°C dp is ideal to ensure consistent
monitoring at −60°C with confidence in the accuracy.
The S8000RS is the smallest hygrometer on the market which is
able to reliably reach dew points of −80°C.
