The first step in selecting a data logger is to determine what parameter it is that you wish to log. Many data loggers contain internal sensors that will log the most commonly measured parameters such as: Temperature or Humidity. In some cases the data logger will have multiple internal sensors that log different parameters simultaneously. The ability to log multiple parameters requires the data logger to have multiple ‘channels’. In this way, a data logger with 4 channels will enable 4 p..

Xiaolei Fan used our micro-thermocouples to investigate reactor performance for selected model reactions, heat transfer efficiency of the integrated micro-heat exchangers, development of continuous tandem reaction, and evaluation of developed catalysts for hydrogenation and hydrodehalogenation reactions under the continuous flow conditions being used. The results demonstrated that the structured compact multifunctional reactor might be a promising technology to transfer conventional hete..

Maintaining homeothermy is essential for mammals, but has considerable energetic costs. In this study, the internal conditions of setts within five European badger (Meles meles) social groups during the cub-rearing season were monitored, that is, February to July, in 2004. Sett temperature showed substantial and significant variation over this period, while relative humidity remained stable throughout. Microclimate was least stable during the period for which cubs remain entirely below gr..

Air pollution from biomass fuels in Africa is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity both in adults and children. This paper by D G Fullerton, S Semple, F Kalambo, A Suseno, R Malamba, G Henderson, J G Ayres and S B Gordon describes the nature and quantity of smoke exposure from biomass fuel in Malawian homes. Summary Over 2 billion people rely on biomass fuel as their main source of domestic energy. Most of these people live in developing countries such as..

Research carried out by: Lomas KJ and Kane T School of Civil and Building Engineering, Building Energy Research Group, Loughborough University, Leicestershire, LE11 3TU, UK Hobo Data loggers supplied and calibrated by Tempcon Instrumentation were used to examine: internal summertime temperatures in the living and bedrooms of 282 homes in the UK city of Leicester. This being a statistically representative sample of the city‟s housing stock. The monitoring period, whilst genera..

Hobo data loggers were calibrated and provided by Tempcon Instrumentation Ltd as part of a research programme aimed at identifying where energy efficiency initiatives should be targeted. This information is key for the accurate prediction of CO2 savings so that Government can ensure that targets are met. Data were collected during a large-scale city-wide housing survey carried out in Leicester, UK in 2009-2010. The Living in Leicester (LIL) Survey was designed by the 4M project - Measu..

There is certainly a profusion of wireless technology available and the amount is only likely to increase. For some people wireless data logging isn't necessary (Or practical) but for an increasing number, the line between logging, monitoring and controling is becoming increasingly blurred and this is where wireless technology in particular begins to come into its own. We asked our clients to tell us what their top reasons for going wireless are and so, in no particular order, here ar..

Wireless technologies have been around for a while now in various guises but lately they appear to be growing in number with more and more products being added to the list of available technologies. In part this may be due to the rise of the ‘Internet of things’ (Where everyday technologies and appliances communicate with each over the internet) as more and more methods exist to connect devices either to the Internet or to each other using wireless technology. Whatever the reason, ..

It's always good to know why your customers demand specific services and products from you! So we asked some of our calibration customers why they felt calibration was so important and their reasons for implementing calibration programmes. A broad cross section of people means a broad cross section of reasons;  if your reason for calibrating your equipment isn't in the list, please let us know. Now, in no particular order, our customers believe calibration is essential beca..

Calibration is defined as an association between measurements – one of a scale or accuracy made or set with one piece of equipment and another measurement made in as similar a way as possible with a second piece of equipment. The piece of equipment or device with the known or assigned accuracy is called the standard.   Standards vary from country to country depending upon the type of industry whilst manufacturers designate their measurement criterion and recommend the frequency..

Calibration is sometimes seen as an additional unnecessary cost to a business but in many cases it is vital for a business to trade legally and safely. But what is Calibration? At its most basic, calibration is the process of comparing a reading on one piece of equipment or system, with another piece of equipment that has been calibrated and referenced to a known set of parameters. The equipment used as a reference should itself be directly traceable to equipment that is calibrated to a N..

Some of our customers tell us that they needed to explain the importance of calibration to other parts of their business. With this in mind, we've compiled 10 reasons why most successful organisations consider calibration essential. Please do tell us your reasons for implementing a routine calibration programme: 1. Safety This is particularly relevant when considering food preparation and storage. Equipment that is not calibrated correctly can lead to food being stored at in..
