Industry-leading gas measurement and control experts, Chell Instruments, have developed a new pressure scanner within their microDAQ3 range that’s designed for high accuracy at higher pressures of up to 1034kPa (150psi).
The versatile microDAQ3 range of scanners has been popular with engineers and Chell Instruments are pleased to be launching the latest 32-channel high range model.
With 32 acquisition channels and high precision digital transducers, the new microDAQ3-32-HP can provide unparalleled accuracy and is ideal for recording differential and absolute pressures within high-scope measurement applications.
“The microDAQ3 range has been a significant innovation in the field of pressure scanning technology, using high accuracy digital sensors in combination with advanced processors and sophisticated thermal compensation to gain the most accurate results. Our new 32 channel microDAQ3 model is suitable for use in high range applications that experience substantial pressure variations, recording unparalleled data quality up to 0.02% of full scale” says Jamie Shanahan, Director of Chell Instruments.
When correctly installed, the microDAQ3-32-HP will output differential or absolute compensated engineering unit pressure data over Ethernet, CAN and IENA at speeds up to 400Hz per channel.
Making use of its high accuracy transducers combined with two 24-bit ADC’s per port for both pressure and temperature, the microDAQ3-32-HP can almost entirely compensate for any thermal effects over its wide operating range.
As an optional extra, Chell Instruments is offering the microDAQ3-32-HP with an electrically driven valve that gives the scanner a purge and re-zero facility.
“The valve has been years in development and features precise positional measurement and current monitoring to ensure even greater reliability for the microDAQ3-32. This optional purge and re-zero function provide users with an added level of assurance in high-demand applications, allowing for easy maintenance and enhanced accuracy over time” adds Jamie.
North Walsham-based Chell Instruments manufacture and supply pressure, vacuum and gas flow measurement equipment for key sectors, including aerospace, pharmaceuticals, energy and motorsport.
Since 1976, Chell Instruments has maintained a continuous pipeline of new developments, specialist technology and innovations.
“At Chell Instruments, we’re committed to advancing precision and reliability for industries with critical requirements. The microDAQ3-32-HP reflects our dedication to innovation, meeting the evolving needs of demanding sectors where high-performance and high range pressure measurement is essential” adds Jamie.
