Reduce downtime – Find leakage currents without taking equipment offline

COMTEST is offering the Fluke 368 & Fluke 369 true-RMS leakage current clamp meters that help users detect, document, record and compare leakage current readings over time as a means of preventing unplanned downtime, and identifying intermittent GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) and RCD (Residual Current Device) trips, all without taking equipment off line.

The Fluke TiX580 Thermal Imager delivers stunning 640 x 480 resolution images and surprising affordability.

Bring your best to work.
The TiX580 is a rugged and superbly engineered 640 x 480 thermal imaging camera. Users can now perform thermal imaging inspections with more confidence and faster results than ever before - all with the ruggedness and ease of use expected from Fluke.
 

New test equipment for TUT’s electrical engineering lab

 

The Tshwane University of Technology’s (TUT) Electrical Engineering Department has recently undertaken a major refurbishment of their Electronic Engineering Laboratory with the help from Comtest.

An IR Thermometer that takes heat, dust, water… And a 3 meter drop!

Fluke has just launched the Fluke 64 MAX IR thermometer with internal memory, unattended monitoring, improved accuracy, increased battery life, as well as the precision needed to do the job accurately. Designed and tested to survive a 3 meter drop, this lightweight, compact infrared thermometer works in the harshest of environments and even when unattended. Applications include industrial maintenance, electrical and HVAC industries.

Fast and accurate automatic pressure testing and documentation of critical regulatory and compliance calibrations

Pressure instrument calibration is a significant part of the maintenance workload in process plants that requires a high level of accuracy and repeatability. Fluke has just launched the new Fluke 729 Automatic Pressure Calibrator - simplifying the calibration process by automating pumping to the precise test pressure, improving calibration integrity by compensating for minor leaks, and automatically documenting the pressure calibration process to meet compliance and regulatory requirements. 

CALOG by Instrotech’s DUAL DISPLAY CONTROLLERS

Instrotech – local designer and manufacturer of high quality process control instrumentation and industrial electronics – is offering three dual display controllers to industry under the Calog brand.

New super-fast, 500MHz bandwidth industrial ScopeMeter

The Comtest Group, Fluke’s authorised Test and Measurement distributor for South and southern Africa, has added two new models to their 190 Series II – range of handheld Scopemeters, the Fluke-190-502 and the Fluke-190-502S . With a bandwidth of 500MHz they are both super fast – achieving a 5GS/s sample-rate, providing greater accuracy and clarity of shape and amplitude of waveforms.

What is Electrochemistry?

Electrochemists use electrical signals (DC voltage and current) to control and study chemical processes, hence the term electrochemistry. Placing a controlled signal on a chemical solution enables the chemist to determine the nature and concentration of an analyte (solid or liquid) or how the electrodes are responding in the chemical process. 

Microsemi: PTP Enterprise Profile

 

Timing accuracy in many large enterprise IT networks have advanced to levels beyond what can be supported by standard NTP clients. PTP with hardware timestamping and faster message update rates is increasingly being used to meet these accuracy requirements. To ease PTP configuration and facilitate equipment interoperability, the IETF have established the PTP Enterprise Profile.
