PG7000-AMH automates mass handling for PG7000 piston gauges for both gauge and absolute operation across the full gas and oil pressure range. The AMH system is an accessory to standard PG7000 platforms that is easily installed on existing units. With automated pressure control components, fully automated piston gauge operation becomes a reality. PG7000-AMH... This changes everything! http://www.dhinstruments.com/prod1/pgs.htm#amh  PPCH is a pressure controller for very high precision hydraulic pressure generation, measurement and control from 1 to 200 MPa (150 to 30 000 psi). http://www.dhinstruments.com/prod1/ppc.htm#ppch > molstic-S mounting systems for molbloc-S added to flow product accessories. http://www.dhinstruments.com/prod1/f.htm#molstic_S > A2LA ACCREDITATION MAINTAINED, SCOPE EXPANDED The DHI Calibration Laboratory underwent a biennial assessment for A2LA accreditation in 2003 FEB. As a result, A2LA accreditation of DHI calibration services to ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 is maintained. The scope of measurement capabilities has been expanded and best measurement capabilities improved in some areas. By Mutual Recognition Arrangement, Test Reports and Calibration Certificates issued by A2LA accredited laboratories are accepted on an equal basis by signatories of International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA), Asian Pacific Laboratory Accreditaiton Cooperation (APLAC), Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC) and many other accrediting bodies (visit www.A2LA2.net for additional information). http://www.dhinstruments.com/serv1/index.htm > Contact Artvik, Inc. for DHI Calibration Solutions for Pressure and Flow in ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN, BELARUS, GEORGIA, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN, MOLDOVA, TADJIKISTAN, TURMENISTAN and UZBEKISTAN. http://www.dhinstruments.com/find1/mideast.htm#armenia > Contact Artvik R Ltd (Artvik Inc. affiliate) for DHI Calibration Solutions for Pressure and Flow in RUSSIA. http://www.dhinstruments.com/find1/asia.htm#russia > Contact Sindec (Artvik Inc. affiliate) for DHI Calibration Solutions for Pressure and Flow in UKRAINE. 2003 MAY 11 http://www.dhinstruments.com/find1/euro.htm#ukraine --EVENTS 2003 SEP TO DEC Visit DHI in your area at these conferences/seminars: > SEP 15 to 19 -- MSV 2003, on the booth of D-Ex, Brno CZECH REPUBLIC > SEP 22 to 24 -- IMEKO TC16 Pressure and Vacuum Symposium Beijing CHINA > SEP 24 to 27 -- Cumbre Industrial y Tecnologica On the booth of Gometrics, Hall 2, Booth B-41 Bilbao SPAIN > OCT 5 to 8 -- ATCE - Society of Petroleum Engineers, Denver CO > OCT 20 to 23 -- Metrologie, on the booth of MB Electronique, Toulon FRANCE > DEC 3 to 5 -- SEMICON Japan, Tokyo JAPAN http://www.dhinstruments.com/even1/index.htm --TRAINING COURSES Pressure and flow calibration courses held at DHI in Phoenix AZ USA: > Precision Pressure Calibration - 2003 SEP 22 to 26 (unavailable) - 2003 NOV 10 to 14 > Advanced Pressure Metrology Using Piston Gauges - to be scheduled > Gas Flow Calibration Using molbloc/molbox - 2003 OCT 13 to 16 Customized training and consultation is also available at your location focusing on your specific instruments and applications. http://www.dhinstruments.com/serv1/training/training.htm Online enrollment available at: http://www.dhinstruments.com/serv1/training/couenrol.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW LITERATURE/DOCUMENTATION ------------------------------------------------------------------ --PRODUCT BROCHURES > PG7000-AMH Automated mass handling accessory for all PG7000 models including PG7601 in absolute by vacuum operation http://www.dhinstruments.com/prod1/pgs.htm#bro > PPCH Automated pressure controller/calibrator for hydraulic pressure http://www.dhinstruments.com/prod1/ppc.htm#bro > molstic-S Mounting Systems for molbloc-S Mass Flow Elements http://www.dhinstruments.com/prod1/f.htm#bro --TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS > TYPICAL PRESSURE MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY IN PRESSURE DEFINED BY A PG7000 PISTON GAUGE DHI Tech Note No. 7920TN01C has been revised to take into consideration lowered uncertainties obtainable when using PG7000-AMH automated mass handling. http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/techdocs.htm#7920tn01 --INSTRUCTION SHEETS http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/instruct.htm > FTS adaptor kit for molbloc-S P/N 401832 installation and operation http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/instruct/pdfs/560048.pdf > Installation of regulator kit onto 1/4 in. molstic-S mounting platform, 401880 http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/instruct/pdfs/560051.pdf > Installation and use of medium-flow vacuum pump kit for molbloc-S, P/N 401940 & 401883 http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/instruct/pdfs/560053.pdf > PK-mol-KF adaptor kits for molbloc-S http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/instruct/pdfs/560057.pdf > Installation and use of low-flow vacuum pump kit for molbloc-Sr, P/N 401982 http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/instruct/pdfs/560064.pdf > Installation of regulator kit onto 1/2 in. molstic-S mounting platform, P/N 401881 http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/instruct/pdfs/560065.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------ PC BASED SOFTWARE UPGRADES (Available for Free Download) ------------------------------------------------------------------ > COMPASS(R) for Pressure, Calibration Assistance Software, Ver 1.01a - Universal platform for pressure calibrations using DHI or third party transfer standards and piston gauges - Runs complete, automated calibration sequences on single or multiple DUTs unattended, including multiple temperatures and/or line pressures - Security options for FDA 21 CFR 11 compliance - Multi-user networkable database with site license available http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/software/pccomppress.htm > COMPASS for PPC/RPM Ver 2.02 is available for downloading under PC BASED SOFTWARE. http://www.dhinstruments.com/supp1/software/pccompp.htm > CalTool(tm) for RPTs Ver 1.00d is available under PC BASED SOFTWARE.
