Business Cases AgriMet – Agricultural weather network for northwest USA Serving the Pacific Northwest, a meteorological information system conserves energy and water through crop specific water use. AgriMet station in Boise, Idaho. The US Bureau of Reclamation, in cooperation with other sponsors, has developed an agricultural weather information system called “AgriMet” to promote energy and water conservation. AgriMet is a contraction of the words Agriculture and Meteorology. It is a network of over 50 automated weather stations that collect and transmit site-specific weather data....

Business Cases computation of ET. The AgriMet program currently uses a Rotronic meteorological HygroClip HC2-S3 sensor at every station and a HygroGen2 humidity chamber for calibration. The filter caps on the sensors are changed every year and every other year each probe is swapped with a new probe calibrated using the humidity chamber. tors track the modelled crop water use. When it reaches the maximum depletion level allowed, it’s time to irrigate again. Irrigation scheduling using AgriMet ET data can enable significant savings in water, pumping costs and fertilizer use. AgriMet stations...

Business Cases In the service of health Production monitoring and technical facility management at Dr. R. Pfleger GmbH. Dr. R. Pfleger GmbH in Bamberg (Germany). The German pharmaceutical manufacturer Dr. R. Pfleger GmbH applies special cleanroom techniques. It is very important for the company to monitor and verify pressure conditions as well as humidity and temperature measurement data in its cleanrooms. To meet this need, the company uses validated Rotronic data loggers of the Dr. R. Pfleger GmbH The pharmaceutical company Dr. R. Pfleger GmbH in Bamberg is one of the leading medium-sized...

Business Cases probes as well as Pt100 and 4…20 mA. The data logger is also equipped with a memory card on which not only the measurement data but also events in the instrument itself are stored. HC2-S sensors The digital HygroClip2 climate probes provide class leading precision and long-term stability. All calibration and adjustment data is stored in them. Their standard accuracy ex works is ±0.8 %rh and ±0.1 K. For more demanding tasks, sensors with an accuracy of ±0.5 %rh can be supplied ex works. Micatrone differential pressure transmitters The MicaFlex MF-PFT differential pressure...

Business Cases Mapping: the basis for meaningful measured values Rausch AG in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, has researched and used herbs and their extracts to manufacture high quality, innovative and near-natural products for hair and body care since 1890. It plans to install a logger system from Rotronic to ensure that raw and end products are stored in the right place and under ideal environmental conditions. For every product the right storage place. The company decided to evaluate and replace the instruments for measurement of temperature and air humidity in its high-bay stores and...

Business Cases José Trujillo, Head of Quality Management, adds: “The mapping will also tell us if we store our raw and end products in the right place.” Some essences need to mature in containers for months before they are ready for use in production. This requires not only far-sighted planning, but also a well-organized store with optimum environmental conditions. prove this when need be, we store at least one reference sample of every production series under optimum conditions for a period of five years.” Installation of the new measurement system In the first phase Rotronic will install...

Business Cases Reduction in calibration uncertainty has top priority The UKAS laboratory at Rotronic UK has long made a name for itself in high quality calibrations and, thanks to constant improvements in measurement procedures, is growing into one of the most advanced commercial facilities in this specialised field. in dew point and temperature in air CMCs therefore affect the RH CMCs profoundly. The projected improvement lies in the range 0 to 70 °C; in the worst case RH CMC will be ±1 %rh. In all parts of the HC2-S specified range covered by the accreditation the CMC is projected to be...

Business Cases Rotronic USA – Calibration Lab – now ISO 17025 accredited ROTRONIC is pleased to announce the addition of another ISO 17025 accredited calibration laboratory to the ROTRONIC group. Our subsidiary in the United States has recently earned NVLAP accreditation for its calibration laboratory in Hauppauge, New York. The laboratory has been deemed compliant to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ANSI/ NCSL Z540-1-1994 standards for humidity and temperature calibration. The scope of accreditation for humidity falls in four different ranges with four correspondingly different measurement...
