    State-of-the-Art Sensors for Oldest Working Beam Engine in the World

    The Boulton and Watt steam engine, originally installed in 1812, is the oldest working beam engine in the world.

    It is on this 200-year-old steam engine that engineers want to install the latest state-of-the-art sensors and instrumentation to monitor position, speed and acceleration of the piston.

    This Mechatronics Project – ‘marrying 200 years of technology’ – has 5 main aims.

    1. To understand the impact on the engine when running at full load.
    2. To explore engine efficiency.
    3. To illustrate to visitors the internal workings of the engine in real-time.
    4. To display information to less-able visitors unable to climb the stairs.
    5. To provide data for educational and research projects at all levels.

    Read how they monitored the position of the piston.

    Universal Fabric Tension Tester for All Fabrics and Styles

    The Challenge – Accurately Measure Fabric Tension on Any Style of Furniture.
    Fabric strength testing guarantees the fabric being used on furniture meets the high quality needed for durability, comfort and support.

    Choosing the wrong type of fabric can lead to fabric tearing, loss of customer satisfaction and a decrease in sales and profit.

    Find out how our miniature s-beam load cell, intuitive4-L digital indicator and industrial LVDT displacement sensors were used to determine fabric strength.

    Our Shear Pin Load Cells and Draw Wire Sensors Deliver Flawless Results in Sub-Zero Temperatures

    Applied Measurements were contacted by Victoria University of Wellington to provide reliable and accurate equipment that could operate in the sub-zero temperatures of the Antarctic. Using Applied Measurements’ two customised DBEP shear pin load cells, a WS12 draw wire sensor and four intuitive2 displays, the RICE team were able to successfully extract a 763m deep ice core from an ice cap on Roosevelt Island.
