All-in-One Test Application Solution from dataTaker

Test walls form a convenient way to perform product verification for testing appliances from ovens to dishwashers to stoves. Some facilities use specialized test walls of various sizes, holding stacks of units undergoing testing/verification. However, due to the need to test multiple units at once, these applications often demand a high analog channel count. Now CAS DataLoggers has the cost-effective solution for these test setups with the Series 3 dataTaker DT85 Data Logger. Read more on our Equipment Monitoring Applications Notes page.

Improving Concrete Testing by Duplicating Real-World Conditions

A large manufacturing technology company contacted CAS DataLoggers after being asked to develop a method for testing the cure and strength of structural concrete in the field. Reproducing real-life curing conditions in a lab would enable the company to accurately estimate the concrete strength faster than possible under conventional methods. For this application, a monitoring and alarming data logger was needed, and remote data communication and transmission were must-have capabilities.

Determining Thermocouple Accuracy on a dataTaker Data Logger

The spec sheets for any of the dataTaker DT8X series of loggers do not contain direct accuracy information on temperature measurements by thermocouple. Instead it offers a voltage accuracy based on the full scale of the voltage being measured. The Applications Specialists at CAS DataLoggers have assembled this brief tech article to show you how to use the voltage output to determine thermocouple accuracy using these versatile universal data loggers.

Monitoring a Vacation Home Through the Winter

Wireless Data Logger Monitors Residential Temperature and Humidity
CHESTERLAND OH—November 15, 2012

CAS DataLoggers recently supplied a temperature and humidity logger to a homeowner in the Northeast who needed continual monitoring for his summer vacation home. This way the caretaker (a relative) could be alerted whenever the temperature was cold enough to cause burst pipes and other damage. This system would also need to be able to send current data several times a day and send warning emails whenever temperatures became too cold, or humidity too high. CAS DataLoggers provided assistance and value-added services. Read more on our Environmental Monitoring Applications Notes.

Monitoring Temperature for Quality Control in Pet Food Production

To ensure that pet food production meets demanding FDA requirements, manufacturers must continually monitor the temperature of their extruding equipment for quality control purposes. A CAS DataLoggers customer was provided with dataTaker DT80 intelligent data loggers to record the data from multiple plants all from their single, corporate location.

Monitoring and Recording Harmful Gas Detection in a Chemical Plant

CAS DataLoggers recently supplied a chemical company with a combination gas detection and temperature recording system. For safety reasons, the plant needed a data logger to monitor hydrochloric acid gas (HCL) and chlorine (CH2) levels as well as temperature throughout the plant in 20 separate locations. A highly-accurate standalone solution was necessary to connect to the various sensor types, store it in a large memory, and send the data to an office PC.
