iBase’s IB918 compact AMD Ryzen SBC featuring four independent 4K displays
Backplane Systems Technology has announced the release of the iBase IB918 AMD Ryzen 3.5-inch disk-size, SBC-based on the AMD Ryzenembedded V1000/R1000 SoC. The IB918 allows system designers to create feature rich systems targeting panel PC, kiosk, POS, medical display and industrial applications. Generating 4K ultra high-definition resolution for sharper images provided by the integrated Vega GPU, IB918 can drive up to four independent displays via two HDMI (2.0a), a 24-bit dual channel LVDS and an eDP graphics output. It has two SO-DIMM sockets supporting fast data transfers with up to 32GB DDR4-2400 memory and ECC for data integrity. Flexible I/O connectivity and expansion ports come in the form of one USB 2.0, four USB 3.1, one SATA III, four COM, a 12V~24V DC input and two M.2 sockets (M/E Key). The compact IB918 board comes with low power consumption AMD Ryzen APUs, namely the 64-bit quad-core V1605B (IB918F-1605) and the dual-core V1202B (IB918F-1202), R1606G (IB918F-1606G) and R1505G (IB918F-1505G). The models are equipped with an advanced TPM 2.0 chip, a high level of hardware-based security that enables cryptographic operations for access control and authentication to prevent phishing attacks and authorisation value guesses on devices. Measuring 102mm x 147mm, the SBC provides an optimal fan and heatsink cooling solution and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C-60°C. The board supports both Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu operating systems. Key features: • AMD Ryzen-embedded V1000/R1000 SoC; • 2x DDR4 SO-DIMM, maximum 32GB; • 2x PCI-E gigabit LAN; • 2x HDMI, 1x eDP, 1x 24-bit LVDS dual-channel; • 1x USB 2.0, 4x USB 3.1, 1x SATA III, 4x COM; and • 2x M.2 sockets (M/E key).

New Product Master
Trimec Flow products offers a range of insertion paddle wheel flow meters for accurately metering flow in larger diameter pipelines(40-2500mm). The Trimec Flow Products Dualpulse insertion paddle wheel flow transducer is a cost effective means of accurately measuring the flow of water, waterlike liquids or a wide variety of low viscosity liquids in completely full, large diameter pipes. The sensor is inserted into the process piping via a suitable fitting. Liquid flow through the pipe results in rotation of the affixed paddle wheel. The rotational speed of the paddle is proportional to the flow velocity, and therefore, proportional to the flowrate in the pipe. The insertion type design provides a measuring technique that is much less expensive than full bore flowmeters, especially in larger pipe sizes. Insertionpaddle wheel sensors are a robust measuring technology that have good tolerances with dirt and solids.

Measurement Rentals has introduced the new Fluke 1625-2/KIT advanced GEO earth ground tester kit to their extensive test and measurement rentalfleet. The Fluke 1625-2 is a unique earth ground tester that can perform all four types of earth ground measurements including 3- and 4-pole fall of potential, earth resistance loop testing, 4-pole soil resistivity testing, selective earth ground rod testing using one clamp and stakeless earth ground rod testing using two clamps. Designed for ease of use, the testers inform you which stakes or clamps need to be connected for each test, and the large rotary switch can be used even with a gloved hand. The Fluke 1625-2 earth ground testers are able to measure earth ground loop resistances using only clamps. With this test method, two clamps are placed around the earth ground rod with each connected to the tester. No earth ground stakes are used at all. A known fixed voltage is induced by one clamp and the current is measured using the second clamp. The tester then automatically determines the resistance of the earth ground rod. This test method only works if a bonded earth ground system exists for the building or structure under test. If there is only one path to ground such as in many residential applications, the stakeless method will not provide an acceptable value and the fall of potential test method must be used. With stakeless testing, the earth ground rod does not need to be disconnected, leaving the bonded earth ground system intact during test. Earth ground tests can also be performed inside buildings, on power pylons, or any place where there is no access to soil. Measurement Rentals also offers AC power analysers, DC power supplies, RF power meters, RF spectrum analysers, RF network analysers, digital oscilloscopes (CRO), data acquisition, telecommunications and data communications test equipment, fibre test equipment, audio and acoustic measurement, antennas and a wide range of specialist test and measurement equipment for immediate hire, Australia-wide.

Air conveyor converts standard pipe to convey in corrosive environments
EXAIR’s new Type 303 stainless-steel 2-1/2 NPT threaded line vac airoperated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. They are suitable for food, chemical, pharmaceutical and medical processes or areas likely to be wet and corrosive that require the benefits of 303SS including chemical and corrosion resistance, performance in higher temperatures, long service life and low maintenance. Their larger size makes them perfect for conveying bigger parts and large volumes of material over long distances. The threaded line vac is designed to attach to standard plumbing pipe couplers, making it easy to build a complete system using common pipe and fittings that are readily available. Threaded line vac conveyors eject a small amount of compressed air to produce a vacuum on one end with high output flows on the other. Response is instantaneous and regulating the compressed air pressure provides infinite control of the conveying rate. Applications include scrap trim removal, material conveying, part transfer, fibre tensioning and filling operations. 2-1/2 NPT 303SS threaded line vacs are CE compliant and meet OSHA pressure requirements. The complete size range is 3/8 NPT through 3 NPT. Threaded line vac models are also available in type 316 stainless steel for high temperature, corrosive and hygienic environments.
