Big Magnets Require Big Deliveries 

Some magnets are heavier than others. Handling them can be a challenge, in this case tackled by Wimmer Maschinentransporte of Germany. They can take longer to make, too. Two recent examples from the engineering and manufacturing facilities of Bilfinger Noell are the 13-ton monster PERC magnet shown, in part, above, and a superconducting “Wiggler” recently delivered to Brookhaven National Laboratory.  […]

McCrometer Seals the Deal on the Achilles Heel of Magnetic Flow Meters 

Magnetic flow meters can have an Achilles heel in their design but engineers at McCrometer have sealed the deal through careful manufacturing techniques and the use of fusion-bonded epoxy to prevent contamination with drinking water, wastewater and industrial streams which the instruments are measuring. The company received new NSF certifications for its Ultra Mag and Dura Mag electromagnetic flow meters recently, marking further testament to the robustness of the materials and manufacturing process, as well as the integrity of its quality team.  […]
