Robert J. Latino, Kenneth C. Latino
The authors show how to
identify, understand, and prevent the chronic problems that hinder the
accomplishment of organizational goals using root cause analysis
(RCA), a process for uncovering the physical, human, and latent causes
of any undesirable event in the workplace.

Infrared
Thermometer Basics - Alan Young, Raytek Corp.
Material
temperature and emissivity, ability to view an object by direct
line-of-sight, and heat sources close to the sensor all affect
infrared thermometer selection. How do you know which is best to use?
Temperature
is fundamental to numerous manufacturing processes, but in many
applications, it simply is not possible or desirable to contact the
object or material being measured. Infrared thermometers provide
straightforward temperature measurements in applications where contact
probes such as thermocouples or RTD's are impractical or impossible.
Infrared
temperature sensors provide fast response time, durability, non
contamination and ease-of-use to meet the requirements of demanding
manufacturing environments.
Knowledge
of thermal physics is not required to use infrared thermometers, but
awareness of a few basic principles and concepts helps one better
understand their operation and application.

Spot
Size Calculator Program
Free Download!
When planning for the purchase and/or
installation of a Raytek
noncontact infrared thermometers, two of the main considerations is
how far away from your target the thermometer should be and how large
the measurement spot is at that distance. The Spot Size Calculator (PC
version only) allows you to estimate the distance and spot size which
can help with use and/or installation. The entire program and
associated data file are less than 60 KB and can be run from a floppy
disk. (Runs on Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0.)

June Question # 11
Answer:
The Oilcheck
TMEH 1 is a comparative
instrument, which enables optimized intervals to be maintained
between oil changes. It detects and
measures the Dielectric
Constant
in a used oil sample, which is compared against results taken from
an unused lubricant of the same type and brand.
