Designing Scientific Instruments to monitor your environment. 

 

Legrand is a global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure. In India, we have been a leader in the protection business for over two decades, and leverage global knowledge to customise offerings locally, delivering end-to-end solutions across categories and sectors, from residential and commercial, to hospitality and industrial. Legrand has progressively developed product ranges for wiring devices, home automation, door entry, lighting management systems, cable management and structured cabling to add to our core offerings of circuit breakers and distribution boards. The acquisition of established companies like Numeric and Valrack further strengthens Legrand’s promise of complete solutions, and makes us a preferred partner across segments.

An employee base of over 1000 in 26 offices spread across the country, 3 manufacturing facilities, 10 training centres and an extensive network of over 750 distribution partners and more than 11500 retailers, consolidates Legrand’s vast network, enabling us to quickly penetrate new market and product segments, and generate economies of scale.

 

 

 

Portagas is a world’s first technology for non-invasive, non-destructive monitoring of pressurised, inert gas systems.

It is a unique and innovative solution designed to monitor the pressure of pressurized, non-liquefied inert gases and compressed gas cylinders, including Inergen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Propane, Methane, Chlorine, Ammonia, Hydrogen, and CO2.

Utilizing sophisticated signal processing and acoustic technology to detect even minor fluctuations in internal cylinder pressure, with precision below the 5% required by regulations and by detecting marginal changes in the internal cylinder pressure with precision well below 5% demanded by the regulations, making it a valuable tool for ensuring safety and compliance.

The Portagauge® 5 multi echo ultrasonic thickness gauge is a highly accurate and reliable thickness gauge for measuring the thicknesses of various metals and hard plastics, developed to meet BS EN 15317:2013 which is the standard for ultrasonic testing, characterisation and verification of ultrasonic thickness measuring equipment.  

The Portagauge® 5 is capable of ignoring any coating up to 20mm in thickness, allowing the material’s true thickness to be measured.  

We strive to offer the highest quality instruments, built with exceptional quality materials in the UK and remain competitively priced in the market worldwide through our unique R&D position. 

Some of the key advantages of Portagauge® 5 over our competitors: 

  1. It is able to ignore paint coatings up to 20mm in thickness, giving you the material’s true thickness readings accurate to +/- 0.1mm 
  2. Measurement units available in both metric (millimetres) and imperial (inches) 
  3. A-scan and oscilloscope trace functionality is included to assist your measurements, observe material condition and help verify correct return backwall echo to give you confidence that you are measuring the correct wall thickness 
  4. We have tried and tested a large number of different materials, including various metals and hard plastics, and have created a built-in database in our Portagauge® 5 containing speed of sound data of 12+ different materials pre-loaded in the unit for convenience which also includes an option to enter custom materials 
  5. For marine applications, it meets Classification Society requirements for marine thickness gauge measurement equipment and has an LCD backlight to allow working in dark, poor visibility spaces 
  6. Battery life up to 12 hours continuous use on a standard 9V PP3 battery for easy replacement, with battery saving mode – turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity 
  7. Technical support and advice available throughout the lifetime of the unit and we are here to help you with your application 

The Permaflow® fixed ultrasonic transit time flow meter has been tested and calibrated at an ISO 17025 laboratory, capable of meeting accuracies of +/- 0.5% of the true flow rate. We strive to offer the highest quality instruments, built with exceptional quality materials in the UK and remain competitively priced in the market worldwide through our unique R&D position. 

The different types of flow measured by the Permaflow are:  

  1. Volumetric Flow Rate: such as litres per hour (l/h) or gallons per minute (gpm) etc. 
  2. Mass Flow Rate: such as kilograms per hour (kg/h) etc. 
  3. Heat or Energy Flow Rate: such as kilowatt hour (kWh) or British Thermal Unit (BTU) 

All measured values can be individually totalised giving you the total flow rate that has been measured during a particular measurement session. 

The system accepts PT100 thermometer inputs, allowing temperature of your liquid to be monitored simultaneously. Two PT100 thermometers can be installed in order to monitor supply and return temperatures, commonly used in heating and chilling efficiency calculations. The system displays the measurements in various measurement units (metric and imperial options available), such as litres per hour (l/h) and gallons per minute (gpm) for flow rate, kilowatt hour (kWh) and British Thermal Unit (BTU) for energy and heat quantity. 

The system is built with modular I/O modules, with a range of different options available, allowing you to choose only what you need to save you cost and money. It comes with USB and RS232 as standard for serial communications and 16MB internal memory that is capable of logging over 90,000 measurements. It is capable of saving measurements internally, to be exported later to a PC, or data stream directly from the system to the PC. To help to achieve reliable measurements, the system comes with built-in oscilloscope for signal diagnostics that assists you in performing a reliable measurement as part of the setting up process.
