    Request for Advice on Choosing the Appropriate PT100 Sensor

    Thank you hacksaw. I already realized that in the meanwhile. The accuracy of the PID controller is by itself already rougher than the requested accuracy. I was thinking to use two different system, one to control, one to measure (where it is requested the real accuracy). Do you have any advice...

    Request for Advice on Choosing the Appropriate PT100 Sensor

    Dear danw2, reading the standard that I am trying to follow in this paragraph " "Laboratory temperature measuring device, having an accuracy of +0.25% of the nominal rating, calibrated to a depth of 40 mm immersion, for determining temperatures of liquids in bath tests and operating...

    Electrical Components for Water Heating Experiment

    Yes, indeed, it doesn't necessarily have to be that way, but making a hole in a €400 glass container is certainly not a simple solution. The fact that it’s made of glass is important for the experiment to be able to see what’s happening inside.

    Request for Advice on Choosing the Appropriate PT100 Sensor

    "Bent 90° in the heavy section" means what I highlighted in the attached documents? In this catalogue https://cascade.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Thermokoppel-catalogus.pdf I did not find any reduced tip PT 100. Can you help me in the selection?

    Electrical Components for Water Heating Experiment

    Thank you danw2. I am concerned about the heater, I cannot find any of that shape online. By "sizing", I mean "determinate the power required to let the liquid to reach a specific temperature", but I am not able to design it in detail. If I know the power of the resistance can I choose the SSR...

    Electrical Components for Water Heating Experiment

    Dear all, This post is connected to a previous one, but since the questions are different and independent, I preferred to separate them into two posts. I need to replicate a very simple experiment, but I have some doubts about the necessary electrical components to execute it. Specifically, I...

    Request for Advice on Choosing the Appropriate PT100 Sensor

    Dear all, I am planning to replicate a relatively simple experiment, but I have no prior experience in temperature measurement and control. I would like to manage it on my own, but I would appreciate any advice you can provide (even just to avoid unnecessary expenses) on selecting the most...

    10 years sprinkler test (sensitivity and temperature activation)

    Good morning everyone, NFPA 25 requires testing a certain sample of sprinkler heads every 10 years, while EN 12835 mandates it every 25 years. Neither standard, at least to my knowledge, specifies which standard should be used for the tests. I assumed they might follow EN 12259-1 and UL 199...

    Analytically find the 100% in a fire pump curve

    Ok... I can't find it in the catalogue. I think I should ask to the producer tomorrow. It could have been nice to calculate it by myself. Thanks!

    Analytically find the 100% in a fire pump curve

    Thanks. How can I find the BEP?

    Analytically find the 100% in a fire pump curve

    Hi, I have some equally spaced point of a fire pump curve (flow rate-pressure). The data-sheet doesn't show the rated capacity. Is there a way to analytically find it? How the producer of fire pump determine it, once the experimentally obtain the pump curve? Thanks

    NFPA 92A area leakage

    I asked this because I was wandering if someone perform test such as doorfan test in the stairwell before the design. I was wandering if it is a best practice

    NFPA 92A area leakage

    Hi all, Designing a stairwell pressurized with the use of NFPA 92A, there is this table which represents the Leakage Areas of buildings. I particulary appraciate the fact that reference are presented, but I have a question: how can I say if a wall is tight average or loose? Is the choice of...

    Risk Definition

    Hi, the risk R can be estimated by the formula: R = M*P where M is the Magnitude and P is the Frequency. I have two questions now: 1. Does the magnitude depends on the objective of the Analysis, if the Analyisis has as objective the Life Safety, than the M can be quantified in death, if the...

    ISO/TS 16733 Event Tree Analysis and scenario selection

    I am trying to understand how, once all the branches of the Event Tree Analysis are defined, it is possible to decide if a fire scenario should be analysed with a simulation. I don't know an 'a priori' criterion to quantitatively assess the damage (deaths or money), and I don't know which...
