Lufft introduces laser-based snow depth sensor SHM31
Some new features of the Lufft SHM31 snow depth sensor include, in particular, the different communication interfaces, which make the sensor fully compatible with Lufft's UMB standards. In addition, the sensor has an integrated window heater for the entry and exit points for the laser beam, as well as an in-built protractor for simple assembly. The sensor is fitted with the RS232, RD485 and ...

ASTM D7755 - 11 standard practice for determining the wear volume on standard test pieces used by high-frequency, linear-oscillation (SRV) test machine
The determination of the wear volume becomes in tribological testing a key element, as it is more discriminative than the wear scar diameter, because an optically visible wear scar diameter may or may not indicate wear on the surface of the ball and the wear track as an irreversible loss of material. Users of this test method should determine whether ...
