Monitoring Air Quality Indoors

The quality of air in an indoor environment is assuming greater importance considering the increased pollutants in the air; in South East Asia countries like Indonesia are constantly affected by wild fires and the debris in the air constitute a health hazard. Airborne particle counters help in determining the state of the air for health as well as environmental hygiene is concerned. Particle sizes from 0.1 to 100 micrometers can be detected.

Basically a particle counter is what it means; counts the number of particles; the methodologies used are by light scattering (for smaller sized particles); amount of light that is redirected by a particle when subjected to a light passing through it in a given area. The redirection is called light scattering. This technique is also utilized in monitoring ultrapure water in semiconductor fabrication. Light blocking method is another technique in measuring particles. This method is used to find contaminants in hydraulic fluid and results help in reducing downtime and costly breakdowns due to hydraulic system failures. The third technology in detecting particles is direct imaging; a cell is illuminated by laser where particles are passing the cell.



A typical particle counter use is maintaining a clean room; continuous monitoring by an array of sensors and connected to a remotely facility monitoring system with programmable logic controllers can immediately signal when the air quality of the given area crosses a predetermined threshold. Hand held particle counters are being increasingly used in monitoring indoor office and school environments that are stressed.

Thermometer Calibration Services by Tridinamika

Indonesia has depended on Tridinamika for the past 14 years in terms of its test and measuring equipment servicing needs, including thermometer calibration.

Thermometer Calibration, Significance and Standards

Thermometer calibration is a procedure that ensures accurate results provided by the temperature-measuring instrument. At the core of the process is a comparison between a thermometer’s actual temperature and national and international standards. The instrument is placed in a normally temperature-stable environment, and the standard reading is compared with the reading from the thermometer. The difference becomes the basis for the calibrator to make adjustments, so that both data are consistent with each other. To ensure optimum performance, thermometers and all other test and measurement equipment must be tested regularly (at least once a year). At Tridinamika, calibration is provided with proper documentation in line with the ISO 9000 and ISO 17205 calibration programs.

Relevance of Thermometer Calibration

Various industries rely on precise data. When the instrument used is not properly calibrated, it can give the wrong information, leading to the wrong actions taken. In a restaurant, for example, certain foods have to be cooked at certain temperatures. If the food thermometer’s readings are false, a chef could end up serving under cooked or overcooked dishes. Accurate readings are more critical in the medical care setting, where wrong data can compromise the health and even the lives of patients. In Indonesia, different companies and organizations in various industries rely on Tridinamika’s expertise in thermometer calibration. The company only employs skilled technical engineers and provides expert-controlled environments, not to mention state-of-the-art technologies to ensure quality calibration of thermometers and other test and measuring equipment.

Spectrum Analyser Types and Form Factors with Tridinamika

Tridinamika is Indonesia’s main supplier of spectrum analysers, boasting a whole range of brands from different regions of the globe. Spectrum analysers are instruments that determine the amount of input signal against frequency throughout the instruments’ entire frequency range. Their main purpose is to determine how much power known and unknown signals of the spectrum have a useful aspect in the characterization of electronic devices.  

Types of Spectrum Analysers

Spectrum analysers can be classified as a certain type by considering the methods that are used for getting a signal’s spectrum. Basically, there are two types of spectrum analysers – swept-tuned and FFT-based. A swept-tuned spectrum analyser makes use of a superheterodyne receiver for down-converting a certain part of the input signal spectrum (this can be done with a mixer and a voltage-limited oscillator) into a band-pass filter’s center frequency. On the other hand, an FFT spectrum analyser calculates the Discrete Fourier Transform, otherwise known simply as DFT, a mathematical process which converts the input signal’s waveform into its frequency spectrum’s components.

Spectrum Analyser Form Factors

There are four form factors spectrum analysers may fall under, namely networked, handheld, benchtop, and portable. Networked spectrum analyzers don’t come with a display, but they are capable of linking the analyser to a network and keep track of various devices simultaneously. Handheld versions are obviously suitable for scenarios where the tool needs to be small, light and compact. Benchtops come in handy for applications in which the device must be plugged into an electric socket (such as in production areas or laboratories). Finally, portable spectrum analysers are those that must be used outdoors or must simply be carried around during use. Discover Tridinamika spectrum analysers today.

Different Types of Particle Counters from Tridinamika

Tridinamika, Indonesia’s leading dealer of test and measurement equipment, offers a whole range of particle counters for various applications. These instruments mainly detect as well as count particles in different tested substances.

How Do Particle Counters Work?

Particle counting is possible through any of three routes – scattering of light, obscuration of light and direct imaging. Particles are illuminated by high-intensity light, normally halogen light or a laser, as they pass through a detection vessel. When light is redirected, it is captured by a photo detector. In direct imaging, illumination is provided by halogen light while a high magnification camera captures images of the traversing particles. Computer software is then used to analyze the data. In obscuration or light blocking, loss of light will be detected. The device will measure how much light is scattered and blocked, and the particles are counted.

Types of Particle Counters

There are three types of particle counters – aerosol, liquid, and solid. Aerosol particle counters assess the quality of air by analyzing suspended particles. The purpose is usually to know how many particles are present in a building or in ambient air, or to obtain a precise evaluation of a controlled environment’s level of cleanliness.  Liquid particle counters determine the quality of fluids, like cleaning solutions and drinking water, or the cleanliness of sensitive items such as injectable drugs. Solid particle counters determine the amount of dry particles for various industrial applications, such as assessing the size of rocks that have been put under a crusher in a mining quarry environment. Explore these particle counters and more at Tridinamika.

Power Quality Analyzers

Engineers often come across complicated issues related to power distribution. When a device or machine does not work to its optimum or a circuit keeps tripping under load, one of the suspects when the usual possibilities are ruled out is the quality of the signal. 

Power quality analyzers from Fluke or other manufacturers are used to study various electrical parameters such as flicker, inrush current, imbalances between current and voltage. These devices are also excellent tools to measure harmonic currents, voltage value swells and dips, amperage and most importantly the voltage. The huge amounts of data collected by the technician will help him point to a cause of the problem and take necessary remedial steps.

Power Quality Analyzers from Fluke are usually inbuilt with several safety features. Vendors such as Tridinamika have an excellent selection of analyzer devices for all kinds of use and serve most of Indonesia.

There is a lot of planning involved before the actual analysis is undertaken. An experienced engineer will usually make a sketch of the circuit and mark out the measurement points. The data need to be read and interpreted accurately; else the entire exercise will be futile. Usually the data can be transferred to a device such as laptop for a detailed analysis later. The latest generation of power quality analyzers come with several inbuilt features that help the engineer identify many issues immediately. It is important that the technician exploits all the features of the device to get the best analytical result. 

Multifunction Calibrator

Calibrators are great scientific tools that can be used to calibrate an amazing range of parameters. They can measure and calibrate signals ranging from temperature, electrical frequency, pressure and so on. A multifunction calibrator is usually a hand held device and is very compact. 

Usually these devices come with simple to operate buttons and knobs, and menus that are easy to understand and use. Some of the leading manufacturers of quality calibrators such as Fluke, Agilent, Tektronix, Comsys, Cometech and Kanomax are available with Tridinamika, among the leading suppliers of measuring and testing instruments in Indonesia.

If the calibrator is intended for field use, you need to check if the device of your choice will be suitable for continued hand held use, provided the range of calibration parameters and features you are looking for are limited. Else, you might need to opt for bench calibrators that have much more features, but may not be suitable for outdoor or hand held use. Based on the end application, you will have a variety of choices. 

Without a multifunction calibrator, most of the current generation of high tech devices will not work optimally. With Indonesia being among the leading base for high technology manufacturing in Asia, you will find that multifunction calibrators are in high demand across the country. With dealers such as Tridinamika capable of supplying these devices in most of the cities within the country, the manufacturing industry in Indonesia has been thriving. Indonesian products are now in great demand across the globe.
