Rion’s VA-14 takes portable vibration analysis and data collection to a new level
If you’re a vibration expert, you will really appreciate the advanced features of the new Rion VA-14. If you’re a maintenance technician (or you have a team of maintenance technicians) and need a vibration analyser/data collector that will give you powerful results on-site and collect excellent quality data, the VA-14, facilitated by storable user set-ups and VX-14(D) Fault Diagnostics Option, are the perfect solution.
Only a company of Rion’s size and pedigree could develop an instrument that combines ergonomic portability, large and clear colour display, powerful features, ease of use and long battery life.
The VA-14 is really 4 vibration instruments in 1. As a vibration meter it can simultaneously display overall or band-limited displacement, velocity and displacement. As a spectrum analyser, the VA-14 can provide FFT analysis of acceleration, velocity or displacement.

KNF introduces intelligent pump features for fow, pressure and vacuum control and versatile dosing
KNF announces the introduction of four innovative diaphragm pump features for Flow, Pressure, and Vacuum Control as well as Versatile Dosing. These solutions set a new benchmark for precision, reliability, and adaptability. For liquid metering applications, KNF has developed the FMS-FC 1.400. This diaphragm pump with integrated Flow Control uses a precise fow sensor and ensures precise, accurate , and stable liquid delivery. It achieves a maximum fow rate of 3 .4 l/min, a maximum pressure of 6 bar (rel.) and offers a maximum suction height of 3 mH 2 O.
Trescal USA, the nation’s premier authority in calibration and metrology services, announced a signifcant strengthening of its domestic operations. In a period marked by industry-wide consolidation and the closure of competitors, Trescal is moving in the opposite direction, expanding its footprint and deepening its commitment to the American industrial base.
Trescal’s resurgence is supported by a network of 20 laboratories, headlined by a fagship on each coast: Silicon Valley and Melbourne.
The Silicon Valley laboratory is tailored to the rigorous compliance needs of the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device sectors. It offers ISO 17025 accredited services specifcally for the instrumentation critical to GxP environments, ensuring data integrity and regulatory adherence.
Another intelligent liquid diaphragm pump innovation is the FD 1.200 with Versatile Dosing which delivers precise and repeatable volumes for demanding applications. For this, it uses advanced stepper motor technology and actively actuated valves.
