Instruments Under Wraps

Synopsis: Recorded at British Cellophanes’s factory in Bridgwater. Includes interviews with the project engineer and two senior instrumentation technicians who explain the operation of, and philosopy behind, the choice of instrument systems used in the plant. Looks at an online density measuring system for measuring the density of a flowing liquid, a pneumatic temperature sensor used in an aspirator for measuring humidity of drying air, an electromagnetic flowmeter, and a home-made level detector which relies on the presence of a conducting liquid to damp out the oscillations in an electrical circuit. Concludes with a brief look at the company’s attitudes to installing new instrumentation.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
