Wireless tire pressure system for 737s

The SmartStem wireless tire pressure system from Crane Aerospace & Electronics has been approved for use on Boeing 737NG aircraft.

Patented technology offers a means to check tire pressure quickly, accurately, and without gas loss, improving efficiency and safety, according to the manufacturer. Each system consists of high-accuracy SmartStem sensors, which replace the existing standard wheel fill stems, and the handheld reader, which electronically reads and stores tire pressure and temperature.

The simplicity of the system is said to promote daily tire pressure checks, resulting in extended tire life. Operators have the ability to access tire inflation data for preventative maintenance, helping to avoid in-service issues related to low tire pressure and improve dispatch reliability.

SmartStem technology is also certified for a variety of existing aircraft including the 747-400, 777, and 787 Boeing aircraft, and numerous business and regional jets.

Specs

• 100mm x 100mm x 25mm
• Power: 9VDC to 36VDC
• Open-loop and closed-loop control
• Maximum input quadrature encoder frequency: 10MHz

Arc flash analysis software for iOS

Arc flash analysis and labeling software for Apple Inc. iOS operating systems is now available from a company that specializes in creating safer working environments for individuals who service electrical systems by developing on-line and stand-alone software for short circuit, arc flash hazard analysis, and arc flash warning labels. The Arc Flash Analytic version 1.0 (iAFA V1.0) software program works on iPhones, iPods, and iPads.

The iAFA V1.0, which comes with built-in protection device library, will automatically determine arc duration based on predicted arcing current value and selected protection device type and rating. Custom protection devices and manually specified arc duration can be added. All future updates to iAFA V1.0 will be offered free of charge.

Features/Capabilities

• Detailed analysis using the IEEE 1584 equations and the Lee method.
• Ensure compliance with NEC, OSHA, NFPA 70E, IEEE P1584, and CSA Z462 standards and regulations.
• Instantly determine arcing current; incident energy; arc flash; and limited, restricted, and prohibited shock approach boundaries.
• Warning labels in a variety of languages.
• Preview, save arc flash labels in high resolution graphic format.
• Save input configuration, protection device information, equipment image.
• Perform analysis using metric, imperial units.
• Reports including equipment data, calculation results, warning label.
• Download and use iAFA V1.0 on your iPhone, iPod, iPad for free.
