Temperature Elements

Providing a complete range of thermocouples and resistance thermometers, including standard PT100’s, clamp on, tubeskin thermocouples and multipoint thermometers.

Temperature Switches

A robust device used to open or close a mechanical or electrical switch when a high or low preset temperature has been reached. A low cost way to control temperature critical applications.

Temperature Gauges

We have partnered with Wika for mechanical dial thermometers and digital indicators to provide operators and engineers with process critical temperature information and alarm control.

Thermowells

Application knowledge is critical in thermowell design to prevent failure and ensure product longevity. We can provide engineering support to help you select the right specification.

Train level measurement, gauges and indicators

by Matt Harford | 29/01/2021 | NEWS, ARTICLE, #leveltransmitter, #Transport, #Health&Safety, #AMSensors, #AboutUs, #Rail | 0 Comments

To solve a specific problem with access and the lack of height between a fuel tank and the trains body, AMS have modified the head of our approved level sensors to allow fitting in confined spaces. This development also removed the need for the transmitter to be located in a separate box on the side of the tank and allowed the sensor to be wired directly to the indicators, saving significant additional costs in materials and wiring time.

Train level measurement and control

Refuelling Control Valve and Dry Break Coupling

The Refuelling Control Valve is a float operated servo valve, designed to limit the amount of liquid fed into a tank to a specific level.The coupling prevents fuel leakage when fuelling a locomotive and automatically closes when the fuelling hose coupling is removed.
