The Engineering team at Burns has for many years enjoyed the air temperature measurement challenges in clean rooms, HVAC, storage areas, transportation, compressor rooms, production areas, environmental chambers, critical office areas….. 

 .

.

.

.

In some instances it’s all about durability and accuracy. 

.

.

. 

. 

In other cases the challenge is measuring the temperature of the  AIR and not the WALL or some other influence within the wall.

.

Burns brings to these applications;  a myriad of design styles and adaptations, the wisdom that can be found in the series of technical papers on PRT Sources of Error and a passion for creative problem solving.

Share with us your Air temperature measurement challenge and we’ll get the team engaged in making you a hero!  Call us at 952-935-4400, email us at info@burnsengineering.com or comment here on the BEblog.

We are ready to discover, design and create something to insure your success.  That’s just the stuff we like to do….

NCSLI in Florida was the place to be in early August.

John Zwak presented a paper on Using an Ice bath to approximate the Triple Point of Water (TPW)

John and Bill Bergquist also participated in the EXPO.  We had a little fun with the ICE theme..  It’s all about the ICE, ice bath, TPW, Minnesota ice fishing and the interesting combination of all three….

At Burns we believe in bring to your PRT and Temperature Calibration needs a practical and valuable perspective that will have a positive Impact on your Business….  If you missed us, send us a note at:  info@burnsengineering.com, comment on the BEblog, give us a call or stop by visit us in Minnesota.  Remember if you wait until January, that ice theme comes back in full force.

 See you next year at NCSLI 2009 in San Antonio.  Metrology’s Impact on Global Trade

Practical temperature measurement insights is Burns’ contribution to Metrology’s Impact on Global Trade…

The best things come in small packages.  I’ve heard that phrase many times.  Recently the engineering team at Burns has been working on a stealth project to evaluate material and process approaches for the purpose of; mini, tiny, micro and just little RTD’s.  We code named the project SLIM and gave it a mascot….

We discovered some interesting materials and process options, and broke a few assumptions and perceived constraints.  Then, in the design mode, applied these ideas and created a few new RTD’s for various applications throughout the BioPharma, Food & Beverage, PetroChem and Ethanol industries.  These little RTD’s play a role in Bearing temperature monitoring, product transit condition monitoring and various surface sensing and tight locations where addition temperature profile and awareness is important to the process.

The team had a blast think beyond the rules, historical approaches and known materials.  In true “achieve, change and improve” mode, we are doing it again.

Originally design in 1975, the Burns Engineering Underwater PRT has found itself serving many submerged needs in industries from Power generation to Paper processing; helping to protect the delicate aquatic environment. 

In Minnesota it’s all about the Walleye… 

The Burns Underwater PRT spends so much time underwater it’s beginning to grow gills

In my search, DNR within every state in the US has regulation and guidelines for Industrial water discharge temperature to insure protection of the lakes, rivers and streams.

.

We all have a responsibility to care for our world.  This is one way Burns Engineering supports a Greener Globe!

What can we do to help you protect the environment?

…There’s a saying that goes something like this…

“Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.” 

It appears the PIA agent at Interphex2008 believes that also…

The work at Interphex is certainly important, but the P.I.A agent found that at ROVISYS, a leading provider of process automation solutions, they take their work seriously, yet are willing to have a little fun as well.

The PIA agent at Interphex is serving people;  Serving them each a summons. 

But it’s OK…  If you weren’t able to travel to Philadelphia for the event, click here to visit our PIArelief web page and BE relieved – from hassles with the PIA, the FDA, CFR, GMP, CAPA … you name it!

Also, check out the Interphex blog:  PharmTeck Talk  to see what else is happening.

Whether your at the Interphex ‘08 event or just curious about what’s happening….  

Michelle Hoffman, Editor-in-Chief of PharmTech.com,
welcomes folks to the PharmTech Blog.  The awesome thing is, it’s happening live and ongoing directly from Interphex’08.

When it comes to biopharma manufacturing processes, we know you’ve got a lot to deal with, like the P.I.A., for instance. (NOTE: The P.I.A. – Process Investigation Association – is in no way related to the FDA, they’re just meaner!)

So for all you folks at INTERPHEX ‘08, beware of being served a summons by our very own P.I.A. agent. When you receive your summons, relax and be sure to visit us Burns Engineering at Booth #458 for relief.

We have trained personnel from Burns Engineering standing by; experts in how temperature plays a role in your biopharma process. They are ready to assist you with solutions and relief, not only from the P.I.A., but from the FDA, CFR, GMP, CAPA, P3-A, ASME-BPE Standards and SIP/CIP system validation and certification issues!

So who knows? With all the temperature-measurement solutions he can lead you to, our P.I.A. agent at INTERPHEX ‘08 could turn out to be your best friend!

(Stay tuned for more reports coming from the show floor of INTERPHEX ‘08 over the next few days.)
