SUTO-iTEC GmbH Air/Gas Measurement & Analysis

SUTO-iTEC GmbH is a multinational company producing innovative measurement and monitoring products for compressed air and other gases. They have manufacturing bases in both Germany and China which allows them to respond quickly in supporting their clients needs worldwide through constant product development. As a company run by engineers, they always look to challenge preconceptions and innovate with technology to produce successful products with class leading performance.

The SUTO-iTEC range of measuring instruments provides a complete solution for monitoring compressed air/gas quality and consumption through sensors for dew point, oil vapour concentration, particle concentration, flow, power consumption, pressure, temperature and air leakage. These sensors combine with advanced displays, data loggers and monitoring software to produce standalone systems that can also fully integrate into plant control systems.

SUTO offer several thermal mass flow sensor designs to suit varying conditions where the measurement of flow, consumption and temperature are needed for process control, efficiency or custody transfer. They also offer a pitot tube design that is perfect for wet air, gas or steam that conventional thermal mass is not suited for and this is particularly good for high velocity media streams. Completing the flow range is a flow direction switch with no moving parts and an ultrasonic flow meter for liquids.

Oil contamination in compressed air/gas systems can be a major problem and could be in the form of liquid, aerosol or vapour. With vapour being the most difficult to monitor and remove from the system, SUTO developed this compact oil vapour sensor for continuous testing or periodic auditing. It is available without display as a remote sensor or with display and integral data logger for standalone monitoring.

Aside from dew point and oil, particles are the third main contamination to be monitored in accordance with ISO 8573. SUTO offer a range of laser particle sensors for monitoring different combinations particle size bands down to 0.1microns.

SUTO's S 600 is the first truly portable solution for the combined measurement and data logging of dew point, oil vapour and particle concentration. This compact unit has a fully featured touch screen menu system with guided measurement, removing the need for intensive operator training. The built in data logger, PDF report creator and USB interface facilitates ease of access to recorded data for analysis and reporting. A new wall mounted model, the S 601 has now been well received in the market.

SUTO Calibration Services-Measuring Sensors

Why is Calibration required?

• Accuracy Assurance: Annual calibration maintains instrumentation accuracy by identifying and resolving drift brought on by environmental conditions, which guarantees precise measurements
• Regulatory Adherence: To meet regulations, such as the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the pharmaceutical industry, many industries need calibrated instruments. Costly fines and penalties are avoided through calibration
• Quality Control: Accurate measurements and consistent production are made possible by calibration, which is a crucial component of quality control
• Safety: Accurate readings are ensured by calibrating instruments used in safety-critical processes, such as pressure gauges in gas pipelines, which lowers safety risks
• Cost savings: By addressing equipment issues early to prevent larger problems, routine calibration reduces the need for expensive production errors, retests, and adjustments
• Environmental & Operational Factors: Uncontrollable environmental and operational conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and environmental changes, can affect instrument accuracy over time. Regular calibration helps counter these influences, providing reliable measurements despite external challenges
