Vaisala, the world leader in measurement technology, is expanding the service offering to ISO/IEC 17025 accredited carbon dioxide calibrations. In the initial phase the accredited calibration services will be offered to the Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide GMP250 Series. Later during 2018, the service will be available also for the Vaisala GMP220 Series.
​
New accredited calibration service is answering to quality system requirements of the demanding safety and manufacturing processes, especially in pharmaceutical and food industry. Accurate carbon dioxide measurement helps maintain correct pH-levels in cell cultivation and optimal indoor or process air. Incorrect readings may lead to costly and incorrect decisions or even life danger in the most critical applications.

Monitoring typhoons and inclement weather is key to the airport’s daily operation

Baron, the worldwide leader in critical weather intelligence, working closely with Mitel Broadband Co., Ltd., announce that we have been selected to provide upgrades to the existing Baron radar that has served the Taiwan airport for over 15 years. The airport will take delivery of two Baron 350,000-watt C-band magnetron transmitters and a new antenna. The dual transmitters provide a hot-redundant back-up system which provides an immediate switch-over function to ensure continuous operation.

Taoyuan International Airport is both the world’s tenth-busiest international passenger airport with over 42 million passengers, and the sixth-busiest in terms of international freight traffic. The airport moves over 2.1 billion kg (4.6 billion pounds) of cargo. Operationally the radar is used to monitor for inclement weather and typhoons, and there’s good reason. Super typhoon Nesat disrupted air travel when all arriving and departing flights were cancelled in July 2017. In July of 2016, the airport took preemptive measures to ensure that the facility did not flood due to super typhoon Nepartak. A super typhoon is equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic basin.
