  • WP Series - New low-cost in-line flow meter

    The new WP series flow meter.

    Webtec has added the WP flow meters to its existing range of Webster hydraulic test equipment. The design of the WP meter offers two major advantages over other flow meters of a similar price; namely excellent repeatability over a wide viscosity range and a low pressure drop across the meter. The WP meters are available in a a wide range of flow sizes, different porting options and are compatible with water, hydraulic oils and phosphate esters. The Webster WP series flow meters are ideal for use in hydraulic circuits of both industrial and mobile equipment. Designed for mounting permanently in-line or for intermittent use to aid troubleshooting, typical applications include monitoring pump outlet and case drain flows.

    WP meters cover a large flow range; the smallest meter measures down to 0.5 lpm and the largest up to 550 lpm. WP meters are rated for pressures up to 240 bar and temperatures up to 115 degrees celcious. A full colour brochure is available for download from the Webtec website at: www.webtec.co.uk

  • Webster C1000 Datalogger "Highly Commended" at IFPEX 2000

    Webster Highly Commended at IFPEX

    The Webster C1000 industrial datalogger was "Highly Commended" in the joint DMG / BFPA "Award for Innovation" at IFPEX in April. The C1000 offers a complete solution for hydraulic datalogging in industrial applications. The C1000 is configured to the user's requirements, can accept upto 28 inputs and is capable of measuring flow, speed, pressure, & temperature as well as custom analogue quantities such as torque. Results can be logged, displayed and printed as text and graphical reports. The C1000 features ViscoCorrect (R) automatic viscosity correction, allowing flow to be measured ,ore accurately over a wider viscosity range.

    New CNC turning centre adds an extra dimension.

    As part of Webtecs program of continuous development Webtec Engineering, the manufacturing arm of Webtec Products Ltd, have taken delivery of a new-state-of-the-art 7-axis CNC turning centre. As the requirements of their customers and hence their products change, so must their manufacturing capability. The new turning-centre will allow Webtec to more rapidly machine intricate parts, to high tolerances, as complete items, enabling them to maintain prices while improving technology.

    The Nakamura Tome WT250 lathe features two spindles, with two independant 12 station turrets (all positions will accept driven tooling). The right hand turret has both an X & Y axes. The machine went into full operation in January 2000 and has now been producing parts for almost a month.

    Changes at Webtec that will help you - the customer.

    Webtec have manufactured and distributed two main product lines for over 25 years. During this period their range of
    hydraulic components and their range of hydraulic test equipment have been marketed under the business names
    Webtec Hydraulics and Webster Instruments respectively. As demand has increased, more and more customers have bought products from both ranges, creating unnecessary work and somtimes leading to confusion.

    Webtec therefore no longer use seperate business names with their own letterheads, invoices etc, all transactions will be under the Webtec name. The Webster Instruments business name will no longer be used in the UK, but "Webster"
    will still be kept as a product name for the range of hydraulic test equipment. Similarly "Webtec" will be kept as
    the product name for the range of hydraulic components.
