Gill Instruments at EGU 2016 – Instruments for Science

Gill Instruments will be exhibiting at the European Geosciences Union Assembly (EGU) in Austria from 17-22 April 2016 on stand 33.

EGU is the largest international gathering of researchers and scientists focused on all aspects of Earth, Planetary and Space studies.

Visit Gill to understand more about their 3-axis ultrasonic anemometers and weather stations, which are widely used by research councils, national scientific organisations and universities for environmental studies including Eddy Covariance studies of ecosystems and climate change. Recent changes to the Gill WindMaster ultrasonic anemometer bring benefits including improvements to sonic temperature performance and sensible heat flux.

Visitors will also be able to learn about Gill WMO compliant MetPak and MaxiMet weather stations which integrate a range of measurement parameters to provide high quality, compact and reliable weather monitoring for applications including global geological and hydrological research.

Visit stand 33 for more information about how other EGU members use Gill products.

Gill at Oceanology International 2016

Visit Gill Instruments on stand A505 at Oceanology International 2016, 15 – 17 March, ExCel, London. Oceanology is the leading marine science and ocean technology exhibition and conference. 

Gill weather stations and ultrasonic anemometers provide accurate and reliable meteorological measurements on-board ships, data buoys, offshore and general marine applications.

The wide range of instruments from Gill are used in Dynamic Positioning Systems, data buoys (users include UK Met Office), Vessel Tracking Systems, general ships met, Autonomous Surface Vehicles, ports and harbours, structural coastal environments, research vessels, offshore oil and gas (including ATEX), environmental surveys.

Gill products widely used throughout the industry:

> MaxiMet – all-in-one weather stations with the widest range of measurement parameters and output protocols. Reliable and quality measurements with easy installation provide a multi-parameter compact package.

> WindSonic – an ultrasonic anemometer available in plastic and aluminium with optional heating.

> WindObserver – an ultrasonic anemometer in stainless steel with heating options, measure speeds up to 90m/s, ATEX and IECEx available. Used widely in extreme conditions worldwide.

All Gill instruments provide reliable low maintenance measurements and they are well-suited to the extreme conditions found in oceans worldwide.

Please visit us on stand A505, we look forward to seeing you.

Professional Weather Measurement at Oceanology China 2015

Gill Instruments will be exhibiting alongside local distributor PTC at Oceanology International China in Shanghai from 3rd-5th November 2015.

As the offshore energy and marine industries continue to develop at a rapid pace across China, the need for accurate and reliable measurement data within these sectors is becoming more essential. As the only event in Asia to focus on marine technology and ocean science, Oceanology presents the ideal opportunity to connect with international companies, associations and customers from across the industry.

Gill and PTC will exhibit on stand G27 where visitors will be able to see the latest WindObserver90 and WindObserverIS ultrasonic anemometers. These are the latest additions to the popular WindObserver range of stainless steel ultrasonic anemometers. They include wind speed measurements up to 90 metres per second (324kph) along with new features and faster processing, plus ATEX and IECEx approval for the latest intrinsically safe WindObserver ‘WOIS’.

Visitors will also be able to see MaxiMet compact weather stations. Designed and built by Gill in the UK, the full range of options include measurements for wind, temperature, humidity, pressure and precipitation combined with multiple outputs including SDI-12 and Modbus, a low power ‘Eco mode’, GPS, Bluetooth and a compass.

Gill products are chosen for high accuracy and reliability covering a wide range of marine applications including:

  • Data buoys
  • Lighthouses
  • Port Control Buildings
  • Ferries & Cruises Liners
  • Oil Rigs & Support Vessels

Visit us on stand G27 throughout Oceanology International China.

New Products and Calibration Services from Gill Instruments at Met Tech Expo 2015

Visit us on stand 4070 at Meteorological Technology World Expo to see the NEW WindObserver90 ultrasonic anemometer, testing and calibration services and much more.

WindObserver

WindObserver 90 is the latest high speed ultrasonic anemometer in the stainless steel WindObserver range, so now the quality, reliability and intelligent processing in WindObserver will measure wind speeds up to 90 m/s, making it suitable for cyclonic regions around the world. It is now available with optional high power heating – effective against quickly accreting rime-icing or freezing rain conditions.

The new WindObserver IS (75m/s) which is certified for use in intrinsically safe zones now offers faster processing, improved performance and customisation together with two intrinsically safe power supply options. Further improvements across the range include customisable outputs and averaging options.

Next generation Software

Powerful, next generation, browser-based user software is on its way. Demo the new smart-device compatible MetSet and MetView software, which allows advanced customisation through its ergonomic and simple web interface. Users can configure and manage instruments, store data locally and view live and historic data using wired/wireless networking technology including Bluetooth.

MetSet and MetView user software features an intuitive GUI. Configure your device using clearly presented sliders and drop down options and stream data directly via the real-time display. Using MetView, live or historic data can be presented and built-in trend graphs allow configurable time periods.

Configure your instrument to log data directly to your storage device and export CSV data.

Intelligent 3 Axis Anemometer Heating

To address customer challenges with current market approaches to high power heating with 3-axis anemometers, Gill are developing new hardware and signal processing solutions to achieve intelligent and continuous measurements in cold, condensing conditions including extreme events such as freezing rain. Visit the stand for further information and to view/discuss the results from cold weather testing over the past 12 months.

Labcal – testing and calibration services

Gill has recently acquired Labcal, a UKAS calibration service company, providing professional calibration services to internationally recognised standards. A range of instrumentation can be tested and calibrated including gas, pressure, temperature, air speed, liquid flow and humidity. Labcal has over 35 years’ experience and is able to provide the best testing and calibration services for any instrumentation.

Meteorological Technology World Expo takes place from 13th-15th October 2015, in Brussels, Belgium. Visit us on stand 4070 for demonstrations and discussions on how these latest developments can benefit your applications.
