Software update helps improve industry data quality

Newly released PetrisWINDS Data-Vera 8.31 promises new and enhanced features that help oil and gas companies improve the quality of their data across the enterprise.

This version includes the ability to store projects and job results in MS SQL Server 2008 databases in addition to previously supported Oracle and JavaDB database systems.

With the addition of a Quick Start Connection wizard, DataVera now provides users the ability to profile data just minutes after connecting, using prebuilt models and rules that have been verified by this firm for E&P applications data. The basic setup and industry-wide quality checks for data source types are already built so organizations can concentrate on quality requirements specific to their business, the firm notes.

DataVera 8.31 helps organizations deal with high volumes of data by offering tools designed to evaluate, correlate, correct, monitor, and synchronize data across the enterprise.

New sealed signal connector

Here's a fully sealed RoHS compliant high-temperature signal connector.

The Metr1x Series is designed to provide 100% signal integrity in harsh environments as well as increased functionality and vibration resistance in complex thermodynamic conditions. The series is available in housing variations to suit heavy diesel or gas engines and power generating units.

Connectors operate at 100 v DC with a current rating of 4A and provide complete EMI shielding. Devices conform to UL94-V0. The stainless steel design, sealed to IP69K standards, remains fully dry and functional even in conditions involving heavy salt spray, engine oil, diesel, kerosine, and similar noxious fluids, the company points out.

Proved in temperatures as high as 150o C., connectors withstand vibration up to 20G and shock to a maximum of 50G, protecting vital signals particularly during combustion control and regulation procedures.

Available in multiple receptacle variations, the connectors feature CGK size 20 contacts.
