Pyrometers are remote-sensing thermometers used to measure the temperature of distant objects based on their incandescence, which is emitted by hot objects. The word pyrometer comes from two Greek words: pyr, meaning fire, and meter, meaning measure.

This Week We Talked To MurCal’s Director John Murphy, Who Has Worked Here For Nearly 62 Years And Succeeded His Parents, Who Founded The Company, When They Retired.

The Murphy PowerCore MPC-10 Controller is a general, all-purpose manual/auto start and manual/ auto throttling engine controller. This is a powerful controller that supports J1939 CAN protocols for electronically governed engines as well as I/O for mechanical engines for fault and safety shutdowns.

The term solenoid was coined in 1823 by André-Marie Ampère, a French physicist, mathematician and lay catholic who was one of the founders of the science of classical electromagnetism, which he referred to as "electrodynamics". “Solen” in Greek means channel or pipe, which is why he named it Solenoid. Ampère was an autodidact and professor at the École polytechnique and Collège de France, as well as a member of the French Academy of Sciences. The ampere, a SI unit of electric current measurement, is named after him. The Eiffel Tower also features his name among its 72 inscriptions.

Every month from now on, we will highlight someone in our staff that display our Core Values of "Cure What Ails Them", "Be Lean" and "Be Reliable".

We have chosen to support two methods of differential communications. One method is fail-safe biasing of the RS-485 port and the other is SAE’s J1708 Serial Communications between microcomputer systems in heavy-duty vehicle applications. This document is intended to aid you in sharing the data bus with Murphy Controllers.

To get the most out of any control panel, don’t overload the circuits and always use the proper wire for the signal being measured or current load required.

Continuous supply of power is very crucial in any industry, as just a few minutes of power loss could result in considerable damage. Increasing technology innovation has created huge demand for battery chargers that can withstand the need.

The TEC-10 is an electronic controller which provides full control of your engine including auto start/stop, auto throttling and display of engine parameters along with critical faults from the engine/application.

See how one diesel engine distributor customized their FPT N67 T4F Stage V diesel engine installations by working with MurCal to create the vehicle harness and unique user interface that would get the client’s heavy-duty equipment back on the job quickly.

With many catalyst formulations, the sites get masked by soot and lube oil. While CO and VOC’s are able to maintain high conversion efficiencies regardless, formaldehyde is more susceptible and cannot hold up as well. Typically, a catalyst cleaning seems to help but, in many cases, this frequent cleaning becomes a burden.

Developed in Randall County, Texas, the Amarillo Gear Company has transformed gear drives worldwide.
