Instrumentation Selected by NASA for Discovery's Final Flight

摘要

ITT Corporation (USA) announces that its Ol Analytical branded total organic carbon analyser (TOCA) and WTW branded VARIO® conductivity temperature m« have been selected by NASA for inclusion on the final flight of the space shuttle Discovery. The instruments will be used by the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) to measure conductivity and analyse water quality. ITT Corporation formed ITT Analytics in March 2010 following the company's acquisition of Nova Analytics, to provide customers with high quality, superior performance analytical instrumentation for measurement and analysis. The Ol Analytical TOCA from ITT Analytics was developed in collaboration with NASA specifically for use on the ISS. The TOCA will be used on-board to analyse the organic carbon level in water that has been processed and purified ensuring it is safe for human consumption in line with SSP 50260, International Space Station Medical Operations Requirements Document. Possessing innovative electrochemical-oxidation technology the TOCA maintains excellent long-term calibration stability providing accurate and dependable data with minimal maintenance. The instrument's color touch-screen display with Windows® CE-based user interface simplifies instrument set-up and access to data, trending and diagnostic screens.
