Advantages of in-situ calibration using the example of pressure switches
| Jing Lyu | ApplicationsIn-situ calibration of measuring instruments is carried out in numerous industrial processes. The advantages are obvious: The instruments remain installed, so the process does not have to be opened. In this way, plant operators reduce the time and costs involved in …
Injectables: Pressure measurement without risk of contamination
| Jing Lyu | ApplicationsInjectables are among the most sensitive products in the pharmaceutical industry. Sterility is essential during production. This is because the active ingredient enters the patient's body directly, bypassing the patient's natural defences. It is therefore important to …
Calculate the flow rate correctly
| Michael Lutz | Applications, FlowMillions of cubic metres of liquids or gases flow through the pipes of industrial processes every day. In order to be able to transport, control and monitor these correctly, the flow rate must be calculated beforehand. The flow rate, also called volume flow, is a …
Pressure monitoring for mobile tanks in pharmaceutical processes
| Jing Lyu | ApplicationsPressure monitoring in mobile tanks is an important measuring task in the pharmaceutical industry. Among other things, it enables users to check whether the containers are leak-tight during transport. In the case of active ingredients, this is an absolute necessity. …
