Check friction clutches using the chain hoist test set
Markus Heidl | ForceChain hoists are used for lifting and lowering freely moving loads. As a lifting device, the chain hoist supports, for example, ergonomic lifting during assembly work or even makes this possible in the first place. Conveyor technology or crane systems are further …
Difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure measurement
Michèle Beyer | Know-howAgain and again, we are asked the question about the difference between an absolute pressure measurement and a gauge pressure measurement. To answer this question it helps to look at the definition of gauge pressure and absolute pressure. The difference between the two …
Calibration with portable instruments in hazardous areas
Marco Wörner | ApplicationsWhen one looks at it objectively, most industrial plants constitute a hazardous zone. Many materials necessary for process operation, and also finished products, are flammable or explosive. The more of these materials are needed for the manufacturing process or are …
New ScrutonWell ® design for thermowells
Kai Grabenauer | TemperatureIn order to avoid any damage to the thermowell during operation due to mechanical loads, a thermowell calculation per ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 is recommended for critical process conditions. In case of a calculation with negative results, the only constructive solution so …
