Pressure measurement is used to ensure safe operation and enhance performance in the fluid power (hydraulics and pneumatics) and process industries. Selecting the appropriate measuring range to ensure that the sensor is not destroyed by overloading the sensing element …
An old adage holds that “oil and water don’t mix,” and that maxim is certainly applicable to today’s sophisticated oil-exploration and pumping operations. Groundwater can interfere significantly with the productivity of a well-drilling operation, which …
When choosing a pressure sensor, one of the many factors to consider is its measuring range. Having the optimal range avoids the risk of overpressure without a loss of accuracy or resolution. Pressure sensors play a key role in the safety and efficiency of …
The term “wetted parts” is used in connection with pressure sensors for all those parts, surfaces and/or components that are (potentially) exposed to or in direct contact with the medium under pressure. In case of a typical pressure sensor this is mainly limited to …
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new rules that will boost emissions-control requirements for the 150 active refineries in the United States. Proper instrumentation can help these refineries reduce fugitive emissions and the steep price tag …
