The helical design has been used in a variety of applications to dampen flow-induced forces that can damage equipment. WIKA uses the same concept to stabilize thermowells and as an efficient and economical way to prevent thermowell mechanical fatigue and failure. One …
Due to its reliability, a float switch is one of the most frequently used measurement technologies for monitoring liquid media levels. It's simple yet effective design consists of a hollow float within a guide tube, rising and falling with liquid levels and activating …
By using thermocouple sensors and plotting temperature measurements at different points in the catalyst bed, syngas plant operators can accurately predict catalyst behavior. The resulting “S” curves – along with shifts and shape changes over time – also give …
In bioethanol production processes, engineers must closely monitor pressure, temperature, level, and flow in order to ensure safe and efficient operations. Diaphragm seals in these applications do double duty: protect pressure measurement instruments from the medium, …
Refineries rely on accurate temperature measurement and monitoring for information about catalyst performance and remaining catalyst life. The key measurements in a syngas (synthesis gas) shift reactor are 1) approach to equilibrium temperatures and 2) exotherm …
