Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureSelecting an Electrical Temperature Transmitter for mobile working machines such as tractors, harvesters, bulldozers, backhoes, mining machines, forklifts, and industrial trucks work day in and day out under extremely harsh conditions. It is important to monitor the …
The Important Role of Differential Pressure Sensors in Hydroelectric Power Generation
Chad Reinhard | PressureIn hydroelectric power generation, dirt and debris in the intake water can shorten the lifetime of turbine blades. Filters inside intake pipes trap the debris so that only sediment-free water hits the blades. A differential pressure sensor/transducer measures the flow …
Steam Tracing Keeps Process Media Warm and Flowing
Patrick McGrath | Know-how, LevelTemperature is a critical factor in almost all manufacturing and refining processes. As such, process plants have developed a variety of useful technologies related to accurate temperature measurement and control in their operations . Heat tracing is one …
Magnetic Traps: Avoid the Negative Effects of Oxidation in Level Measurement
Patrick McGrath | LevelEven the sturdiest tanks and vessels become susceptible to oxidation as they age. Regular and proper maintenance helps keep them in good shape, yet oxidation still occurs, releasing ferrites into the liquid stream. Ferrites not only alter the quality of the product, …
