Technology developments frequently focus on overcoming the weaknesses and shortcomings of existing products. Sometimes, however, older technologies are better suited to an application than their newer, shinier counterparts. That was the case of the skid …
The air filters of gas turbines at power plants eventually get clogged with particulate matter and sludge, decreasing operating efficiency and power generation. Turbine filters must be monitored for cleaning or replacement as required. An ideal solution is to use a …
When it comes to level measurement, instrumentation with a brightly colored, reflective flag systems are easy to see from a distance and in dark spaces. Better visibility keeps operators safe and processes running efficiently. Operator and process safety are top …
Thermocouples come in either grounded or ungrounded variants, which refer to whether the measuring point is welded to the sheath (grounded) or not (ungrounded). There are benefits, but also some tradeoffs, of using grounded vs. ungrounded thermocouples. …
Venturi nozzles enable the measurement of flow rates in pipelines by reference to changes in fluid pressure when passing through a constricted area. With Venturi flow meters, you will see notably better pressure recovery compared to orifice-style flow meters. One …
