An all-in-one water meter for remote locations

Waterflux 3070 (photo) is said to be the first water meter with integrated pressure and temperature sensors. The meter features simplified installation, integrated diagnostics, a long battery lifetime, remote communication options and low overall maintenance requirements. The updated Waterflux 3070…

Achieve faster temperature calibration

The Jofra CTC-1205 compact temperature calibrator (photo) covers a temperature range of 100 to 1,205°C (212 to 2,201°F), with accuracy of±0.2°C (±0.36°F), and stability to±0.1°C (±0.18°F) for the total temperature range, along with improved calibration times when compared to its…

Patented technology for precise position detection

The new PMI F90 inductive positioning system (photo) works with a patented multi-coil system. The absolute position of the actuator is precisely detected from the measuring signals of a single coil. In addition to sending the analog position signal, switch…

Facts at your Fingertips: Distillation

Computer-generated simulations of distillation processes are often validated experimentally. This reference discusses three concepts that influence comparisons between experimental results and simulation predictions: vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) of the components; relative liquid-to-vapor flowrates (L/V ratios in the column); and vapor-liquid contactor…

Pitfalls to Avoid When Generating Cost Estimates

The pitfalls in cost estimating that cause project overruns have been well known for decades, yet they continue to plague the CPI When I first started writing this article, I set out to summarize the mechanics of project cost estimation.…

Energy Recovery in Compressed Air Systems

Users of compressed air can take advantage of heat recovery to enhance their sustainability, improve energy efficiency and reduce system lifecycle costs Air compressors account for a considerable portion of industrial energy consumption, and facilities that employ large-scale air compression…
