This methodology can be used not only for laminar flow, but also for the complete turbulent flow region In recent decades, the impact of energy costs on the transport of fluids has led to a significant reduction in fluid velocity…
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…
As E&C companies strive to develop Building Information Modeling (BIM) 6D models for the owners and operators of CPI facilities, strong efficiency gains benefit all parties Truly transformational change is upon the engineering and construction (E&C) industry, and some consider…
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.…
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…
The LFV Series 8000 two-way inert solenoid valve (photo) is a miniature device whose small size ensures a more compact instrument footprint and means less fluid is needed, enabling closer valve spacing. These two-way, chemically inert, isolation-style valves provide an…
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…
This company’s Viewin Technology greatly facilitates seal identification and maintenance by providing wireless record-keeping in a mobile app (photo). Users can access relevant seal information immediately, even when equipment is running. Each ViewIn-enabled seal is equipped with RFID tags that…
The new Masterflex L/S variable-speed console drives (photo) sit neatly on a bench or in a fume hood in any laboratory, providing simple operation with single-turn speed control. These drives accept nine different Masterflex L/S peristaltic-pump-head types. With a flow…
This company has released a new fleet of 100% oil-free air (OFA) compressors (photo) that are compliant with the most stringent emissions standards in North America, feature ISO class 0 air out and deliver 1,600 ft 3 /min at air…
