Pressure-relief valves are widely and effectively used in situations where the pressure in a process vessel rises to above the vessel’s design-pressure rating. Proper relief-valve sizing is critical to plant and process safety to permit fluids sufficient flow area to…
The RotaMass LR (photo) is claimed to be the world’s smallest dual bent-tube Coriolis mass flowmeter. The unit is designed to be self-draining and to measure both liquids and gases, with a mass flow measurement span from 0 to 40…
Omega Engineering A compact pressure transmitter for easy reading Rangeable industrial pressure transmitters in the PX5100 Series (photo) are compact and feature a backlit display for easy reading that rotates for its location. Wetted parts are made of stainless steel,…
The new Metso Pulp Analyzer provides the first online measurement of micro-scale details of fiber properties, thereby giving pulp and papermakers a tool to help predict how fiber properties will affect final sheet-strength properties. The pulp analyzer features a new…
Virtually every process-plant manager pursues the commendable goals of safely extending equipment life and maximizing both the availability and reliability of plant assets. Achieving these objectives usually requires upfront effort and money — both of which can be scarce resources.…
New measurement program apps for this company’s AliSensor Level System enable users to quickly measure vertical-shaft plumbness to an angle accuracy of down to 0.001 deg. With an adapter, the AliSensor is mounted to the shaft vertically and measurements are…
The FBRM (Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement) is used for tracking the rate and degree of change to particle structures and droplets at full process concentration. FBRM G600L quickly captures particle-change information for fast optimization of crystallization and particle and droplet…
The new LH-20 submersible pressure transmitter has a diameter of only 22 mm, and has an accuracy of up to 0.1%, even in harsh operating conditions. This probe is suited to almost all applications in level measurement with full media…
The design of the new DA 7250 near infrared (NIR) instrument incorporates non-moving optical components, internal temperature stabilization, a static hard drive encased in an IP65-rated housing. The DA 7250 removes and reduces many sources of errors common to other…
While almost all chemical processors employ simulation software during the early design stages of new plants or new lines, simulation vendors say best-in-class facilities take the powerful tools further and use them for improving operations and profitability. And, across the…
