Surface Roughness of Flange Sealing Faces: Principles, Types, and Practical Guidelines

1. Role of Surface Roughness in Flange Sealing Surface roughness of the flange sealing face is a critical factor in ensuring a leak-tight connection. A controlled “serrated” finish enables the gasket to undergo plastic deformation and interlock with the flange surface. Proper roughness creates sufficient frictional resistance to prevent gasket blow-out under internal pressure. The

Are Most Flowmeter Problems Caused by Installation?

A Practical Guide to 9 Common On-Site Installation Issues Flowmeters are indispensable instruments in modern industrial processes. Yet, many measurement inaccuracies, maintenance challenges, or even outright failures are often not due to the meter itself—but rather to improper installation practices.From insufficient straight pipe lengths for electromagnetic flowmeters, to misaligned filters in rotameters, or incorrectly oriented

Understanding Why a 250Ω Resistor is Needed in HART Communicators

HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communicators play an essential role in industrial process control by facilitating two-way digital communication over 4-20 mA current loops. These devices are widely used for configuration, diagnostics, and maintenance of field instruments. One notable requirement when using a HART communicator is sometimes having to include a 250Ω resistor in series

Instrument Selection in Chemical Plants: Intrinsically Safe or Explosion-Proof?

1. Introduction In the design and operation of chemical installations, the choice of instrumentation is not only related to production efficiency but also to intrinsic safety. In hazardous areas such as Zone 2, the explosion protection type of field instruments becomes a key decision. This article compares Intrinsically Safe (IS) and Explosion-Proof (Ex-d) instruments from

What is a Surge?Technical Guide for Industrial Instrumentation

1. Definition of Surge A surge (also called a transient overvoltage/overcurrent) refers to a short-duration pulse that appears on power or signal lines. Time scale: From nanoseconds to milliseconds. Amplitude: Peak values often exceed more than twice the steady-state voltage/current. Waveform: Typical waveforms include 1.2/50 μs voltage waves and 8/20 μs current waves. Essentially, a

Why Do Wear-Resistant Ball Valves Fail Prematurely with Internal and External Leakage? Root Causes Beyond Sealing Issues

1. Introduction Wear-resistant ball valves serve as critical control points in industrial fluid transportation systems. Once failure occurs, even minor issues may cause media leakage, while severe cases can lead to equipment seizure, production downtime, and costly repairs. This document analyzes common failure modes of wear-resistant ball valves, identifies underlying causes, and proposes preventive measures.

Why Does a Flat Metal Diaphragm in a Transmitter Exhibit Linear Characteristics?

1. Introduction In pressure and differential pressure transmitters such as the 1151 series, the measuring diaphragm is made of a flat metal sheet. At first glance, the pressure–displacement relationship of a flat diaphragm should be non-linear. However, under specific design and installation conditions, the diaphragm behaves in a nearly linear manner, which is essential for
