Can 304 Stainless Steel Bolts Be Used in Flanged Connections?

Overview In pressure vessels, pipeline systems, and high-temperature/high-pressure industrial equipment, flanged connections serve as crucial detachable joints. Bolts play a core role in transferring preload to the gasket, directly impacting sealing performance. Although austenitic stainless steel bolts such as 304 and 316 are sometimes used, many installations report frequent leakage. This document analyzes the reasons […]

Why Flow and Level Measurements Require Detailed Parameters, While Pressure and Temperature Don’t?

In the field of industrial instrumentation, it’s common for engineers and suppliers to request detailed parameters for flow and level instruments, but not for pressure and temperature devices. At first glance, this might seem inconsistent—but there are sound technical and practical reasons behind this practice. In this article, we’ll explore why flow and level measurements

🔧 Pressure vs. Pressure Intensity: What’s the Difference in Engineering?

In physics and engineering, the terms “pressure” and “pressure intensity” (or “stress”) are often confused or used interchangeably. While they are related, they represent different concepts. Understanding their distinction is crucial, especially in technical applications. 1️⃣ What Is Pressure Intensity? Pressure intensity (often simply called pressure) refers to the force applied per unit area. It

🛡️ The Importance of Installing Wind Shields on Differential Pressure Transmitters

Differential pressure transmitters with small measuring ranges are highly sensitive to environmental interference. When installed in wind-exposed areas, strong airflow can create pressure on the negative-pressure port, resulting in inaccurate readings and compromising measurement accuracy. To mitigate the influence of external airflow and environmental fluctuations, it is recommended to install a downward-facing impulse line and
