Vortex Flow Meter Output Signals Explained: 4–20mA, Pulse, Modbus, and HART Compared

When selecting a vortex flow meter, choosing the right output signal is as important as choosing the right size or material. Output signals determine how the flow data is transmitted, how easily it integrates into control systems, and what diagnostics or advanced functions are possible. This article compares the most common output types used in […]

Why PTFE Creeps: From Molecular Structure to Macroscopic Deformation

Anyone who works with materials can’t avoid one key term — creep. Have you ever encountered this? A plastic part slowly deforms over time? A PTFE gasket that fit perfectly at installation ends up sagging after a few months? Is this because the material is just too “soft”?Or is there something deeper—perhaps molecular structure—that leads

Should All Parameters in a DCS Be Alarmed?

In modern industrial automation systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) play a critical role in monitoring and controlling various process parameters. However, a common question arises during system configuration: Should every parameter in a DCS have an alarm? The short answer is: not necessarily. Over-alarming can lead to alarm fatigue, unnecessary operator stress, and ultimately reduce
