1. Introduction The target type flow switch, also known as a paddle flow switch, is a mechanical flow-sensing device composed of a target plate, sensing mechanism, and signal processing unit. It is widely used in industrial automation, water treatment systems, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), and refrigeration systems. 2. Working Principle The design is […]
📌 Background In a 200,000-ton/year Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) production unit, pressure transmitters located at the fractionation tower outlet were frequently failing due to severe corrosion. The process medium contained high-temperature, moist hydrofluoric acid (HF), which quickly attacked the Monel diaphragm of the pressure transmitters. On average, the transmitters lasted only 2–3 days before showing drifting
