Variable area flow meters, commonly known as rotameters or float flow meters, are widely used for measuring small and medium flow rates of liquids, gases, and steam. This guide outlines key installation precautions and selection criteria to help avoid common errors and ensure optimal performance. 1. Installation Guidelines To ensure accurate measurement and long-term reliability, […]
Hydropower generation harnesses the potential energy of elevated water sources—such as rivers, lakes, or reservoirs—and converts it into mechanical energy via a water turbine, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. As a renewable and environmentally friendly energy source, hydropower plays a vital role in the global energy mix. Pressure sensors are essential

1. Overview of Gate Valve Structure Gate valves are widely used in industrial sectors such as petrochemicals, power stations, long-distance pipelines, and marine applications. They control the flow of media by moving a gate (wedge or parallel plate) between the valve seats to open or close the passage. A typical gate valve is composed of

1. Overview Bar-type flow meters, also known as insertion differential pressure flow meters, operate based on Bernoulli’s principle. By measuring the differential pressure generated across the sensor (total pressure minus static pressure), they calculate flow velocity and volume. Their simple structure, low pressure loss, and ease of installation make them ideal for large-diameter pipelines (typically

1. What Is Temperature and Pressure Compensation? Temperature and pressure compensation refers to the process of correcting flow measurements by accounting for real-time temperature and pressure deviations from standard conditions. These two factors—temperature and pressure—have significant influence on gas and steam flow readings. To achieve accurate flow measurement results, it is essential to apply compensation
1. Introduction Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) are crucial components of chemical process design. They serve to clearly illustrate all equipment, instruments, pipelines, valves, and related utilities in the process system. This document outlines the typical design considerations for pressure, temperature, pumps, and vessel-related P&ID diagrams. 2. Design Pressure 2.1 Terminology Gauge Pressure (G) /
1. Regular Inspections External Inspection: Regularly inspect the radar level meter for any mechanical damage, corrosion, or loose components. Pay special attention to the antenna, checking for any deformation or damage that could affect the transmission and reception of radar waves. Electrical Connections: Ensure that electrical connections are secure to avoid poor contact or aging

1. Differences in Application Requirements Pressure transmitters—especially differential pressure transmitters—often require range adjustments based on specific field conditions. For example, when used for level measurement in sealed tanks, condensation of the gas-phase medium can cause condensate to accumulate in the impulse lines or low-pressure chambers. This creates an unintended static pressure, resulting in output deviation.
