Selection of Orifice Plate, Nozzle, or Venturi Tube for Erosive Fluids

In differential pressure flow measurement, the orifice plate, flow nozzle, and Venturi tube are the most commonly used primary elements. All three belong to the category of standard differential pressure devices, as defined in GB/T 2624, where their flow coefficients and discharge characteristics are well-established and can be used without individual calibration when designed and […]

Three Scenarios in Control System Design

Control system design is often guided by specific process requirements. Based on these requirements, necessary measuring instruments and actuators can be added. However, the design process can vary significantly depending on the current system setup and any changes in the operational environment. The three key scenarios in control system design are: Complete Control System Design

Is the Installation and Commissioning Process of Radar Level Gauges Complex?

The installation and commissioning of radar level gauges are not particularly complex but require strict adherence to guidelines to avoid measurement errors—especially when dealing with high-viscosity or high-temperature media, such as asphalt. The key to success lies in attention to detail, such as installation location and probe calibration. The overall process can be divided into

Pre-Shipment Aging Process of Instruments

The pre-shipment aging process (also known as “pre-aging” or “seasoning”) refers to the procedure in which manufacturers simulate actual usage environments and conditions before the instruments leave the factory. This involves continuous power-on, loading, or operation for a period of time to stimulate potential failures and stabilize performance parameters. In simple terms, it is like

Comparison of Two-Wire and Four-Wire Systems in Ultrasonic Level Meters

In industrial automation instruments, such as ultrasonic level meters and pressure transmitters, two-wire and four-wire systems are common wiring methods for signal transmission and power supply. The core differences lie in the power supply method, wiring structure, and suitability for different applications. Below is a detailed comparison of these two systems. Core Differences: A Comparative

Pressure Differential Flow Meters: Adjusting Range and Recalculation After Commissioning

Overview: Differential pressure flow meters are widely used in industrial applications to measure flow rates by calculating the difference in pressure across a restriction in the pipe. It is common for the original range of the flow meter to be inadequate once the system is in operation. This article discusses how to handle such situations

The Power of Reactors in Chemical Engineering

In the realm of chemical production, reactors are often the core equipment, pivotal for achieving efficient and safe chemical reactions. Understanding a reactor’s true nature requires an engineering perspective, as it is more than just a “heatable container”—it is a complex system that integrates thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, material science, and automation control. 1. The Essence

Why Does a Smaller Pipe Diameter Affect the Accuracy of Flow Meters?

Many may have noticed that when the pipe diameter is equal to or slightly larger than the flow meter’s measuring pipe diameter, the flow readings remain stable, and the flow coefficient is normal. Even if secondary flow occurs, the impact on the instrument is minimal. However, when the situation reverses and the pipe diameter becomes
