IntroductionIn the field of materials engineering and product reliability testing, the terms Thermal Cycling and Thermal Shock are often used—but not always clearly understood. Although both involve exposing materials or components to temperature changes, their mechanisms, stress patterns, and application purposes differ significantly. This article breaks down the differences and provides practical guidance for selecting […]

Introduction Fluid equipment plays a crucial role in modern industrial systems, with applications across sectors such as petrochemicals, power generation, metallurgy, environmental engineering, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. These systems are involved in the transportation, treatment, distribution, mixing, heat exchange, and control of fluids, encompassing a range of mechanical, thermodynamic, and chemical processes. 1. Physical Principles

In modern industrial environments, automation systems often comprise a wide range of equipment and software from different manufacturers. These include PLCs, DCS systems, flow meters, gas analyzers, SCADA systems, and HMI software—each with its own communication protocols and data formats. OPC (OLE for Process Control) was developed to address this fragmentation by providing a standardized,

Ensuring that your ground wire is properly grounded is essential for electrical safety. A well-grounded electrical system helps protect individuals and appliances from electrical faults. Here, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to use a multimeter to check the grounding of a wire.🔧 Recommended Tool: For accurate and safe measurements, we recommend using a reliable

Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) and lightning arresters serve critical roles in safeguarding electrical systems from voltage spikes and surges. Although they may appear similar in function, their applications, working principles, and areas of deployment differ significantly. This article delves into the distinctions between SPDs and lightning arresters, helping you make informed decisions for protecting electrical

Introduction In the field of sensor technology, one crucial yet often overlooked aspect is proper grounding. Many customers assume that simply installing a sensor is sufficient, neglecting the importance of grounding. However, failure to ground a sensor properly can lead to unpredictable failures, signal disturbances, or even complete sensor malfunctions. In many cases, customers report

Recently, a mineral processing plant utilizing the SABC milling process has implemented an advanced control system with significant results. Despite the need for manual intervention during unusual conditions such as roller replacements or blockages, the advanced control system has successfully automated most of the milling process. Operators have highly praised the system, emphasizing that a

Introduction The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has gradually moved away from multiple earthing (also known as repeated grounding) in electrical systems. This shift is driven by safety concerns, electromagnetic compatibility, system stability, and the evolving needs of modern power distribution. This article explores the rationale behind IEC’s decision to eliminate multiple earthing and the implications

If you’ve ever tried to communicate with a HART-enabled transmitter and wondered why a 250Ω resistor is essential, you’re not alone. This tiny resistor is a critical piece of the HART communication puzzle—and skipping it could leave you scratching your head with a “dead” signal. In this article, we’ll break down: What HART communication is

1. Introduction In modern industrial control systems, achieving high precision and stability in complex processes is crucial. Various advanced control strategies and techniques have been developed to meet these demands. Among them, the cascade control system is a classic and effective control method widely used in chemical, power, and metallurgical industries. This article provides a
