When most people think about water purification, they picture filter cartridges, multi-stage filtration, activated carbon, or maybe UV lamps and softeners. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, however, this simplistic logic falls apart entirely. Take any vial of injectable solution. Even if the label lists nothing but “salt” and “water,” the process behind producing that water involves a […]

Gas detection systems for combustible and toxic gases play a critical role in ensuring workplace and environmental safety. The design of these systems must prioritize reliability, real-time response, and robust performance under hazardous conditions. While bus architectures, such as RS485 or CAN bus, are commonly used in various industrial applications due to their simplicity and

During the peak of summer, heavy rainfall and typhoons are frequent occurrences. For industrial instruments exposed to outdoor environments—such as pressure transmitters, flow meters, valve positioners, analytical probes, and junction boxes—rainwater is more than a simple environmental factor. It is a hidden killer that directly threatens their accuracy, reliability, and service life. Neglecting waterproof protection

1. Importance of Temperature Measurement in Reactors Temperature control is critical in chemical reactors to ensure reaction efficiency, product quality, and operational safety. However, the agitator and complex flow patterns inside reactors impose significant challenges on the design and installation of temperature sensors, especially their thermowells. 2. Heat Distribution in Reactors The temperature distribution, or

In industrial automation and instrumentation systems, ensuring reliable power delivery is critical to maintaining continuous operation. Two commonly used strategies to improve power system reliability are dual power supply and dual circuit power supply. Although these terms sound similar, they refer to distinct concepts. This article explains the differences and helps you understand which approach

Instrumentation construction drawing review is a critical step in ensuring safety, quality, and efficiency in engineering projects. A thorough review helps identify potential issues before construction begins, reducing errors, rework, and associated costs, and ensuring smooth project execution. 1. Preparatory Work Before Review “Preparation is the foundation of success.” Before conducting a detailed review of

Introduction To select, operate, and maintain industrial instruments effectively, it is crucial to understand their key quality indicators. These parameters determine whether an instrument can perform reliably and accurately in demanding industrial environments. This guide outlines the six essential quality indicators: accuracy, hysteresis, sensitivity, dead zone, stability, and response time, helping engineers and decision-makers evaluate

Addressing High Temperature, High Humidity, Heavy Rainfall, and Lightning Conditions 1. Environmental Protection: Coping with Summer Hazards 1.1 Heat Dissipation and Temperature Control Inspect cooling components such as fans and ventilation grilles in control cabinets; clean dust, plant debris, or insects that may block airflow. Avoid direct sunlight exposure on instruments; install sunshades or reflective

In the field of flow measurement and process instrumentation, three terms frequently appear: Reynolds number, laminar flow, and turbulent flow. These are not just academic concepts—they are crucial for instrument selection, pipeline design, and process optimization. 🔢 What Is Reynolds Number (Re)? The Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless value used to predict the flow

Automation instrumentation plays a critical role in industrial control systems as the “peripheral nerves” of production. When such equipment reaches the end of its life due to aging, damage, or obsolescence, a standardized decommissioning and disposal process is essential to ensure compliance, safety, and efficient asset turnover. This document outlines the key steps, standards, and
