In chemical plants, control rooms—including central control rooms, on-site control rooms, and equipment cabinet rooms—serve as the nerve centers of operations. These spaces house a variety of high-precision electronic devices, such as computers, servers, and communication equipment, which are essential for monitoring and controlling production processes. Given the sensitivity of these devices, the implementation of […]

In instrumentation field installations, the excessive length of cables beyond the actual required usage can lead to multiple issues. This article explores the four primary risks: economic impact, signal transmission accuracy, construction efficiency, and operational maintenance. 1. Economic Impact Excessive cable length directly contributes to increased procurement costs. With the current rise in non-ferrous metal

Introduction Diaphragm gas meters, also known as membrane gas meters, are widely used instruments for measuring gas flow. With the acceleration of urbanization and the widespread adoption of gas supply systems, accurate gas measurement has become crucial for both residential and commercial users. Diaphragm gas meters are favored for their simple structure, affordability, high accuracy,

1. The Necessity of Insulating Double-Flange Capillary Tubes Whether double-flange capillary tubes require insulation depends on the specific application environment and conditions. Below are the key scenarios: 1.1 Generally, Insulation is Not Required Under normal operating conditions, the filling liquid inside double-flange capillary tubes (e.g., silicone oil) is designed to adapt to environmental temperature changes

In industrial, laboratory, and outdoor environments, instrument protection boxes and insulation boxes serve critical but distinct purposes. While both are designed to protect their contents, they differ significantly in terms of functionality, materials, design priorities, and application scenarios. This article will explore the differences between these two types of boxes and provide insight into their
