The selection of gaskets for instruments depends on specific application scenarios, including factors such as temperature, pressure, and the type of medium. Choosing the right gasket is crucial for ensuring the sealing performance and reliability of the instrument. Based on material, common gaskets for instruments are classified into three main categories: 1. Non-Metallic Soft Gaskets […]

The idea that electrical and instrumentation (E&I), equipment, and safety are “three independent silos” is a perspective that may seem plausible but does not reflect reality in well-managed organizations. However, in situations where communication and management are lacking, such silos may indeed arise, leading to inefficiencies or even operational risks. Understanding the Roles of E&I,

Effective supervision and inspection are crucial components of on-site management. Every manager understands the importance of these activities, but knowing precisely what to inspect and how to inspect is essential to achieving desired results. This article outlines six key categories with detailed inspection points to help enhance the effectiveness of on-site management. 1. Personnel On-site

In various operational scenarios involving gas detection, hazardous gases often pose significant threats to both safety and productivity. These include: Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) Chlorine (Cl₂) Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) Hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylene) Methane (CH₄) Hydrogen (H₂) Ammonia (NH₃) To mitigate risks, portable gas detectors are widely used in diverse applications, from oil and gas

Hydrogen is emerging as a key player in the future of clean energy. However, the safe handling of this highly flammable gas requires a clear understanding of detection technologies and associated risks. Misconceptions around hydrogen detection can lead to hazardous oversights. This article aims to clarify these issues by dispelling three common myths, explaining key

Introduction With the rapid development of hydrogen energy technologies, liquid hydrogen has emerged as a high-efficiency, clean energy source widely applied in energy storage, transportation, and industrial production. However, storing and distributing liquid hydrogen involves complex operations under low-temperature and low-pressure conditions. Its high propensity to vaporize at ambient temperature and pressure necessitates precise control

The industrial landscape has witnessed transformative shifts over the centuries, with each phase of development bringing new paradigms and technologies. Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 are two such revolutionary phases that have reshaped how we think about manufacturing, technology, and human involvement. Although Industry 5.0 builds upon the foundation laid by Industry 4.0, the two

Selecting materials with suitable corrosion resistance is critical for ensuring the durability and performance of industrial instruments. This article provides a detailed comparison of commonly used materials and their resistance to various corrosive environments. 1. Tantalum (Ta) Key Features: Tantalum exhibits excellent corrosion resistance. It is particularly resistant to hydrochloric acid and aqua regia, making

Instrument maintenance is a critical task essential to ensuring operational safety and stable production processes. It embodies the philosophy of Total Quality Management by emphasizing prevention over correction. As we approach the safety month, it is imperative that instrument maintenance personnel diligently perform daily maintenance to guarantee smooth and efficient instrument operation.
