Introduction Traditionally, steam trade settlements relied on mass measurement due to limited technological capabilities. Both domestically and internationally, this approach was widely accepted despite long-standing questions about its fairness. The preference for mass measurement stemmed from its simplicity compared to the more complex heat measurement methods, especially when analog instruments dominated the landscape. With advancements […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming many industries, and its impact on flow meters, instrumentation, and measurement automation is significant. By integrating AI with these technologies, the industry is moving towards smarter, more efficient, and highly adaptive systems. Below, we delve into how AI is shaping this field and explore potential future developments in greater detail.

Introduction Instrumentation failures can significantly impact industrial processes, so prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential. The first step in troubleshooting is to thoroughly understand the working environment, process conditions, and structural characteristics of the instrument. Before starting repairs, collaborate with technical staff to analyze the root causes of the issue. Additionally, determine whether the instrument

I. Instrumentation Engineer 1. Design and Planning Participate in developing instrumentation system design plans based on project requirements. Factor in process needs, safety standards, and cost control. Select appropriate instruments by evaluating reliability, precision, and compatibility with the intended application. For instance, in a petrochemical plant, selecting flame-proof instruments for hazardous areas ensures safety compliance.

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
