Controller tuning is a process whereby a controlling device in a process has a response characterized to the needs of maintaining a process condition within certain limits under a range of varying disturbances to the process. Established guidelines for automation...
Combining multiple measurement capabilities into a single instrument is generally advantageous over installing separate devices to cover an array of parameters. A simple reduction in fittings and connection complexity can bring enough benefit to justify a selection of...
The D81 Isolation Ring from Winters Instrument provides a solution for measuring system pressure in processes involving fluids with the potential to clog or damage sensors and impulse lines. The isolation ring has a hollow elastomer that is located between two...
An orifice plate, at its simplest, is a plate with a machined hole in it. Carefully control the size and shape of the hole, mount the plate in a fluid flow path, measure the difference in fluid pressure between the two sides of the plate, and you have a simple flow...
Bourdon tube pressure gauges can exhibit rapidly oscillating indicators when subjected to pulsations from the measured line. The fast-moving pointer on the dial face makes it impossible for an observer to obtain an accurate reading from the gauge. One solution has...
Process gauges can sometimes, by necessity, be located in areas with low lighting or other conditions that do not promote easy viewing and reading of their dial face. Winters Instruments, the manufacturer of a range of industrial instrumentation including dial face...
