Industrial process control operators and designers have the capability to measure many aspects of machine operation and process performance. Determining the elements to measure, the method of measurement, and how to handle and process the derived information can be...
Industrial accidents range in severity and impact from minuscule to catastrophic. As operators, owners, or technicians involved with industrial operations, we all have a degree of moral, ethical, and legal responsibility to conduct our work in a manner that does not...
The performance of every process is critical to something or someone. Keeping a process operating within specification requires measurement, and it requires some element of control. The devices we use to measure process variables, while necessary and critical in their...
This is a short video that explains what an explosion-proof enclosure looks like, how it works, and why it is safe to use in explosive or combustible atmospheres. The definition of “explosion-proof” doesn’t mean the enclosure can withstand the forces...
In nature, the laws of physics will continually drive energy in an attempt to reach equilibrium. In a thermal loop, as long as there is a temperature difference, heat moves away from the warmer entity to the cooler entity. Heat exchangers facilitate this phenomena...
Here are very handy conversion calculations for engineering and process control. You may want to bookmark this page for fast lookup. Area 1 acre = 43560 square feet = 4840 square yards = 4046.86 square meters Distance 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 1 foot = 12 inches 1...
