Orifice Plate – Primary Flow Element
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...
Thermocompressor Breathes New Life into Low Pressure Waste Steam
Energy conservation and energy efficiency have contributed very large cost savings to many industrial and commercial operations over the past two decades. Projects with modest payback periods quickly begin their contributions directly to the bottom line of the balance...
Valve Positioners
Valve positioners can provide process operators with a precise degree of valve position control across the valve movement range, as well as information about valve position. A relationship exists between applied pneumatic signal pressure and the position of the valve...
Pressure Motive Condensate Pumps
In a closed steam system, condensate must be returned to the feedwater side of the boiler. Moving this condensate effectively through the system is essential to maintaining design performance levels throughout the system. Condensate can be considered "spent steam",...
Added Safety For Pneumatic Actuators
Manufacturers of industrial process control gear keep the safety of their customers as a high-priority item when designing products. There is much at stake in industrial operations, so every instance where the probability or impact of failure can be reduced is...
Sterling Condensate Return and Steam Control Equipment
Sterling, under the Sterlco brand, manufactures a range of Steam control products for commercial and industrial use. Steam traps, condensate return pumps, boiler feed pumps, and self regulating temperature control valves are all part of the product offering. The video...
Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers
Cars are something that exists as part of the backbone of modern society, for both personal and professional use. Automobiles, while being everyday objects, also contain systems that need to be constantly maintained and in sequence to ensure the safety of both the...
Metal Diaphragm Valves – Best Applications
There are more valve selection options available than one can count. Differing types, sizes, materials, and other special characteristics distinguish each and every product as unique in its own way. Matching the design and performance strengths of a particular valve...
Self Contained Temperature Regulators
Not everything in process control is complicated. Some requirements can be fulfilled by the proper application of the right product. Temperature control, the regulation of heat content, transfer of heat, or whatever else it may be called, is a ubiquitous operation in...
Introduction to Valve Parts or Components
Although there are many different classifications of valves specific to their respective functions, there are standard parts or components of valves you may find regardless of the classification. They are the valve body, bonnet, trim, seat, stem, actuator, and...
