What Is a Pressure Snubber? A pressure snubber, also known as a pressure buffer, is a device designed to prevent intense fluid pulses and protect pressure instruments from damage. It is suitable for pressure systems where the medium being measured experiences pressure spikes, intense pulses, and rapid fluctuations. It is often used in conjunction with … Read more
The TS360 Sanitary Flow Switch is a measuring instrument that provides real-time monitoring of fluid flow in pipelines, along with signal output and control capabilities. The product is constructed from sanitary-grade stainless steel and features a fully enclosed, laser-welded design. Its carefully engineered sanitary probe and collet connection allow for quick and easy disassembly, minimizing … Read more
Flush Diaphragm Pressure Transducers are specifically designed for measuring the pressure of viscous, low-flow, or hygienically sensitive media. They utilize diaphragm isolation technology and a no-bore design to prevent media blockages and leakage of the measured medium. Sino-Inst offers pressure transducers with flush diaphragms, flush-mounted diaphragms, and sanitary clamp-on flush diaphragms, among others. We also … Read more
Digital Pressure Gauges with Output support real-time local pressure indication and offer optional 4-20 mA or RS485 outputs. These digital pressure gauges provide electronic readings for gauge, absolute, vacuum and compound (vacuum-pressure) ranges, from -100 kPa (about -29.5 inHg) up to 160 MPa. Sino-Inst’s digital pressure gauges are equipped with a 5-digit LCD display and … Read more
PT100 temperature sensors are commonly used platinum resistance sensors in industrial applications within the range of -200°C to 850°C. They measure temperature from the change in platinum resistance, which rises with temperature along the curve defined in IEC 60751. Here, “PT” stands for platinum, and “100” indicates a standard resistance value of 100 Ω at … Read more
How to Measure Viscosity? Simply put, it involves controlling the temperature, allowing the liquid to flow or undergo shearing, recording the time, torque, or vibration damping, and then converting these values into viscosity units such as mPa·s or cSt. There are many methods for measuring viscosity. For example, the capillary method can be used for … Read more
IBC totes are intermediate bulk containers for the storage and transportation of liquids, typically with capacities of 1,000–1,250 L (275–330 US gal). They are widely used in the chemical, coatings, food, and pharmaceutical industries. IBC totes are primarily classified by material into three categories: high-density polyethylene (HDPE), carbon steel, and stainless steel. Since the liquid … Read more
There are three options for resistance temperature detector (RTD) wiring: 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire. The key difference lies in whether the measurement error caused by lead resistance can be eliminated. Simply put: 2-wire systems have large errors and are largely obsolete; 3-wire systems are commonly used in industry; and 4-wire systems offer laboratory-grade precision. Why … Read more
In production and storage tanks holding SLES paste, high material viscosity coupled with strong adhesive properties often results in heavy material build-up on tank inner walls. When contact-type level instruments are deployed, their probes commonly get coated with paste deposits. This causes inaccurate level readings and forces frequent offline shutdowns for instrument cleaning and maintenance … Read more
A GPM flow meter refers to a type of flow meter that displays flow rate in “gallons per minute” (GPM). 1 GPM = 3.785 liters per minute. It is not specified which measurement principle is used. Sino-Inst’s electromagnetic flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters, GF gear flow meters, mass flow meters, turbine flow meters, and smart … Read more
