10 Steps to Size a Turbine Flow Meter

Need to size a turbine flow meter? Are you still only choosing based on pipe diameter? Please stop immediately. Turbine flow meters account for a significant portion of industrial flow measurement processes due to their low cost and wide range of media compatibility. However, sizing a turbine flow meter is not as simple as just matching the pipe diameter. It also requires considering 10 factors related to actual operating conditions, such as media characteristics, temperature, pressure, and signal output. We hope that by sharing our experience, we can help you choose the most suitable turbine ......

High Temperature Pressure Transducers & Cooling Elements

Pressure measurement is often a highly challenging task in many industrial environments. Extremely high-temperature media are commonplace in fields such as aerospace, energy, and chemicals. High-temperature measurements are particularly difficult for electronic components. Because they are typically poorly heat-resistant, high temperature pressure transducers are crucial. If you need to measure differential pressure rather than gauge pressure on hot media, see our guide on the high temperature differential pressure transducer. It covers remote seals, capillary cooling, and steam, hot oil and f......

What Is a Pressure Switch? Read Before Buy and Use

What Is a Pressure Switch? A pressure switch is a specialized instrument for pressure measurement and control. Pressure switches can be electronic or mechanical. Based on a preset pressure value, they can open or close the corresponding switch contacts when the pressure is reached. Pressure switches, like pressure transmitters, are essential instruments in industrial processes. However, the two should not be confused. Therefore, you may want to read this article before purchasing or using a pressure switch. RFQ Table of ContentsStep 1: Fluid PropertiesStep 2: Pipe PressureStep 3: Fluid Tempera......
