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

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

Accurate level monitoring in cement silos is directly related to production scheduling efficiency, inventory management accuracy, and equipment operational safety. This is particularly true in core stages of cement production, such as raw material storage and finished product warehousing. Cement is a dry, powdered material with a low dielectric constant (typically only 1.8–2.5) and high … Read more

LPM, GPM, and m³/h are all commonly used units of volumetric flow rate. They can be converted as follows: 1 L/min = 0.2642 US GPM, and 1 US GPM = 0.2271 m³/h. Different industrial product segments tend to prefer different units. For example, flow meters typically use LPM, while data sheets for U.S. pumps or … Read more

What Is a Differential Pressure Switch? A differential pressure switch is an instrument used to measure the pressure difference between two points. It is classified into mechanical types (such as bellows and diaphragms) and electronic types. When the pressure difference between the two sides reaches a preset value, the sensing element deforms or displaces, driving … Read more
