When purchasing an online viscometer, do you often encounter this situation: you specify the viscosity in cSt at 50°C, but the manufacturer provides the value in cP, leaving you confused? Dynamic viscosity (μ) is a fluid’s internal resistance to shear, measured in centipoise (cP = mPa·s). Kinematic viscosity (ν) is that value divided by density, … Read more
Accurate monitoring of unloading volume is crucial for tanker truck deliveries to gas stations, as well as trade transfers and distribution. Data from before, during, and after delivery should be precisely correlated, at least within permissible margins. So, how do you calculate the delivery volume of tanker trucks to gas stations? Where do gaps typically … Read more
China is the largest OEM and mass production base for industrial pressure sensors. Custom production is available for everything from standard 4-20 mA pressure transmitters to extreme operating conditions such as 1000 MPa ultra-high pressure, −252 °C cryogenic, and ATEX explosion-proof models. Standard pressure sensors can be shipped within 3-5 days. We also build digital-output … Read more
In specialized applications such as power generation, high-temperature reactors, and metallurgical smelting, process pressure measurement often faces extreme conditions of “high temperature” + “differential pressure,” with the temperature of the measured medium reaching 300℃~600℃. Differential pressure measurement of high-temperature media can be used in important processes such as flow calculation, liquid level monitoring, and differential … Read more
An inline pressure transducer is a compact pressure transmitter that screws directly onto the pipeline via a single threaded interface. The sensitive diaphragm is in close contact with the medium, without manifolds or remote transmission diaphragms. This form factor is most commonly found in hydraulic systems, compressed air mains, cooling water circuits, HPLC process lines, … Read more
Pressure transmitter for level measurement is a relatively inexpensive and stable solution. Proper selection and configuration of pressure transmitters can effectively save on measurement costs. On CAN-based machinery, a CAN bus pressure transmitter reports level-related pressure straight onto the network. Pressure transmitters for level measurement can be broadly categorized into two types: one for measuring … Read more
After a period of use, electromagnetic flow meters may experience a decrease in accuracy. Magnetic flow meter calibration eliminates systematic errors inherent in the instrument, ensuring the reliability of its measurement results. This meets the needs of process control, cost accounting, and trade settlement. Electromagnetic flow meters are suitable for measuring the flow rate of … Read more
Nitrogen Flow Controllers are devices specifically designed for measuring and controlling nitrogen flow. They not only measure the volumetric or mass flow rate of nitrogen, but crucially, they also control the flow rate. Generally, they are based on a nitrogen flow meter, with the addition of an automatic control valve and a closed-loop control system. … Read more
Measuring flow in large pipes with insertion type flow meters. If you need to measure the fluid flow of a larger pipe diameter, you are most likely to choose an insertion type flow meter. But what insertion type flow meter should you use? The market has insertion electromagnetic flowmeter, insertion vortex flowmeter, insertion ultrasonic flowmeter, … Read more
By Li Rui, Senior Process Engineer at Sino-Inst | Published 2026-03-24. If you’ve ever had an ultrasonic level sensor fail prematurely, there’s a good chance the probe material was wrong for the job. I’ve seen this happen more times than I’d like to admit — a perfectly good sensor, installed in a sulfuric acid tank, … Read more
