SCFM (Standard CFM) and ACFM (Actual CFM) are commonly used units for measuring gas flow rate. For example, in the air compressor industry, they are used to measure airflow and air consumption. So what are the differences between them? How should they be converted? Both SCFM and ACFM are based on CFM. CFM is a … Read more
Thermal Mass Flow Meters and thermal mass flow controllers are suitable for most gaseous media. If a gas mass flow controller or thermal mass flow meter is factory-calibrated for one gas, but you want to switch to another, then a gas correction factor (GCF) is needed. What is Thermal Mass Flow Meter Correction Factor? The … Read more
Analog gas flow meters specifically refer to a type of flow meter that outputs analog signals. The main function of a flow meter is to measure volumetric flow rate or mass flow rate and convert it into an electrical signal output, facilitating flow monitoring and control. There are four types of flow meter signal outputs: … Read more
The Magnetic Float Level Gauge continuously measures the liquid level in a tank based on the principles of buoyancy and magnetic coupling. It indicates changes in liquid level by utilizing the influence of a magnet on nearby magnets; this mechanical structure is simple yet highly effective. Its simple structure provides fast and stable liquid level … Read more
Strain gauge pressure transmitters have good shock resistance and can withstand 100G vibration, making them more suitable for measuring large pressure ranges. They are used in pressure measurement and control in industrial equipment, water pressure testing, building water supply, and hydraulic power stations. What is Strain Gauge Pressure Transmitter? Strain gauge pressure transmitters are a … Read more
Powder/Dry Material Level Switches are devices used to detect when material reaches a preset level. When the material reaches or exceeds the set position, the level switch sends a signal, typically used to control the starting or stopping of equipment. They are widely used in silos, hoppers, storage tanks, and other locations for simple on/off … Read more
A rotameter, also known as a variable area flow meter, is widely used to measure the flow rate of various gases, especially in situations where no power supply is available. Whether measuring air, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO2), or other gases, rotameters provide reliable and accurate results. Of course, rotameters can also be configured as … Read more
There are more than a dozen categories and hundreds of models of flow meters on the market, all claiming to have unique measurement advantages. So how do you choose the flow meter that meets your needs? Simply put, start with your actual measurement conditions. Select the most suitable flow meter based on your specific application … Read more
Pressure transmitters are often installed in conjunction with manifolds, primarily for isolation, calibration, and venting. Manifolds control the input of the medium, ensuring measurement accuracy and safety. Manifolds are typically configured with a specified number of valves based on the required operating conditions. Common configurations include single-valve (2-valve), two-valve, three-valve, and five-valve manifolds. This is … Read more
Water pressure measurement includes pressure detection of water pipes, water containers or equipment. Water pressure measurements can be used to determine whether a pipe, container or equipment is leaking and whether it can withstand the pressure required for the design. By configuring a water pressure transmitter, connecting the water pressure signal to a recorder, PLC … Read more
