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. … Read more
In industrial automation, sensors play a crucial role. They ensure accuracy, efficiency, and reliability in a wide range of applications. When it comes to sensors, analog and digital sensors are two common types. Each has its own advantages and limitations. They are widely used in various industries and applications. Understanding the differences between these two … Read more
When configuring temperature sensors, you’ll encounter the option of whether to configure a thermocouple sheath, and the requirements for its size and material. Sometimes, a thermocouple sheath is also called a thermowell or temperature sensor protective tube. So what exactly is a thermocouple sheath, and how do we choose one? Based on Sino-Inst’s experience, we’ve … Read more
A type K thermocouple is a widely used thermocouple in temperature measurement. Type K thermocouples are typically composed of two different metal alloys: a chromium-nickel alloy and an aluminum-nickel alloy. Type K thermocouples are inexpensive, highly accurate, reliable, and have a wide temperature range. Their maximum continuous operating temperature is approximately 1100°C. They provide accurate … Read more
When it comes to flow measurement, understanding the distinction between mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate is crucial. Both concepts are widely used in various industries, but they differ in several aspects. We’ll explore the key differences between mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate, examine the factors that affect flow rate conversions, and … Read more
Diaphragm seal is used to prevent media from directly entering the sensor assembly in the pressure transmitter/differential pressure transmitter. Remote split pressure measurement can be achieved by connecting the fluid-filled capillary tube to the transmitter. Diaphragm seals effectively broaden the application range of pressure transmitters. It makes the measurement of pressure transmitter and differential pressure … Read more
What Is the Flow Rate? Is the flow rate the same as Flow? When we choose a flowmeter, we often know the fluid parameters of the pipeline. Including flow range, pressure, pipe diameter, etc. Flow rates and flow ranges are different. Flow is divided into volume flow and mass flow. So what is the relationship … Read more
Stilling Wells are ingeniously designed to suppress liquid surface fluctuations and turbulence, ensuring high-precision level measurements. Surface disturbances are a problem in level measurement, whether using contact or non-contact methods. By isolating a calmer liquid column, Stilling Wells provide the sensor with a clear and stable target, eliminating misreads. Sino-Inst has assisted customers in applying … Read more
Pressure sensors are widely used in various fields such as ship systems, desalination plants, subsea equipment, and environmental monitoring. These fields are distributed in marine, offshore, and coastal areas. However, seawater is one of the most corrosive natural media because it contains a high concentration of sodium chloride, and chloride ions are highly corrosive. Therefore, … Read more
Industrial smart pressure transmitters are microprocessor-based high-performance transmitters. With flexible pressure calibration function. Instrument equipment commonly used in industrial process control can convert fluid or gas pressure into standard analog signals (such as 4-20mA) or digital signals (HART, RS485) and output them to the control system. What is a smart pressure transmitter? Smart pressure transmitter … Read more
