Most pressure gauges around the world have either an NPT or G (metric) connection for insertion into processes. It is useful to know their differences – and also how to recognize which type is in use – without having to remove the entire assembly.

Thermocouples are among the most popular temperature measurement instruments in industrial applications because of their versatility and ease of use. However, measurement errors can occur. This article discusses the six most common causes of thermocouple errors.

Pressure measurement is all about PSI. That’s because pounds per square inch (PSI) is the most common unit for measuring pressure in the U.S. It’s important to understand what PSI means and how it is used, as pressure measurement is an important part of life in the 21st century.

Almost everyone uses the terms pressure sensor, pressure transducer, and pressure transmitter interchangeably, and that’s okay!

The magnetic level indicator working principle is used in level instrumentation. The interaction between the float magnets inside the chamber and magnetic flags outside the chamber provides continuous level information. This type of level indicator doesn’t require power, making it ideal for a variety of applications across industries.

Are your gauges installed properly? WIKA’s industry experts know that all too often this isn’t the case. Improperly installed gauges can lead to premature gauge failure and prevent you from troubleshooting issues with equipment or processes. Don’t let this happen at your plant. Use these six tips for proper gauge installation.

Pressure gauge failure can be attributed to one or more of these eight reasons: mechanical vibration, pulsation, extreme temperature, pressure spikes, overpressure, corrosion, clogging, and mishandling/abuse.

Many industries use RTDs for measuring temperature, and the sensor in the majority of those devices are either Pt100 or Pt1000. These two temperature sensors have similar characteristics, but their difference in nominal resistance may determine which one you choose for your application.

Differential pressure transmitters are designed to measure pressure before and after the fluid encounters an interruption, such as a filter or pump. However, this pressure instrument can also be used to measure liquid levels. 

In many industrial and pneumatic systems, pressure control is essential. But not all pressure regulators are created equal. Two of the most commonly used devices—pressure regulators and back pressure regulators—perform very different roles. Choosing the right one depends on where you need to control pressure in your system.

Macnaught hazard rated flow meter products offer global approval ratings, high accuracy and repeatability with no flow conditioning required. Designed for clean process fluids that require Explosion Proof, Intrinsically Safe or Simple Safe measurement needs.

Expandable Ethernet I/O modules now support three field-selectable protocols for networks using Profinet, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP/IP.

Preventative maintenance and condition monitoring are not only independent concepts, but they are also ones that should not be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Learn more in the blog below.

Emerson has developed a groundbreaking solution for addressing challenges in upstream oil and gas applications related to pneumatic valve emissions.

Is unchecked vibration affecting your bottom line? Vibration can bring any high-speed, high-precision process to an unexpected and costly standstill.

Rotork Fairchild's High Pressure - Pressure Reducing Regulator is suitable for 690 bar (10000 psig) inlet and outlet hydraulic and pneumatic applications.

When discussing fluid power, pressure is the basis for producing any kind of work.  Work cannot be achieved without pressure. To understand the finer points of fluid power, one must first understand the concept of pressure

One resource that you may have overlooked is OSHA's collection of standard interpretation letters, which are OSHA's official responses to written questions about compliance with the agency's requirements.
