We're always seeing questions about circulation heaters. Specifically, given the abundance of different models and types, customers want to know which works best for their application.

Naftosense develops and manufactures addressable hydrocarbon leak detection systems that detect hydrocarbons such as refined gasoline, light and heavy crude oils, lubricants, dielectric oils, solvents, and petrochemical compounds. This blog discusses technologies and products that support industrial leak detection.

As alternative energy becomes more widespread, peaker plants continue to grow in popularity.  Many plants in operation can count on solar energy during the day while relying on peaker energy during the evening. 

There seems to be this constant game of tug-of-war between Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT) personnel in industrial settings. In general, there are three misconceptions that OT personnel have about the IT department.

The new generation of Neles Neldisc™ metal-seated and Jamesbury Wafer-Sphere™ soft-seated butterfly valves is built to deliver sustainable performance today and tomorrow.

An industry-leading PID controller that allows optimal performance utilizing simple control and menu functionality without complex features. Watlow PM LEGACY™ Controller is ideally suited for basic applications and usage levels.

TTK will reduce down-time, maintain plant safety, and prevent environmental hazards with an effective and accurate oil leak detection system. Automate leak detection and integrate it into a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), mitigating human error and increasing response time to critical leaks.

Economy Solutions from Mitsubishi Electric provides a low-cost, reliable, powerful, and easy-to-configure bundle of components allowing OEMs and system integrators to integrate high-precision motion control quickly, effortlessly, and affordably into their applications.

Emerson released its TopWorx™ Magnetic Target Switch™ (MTS) to provide ready-to-install, universally certified position sensing for explosion-proof and intrinsically safe applications.

WAGO's new 8-Port ECO Unmanaged Switch (852-112/000-001) provides users with a cost-effective and flexible networking option.

Equipped with eight independent detection zones, TTK's FG-ALS8-OD is designed for medium to large-sized applications requiring accurate hydrocarbons leak location.

TTK Liquid Leak Detection Systems recently announced that TTK's digital liquid leak detection monitoring panel FG-NET is now the first compliant digital leak detection system with the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address.

Tired of Replacing Fuel Leak Detection Cables? The operation of replacement is often complicated and time-consuming. Reduce your costs with reusable fuel sensing cables!

Don't let maintenance overwhelm your water leak detection system! Use patented dust-resistant water leak sensing cables from TTK Liquid Leak Detection.

In WIKA's new FlexWindow™ liquid-filled gauge, an optically clear liquid silicone rubber (LSR) replaces glass or polycarbonate for greater safety and durability, unimpaired reading, and no need for pressure venting.

PLCs have been doing a lot of this work for decades.  However, there are some newer functionalities in our PLCs that make this marketing concept easier to implement.  Learn more about "3 Methods for Sharing Data from an IIoT PLC" to understand these functionalities.

Kyntronics SMART Hydraulic Actuators combine the best features of hydraulic power with the precision of servo control (used in ball screw & roller screw electro-mechanical actuators), without the inherent disadvantages of those approaches.

Industrial settings with strenuous applications, such as thermal cycling and vibration, are recognized as some of the toughest environments for tube fittings. In all cases, such applications demand highly precise, leak-free technology to ensure protection from vibration and thermal cycling.

Total Cost of Ownership means looking beyond the material cost of the product and understanding the larger, surrounding value chain.  Learn how Watlow's PM controllers minimize downtime and the total cost of ownership.

Parker Industrial Gas Filtration and Generation Division recently announced that the launch of their new cycling refrigerant dryer series, PoleStar Smart-E (PSE) Series, will be coming in April 2021.

Studies show that approximately half of lost machine life is due to mechanical wear and approximately 80% of mechanical wear is caused by particle contamination in the oil. When oil is kept clean, wear rates go down and component service life goes up.

TTK addressable sensing cables are fitted with patented micro-controllers that allow pinpointing of faults on multiple sensing cables simultaneously. The unique structure of these cables efficiently prevents false alarms from condensation, dust, and conductive elements.

Des-Case rolls out a new and improved, patent-pending breather construction. More desiccant and increased airflow without increasing the external dimensions of the breather.

In hydroelectric power generation, dirt and debris in the intake water can shorten the lifetime of turbine blades. Filters inside intake pipes trap the debris so that only sediment-free water hits the blades. A differential pressure sensor/transducer measures the flow. Learn more.
