Flow measurement, along with measuring temperature and pressure, are critical for optimal operation in gas and steam turbines. If these parameters do not stay within appropriate ranges, a power plant will suffer from issues with safety, performance, and efficiency. Learn more.

PGI answered customer requests for a lower stem handle turning torque by introducing their new Low-Torque™ Grafoil® bonnet and packing design. Grafoil® Stem Seal Torque Reduced 50%.

It can be challenging for OEMs, system integrators, and distributors to find invisible noise. Unwanted EMI and RFI noise can degrade the performance of communication systems and cause false triggering and faulty readings in sensor circuits.

EMI and RFI are types of electric or electronic emission that can degrade, impair, or prevent electrical circuit performance. To protect and optimize equipment performance, Enerdoor offers one of the largest ranges of solutions to reduce electromagnetic/radio-frequency interference.

Securing leak-free connection of impulse lines to manifolds for applications that use differential pressure flowmeters is a subject that has taxed instrumentation engineers for more than a century. Learn more.

The Neles® globe valves are designed to provide the best control accuracy and wide rangeability with economical high performance. Standard units are equipped with linear actuators and ND valve controllers for precise flow control, extended operation life, and performance monitoring online.

Watlow®, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of complete thermal systems recently launched ASPYRE®, a new power controller family. Available in sizes ranging from 35 to 700 amps, the ASPYRE family is flexible, scalable, and offered with a variety of options. Learn more.

Watlow's OPTIMAX® is smaller and lighter than traditional heat exchangers and can help reduce the overall footprint by almost 50 percent. Although the size and weight are less, users will realize improved heat transfer efficiency and world-class pressure drop performance.

Watlow's F4T features a 4.3-inch, capacitive color touch panel with high resolution and a graphical user interface that provides customized control for even the most demanding applications. It provides intuitive navigation and screen personalization with user-defined specifications. Learn more.

For new liquid filtration applications or if you are considering upgrading your system consider the benefits of Cardinal's High Flow Cartridges over traditional 2.5" pleated or depth filters.

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

ZWICK's check valve TRI-CHECK combines all the benefits of their TRI-CON Series in a non-return valve. Triple-offset design with a wide seat angle and a true cone in cone, no rubbing while moving, and absolute zero leakage performance.

TRI-CON valves incorporate a unique third offset with a 25-degree incline, eliminating the friction between the laminated seal ring and the body seat. The resulting camming action allows the stainless and graphite laminated seal ring to seat into an inclined 25-degree body seat. Learn more.

The Des-Case Mobile Utility Cart is a heavy-duty, 3-in-1 mobile system for lubricant storage, handling, and system top-offs.

Slipping, chemical exposure, machinery interaction, fire, and tripping are just some of the more common safety hazards you can avoid through better lubrication practices. In this post, we will break down how optimizing your lubrication program decreases each one of these risks.

Machinery safeguarding represents one of the best investments on the plant floor. For example, in a study conducted by the Liberty Mutual Group for the US, 61 percent of executives say they save $3 for every dollar invested in safety equipment and programs.

The NIST Chemistry WebBook contains a great deal of information regarding the properties of a broad range of chemicals and is helpful for those who deal with chemical processes. In this article, Jon Monsen has outlined the procedure for finding the actual density of a gas using the WebBook.
