Ashcroft announces NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification for select models of their pressure gauges, switches, transducers and diaphragm seals/isolation rings.

There is a considerable amount of thought that goes into specifying a regulator, and it has everything to do with application. Read the blog below to learn the key factors that you need to consider before buying.

It's crucial to capture as much rainwater as possible for future use in groundwater basins. However, during storm events, the existing wastewater system can become overwhelmed. The influx of freshwater from a storm event can disrupt the wastewater treatment process, leading to an imbalance in the system.

Across the U.S., booster stations and pumping stations are feeling the strain of both age and increased demand. As pumping stations edge near full capacity, financial or real estate constraints can make it difficult to expand or retrofit them.

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

Macnaught manufactures highly accurate, robust industrial-grade flow meters for clean process fluid applications.

WIKA's family of robust products with IO-Link pressure, temperature, and flow sensors enable the remote monitoring and process control of intelligent machines in smart factories.

Despite the barriers that stand between the United States and a mature hydrogen economy, the path is slowly becoming clearer. This 17-question test will reveal where your company is on this journey.

Permeation and embrittlement are issues that stand in the way of realizing a viable and mature hydrogen infrastructure. For pressure and temperature sensors, using materials that protect against these conditions is key to safety and profitability in the chemical industry.

Hydrogen is key to decarbonization - in the chemical industry as well as for developed nations. However, while it is relatively easy and cheap to produce, pure H2 is notoriously difficult to transport and store. Most methods require high operational and/or energy costs.

Leaks are a pernicious issue in natural gas pipelines. As hydrogen can escape even more easily than methane through the tiniest holes, cracks, and weld seams, the transport and eventual storage of this gas is one of the major barriers to wider adoption of this gas as a fuel and feedstock. Hydrogen permeation and embrittlement only exacerbate the problem.

Selecting the proper positioner is critical. The wrong decision can lead to unnecessary costs on one end of the spectrum and the need for a replacement on the other.

In the world of natural gas liquification, turbine trip valves play a major role. There may be no piece of equipment that is more important to the safety of the plant and its personnel than a turbine trip valve.

Industrial furnaces come in many shapes and sizes and are used across a wide variety of applications. As one would expect, monitoring the temperature of an industrial furnace is critical and is accomplished by measuring the temperature of the tubes inside the furnace.

So, you know you need some form of control in your process, but where do you go from there?  There are so many different options available depending on the process conditions and the level of control you're looking for. And with budget restrictions becoming ever more stringent, making the best decision the first time is crucial.

Worldwide, chemical companies are recognizing the potential of hydrogen as a feedstock and fuel source and the most viable way for the industry to become carbon neutral. Obstacles to realizing this future are gas leakage and storage/transport, two issues that reliable measuring instruments can help overcome.

With all the parts manufactured, assembled, and tested in the USA, WIKA is pleased to be able to offer quick delivery on our most popular industrial process diaphragm gauge: the AWS.

The flexible membrane in a diaphragm pressure gauge, a specialized industrial gauge, gives it several advantages over standard Bourdon tube gauges and capsule pressure gauges.

Amine units are critical to the operations of refineries and chemical plants. If a unit fails due to corrosion, condensation and foaming, the entire productivity and safety of the facility is imperiled. Temperature measurement solutions allow operators to precisely control amine systems in order to prevent critical failures and maximize efficiency.

Precisions Sensors (a division of United Electric Controls) now offers pressure, flow, level, and temperature products with a SIL 3 rating. The SIL-3 capability will improve your company's ability to achieve product certification resulting in improved time-to-market.

Precision Sensors high purity pressure switches offer accurate, repeatable switching for monitor/control and alarm/shut down protection.

Self-monitoring digital instruments are essential to the safe operation of Industry 4.0 manufacturing. The next generation of WIKA's diaphragm seal system offers foolproof monitoring with HART® communication protocol, ideal for sanitary processes in the pharmaceutical industry.
