Discover the intricacies of condition monitoring in our latest blog. Learn how to select the right sensors and equipment tailored to your process needs and budget.

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.

Investing in oil reclamation technology can help reduce the costs associated with oil usage. Learn more in the blog below.

Introducing Cobot Intelligence's new standalone cabinet door sanding solution.

Don't wait until it's too late, Kyntronics' actuators can help prevent disasters and improve your bottom line.

The key to making the proper decisions on condition monitoring is to understand what kind of information is required, how often that information is needed and what kind of budget is in play.

The concepts of preventive maintenance and condition monitoring are not always characterized in a way that is entirely accurate. They sometimes seem to be treated as a one-size-fits-all service that many operators believe they need. However, these concepts can mean very different things depending on the application.

Flowrox solutions, entail more than 40 years of experience in flow and process control and elastomer technology.

This animation includes both Flowrox pinch valves and knife gate valves.

The V-Cone is often implemented in upstream, midstream, and even downstream oil and gas processes to measure a variety of flow media in various states and temperatures. The V-Cone's options for customization are among the many factors that prompt customers to choose this meter for such diverse and varied applications.

Given the need for accuracy, consistency, and repeatability, brewers should always choose the highest quality meter they can afford. Flow metering is all about optimizing production to give the brewer consistent and reliable results by understanding the precise temperatures, pressures, and flow being used.

When space is tight and straight-run piping is at a premium, V-Cone® differential pressure meters are an excellent choice - especially where the potential for turbulence raises metering accuracy issues. This article describes how to satisfy some challenging water infrastructure applications with the V-Cone meter.

Recently an article was published that presented an easily constructed Excel sheet that estimates hydrodynamic noise in control valves1. A number of people have asked me if there is something similar for aerodynamic noise. 

Investing in oil reclamation technology can help reduce the costs associated with oil usage. Learn more in the article below.

A veteran of valve sizing with more than 40 years of experience provides his perspective on how to calculate the compressibility factor of a real gas for control valve sizing purposes.

Most control valve manufacturers include IEC 60534-8-4:2015 in their control valve sizing and selection software to predict control valve hydrodynamic noise. However, users who want to make quick noise predictions or who want to construct valve sizing applications, programming the above noise standard can be a daunting task. 

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.

If one wants to be able to do accurate hand calculations, or construct a simple program or Excel sheet, the method described here gives answers that agree exactly with iterative calculations using the equations in the current version of the ISA and IEC standards.

The availability of an easily constructed Excel worksheet that calculates and graphs control valve installed gain in conjunction with the users preferred control valve sizing application has prompted a new interest in the application of these calculations. Three examples are shown here.

This white paper discusses the rising stem valve and compares it to the rotary valve. The reader will learn what to consider to ensure the lowest overall life cycle cost and best possible degree of process control.

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.

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.
