The industrial production uses lots of complicated measurement instrumentation to monitor and control the manufacture and quality of many materials. But what if we told you that some of the most advanced tools rely solely on the basic principles of physics? A Coriolis mass flow meter is...
Water covers about 70% of the Earth's surface. But only 2.5% of all the water in the world is fresh. That makes water the most abundant, yet precious resource we have. Understanding how to track and treat freshwater is critical to human health. Turbidity is...
Does your business use a level sensor? If you do, what are you using that level measurement for? Inventory tracking, spillage prevention, batch filling, pump or valve control? Whatever the task, level sensors have been around for a long time and are widely used in...
As an engineer or a project manager, you know that a huge portion of your project's success depends on the tools you're using to get it done. However, have you realized that the tools that you're currently working with just don't provide you with the...
Control of foaming in industrial processes presents many challenges in almost every market sector: pharma, brewing, paint manufacture, waste water treatment, oil & gas, food processing and more. To complicate matters, foam can be an integral [and important] part of a process and needs to...
Chances are you've heard the expression, "It ran like a well-oiled machine." There's a reason why this figure of speech is so often used. Simply put, proper oil flow is essential to making heavy machinery and equipment run the way it is supposed to. This is...
NIR probes are used in a wide range of applications from small-scale laboratory research to mass scale pharma, chemical, food, and beverage production processes to measure turbidity and solids concentration in flowing streams. And, although anyone outside of those industries might shudder when they hear the word...
If you want to do a good job, you need the right equipment. Sounds like common sense but even with the right equipment, you won't be effective if you don't know how to get the best out of it. Whether your work in a hospital, in...
Coriolis meters are becoming more and more common in many process control schemes, often because of their inherent accuracy and their low maintenance requirements. However, responsible plant maintenance managers know that despite the trouble free performance they get from their meters, it is important to...
Refex electrodes represent a revolutionary technology advance in pH and ORP measurement. They solve the key weakness of the reference electrode in traditional combination probe designs. Here’s how they work, and why you should use them. What do Refex electrodes do? First off, what exactly do Refex...
