Hazardous Area Classification When three fundamental components: Flammable Substance (Which can be gas, liquid, or solid), an oxidizer, and a source of ignition, form the hazardous area. The flammable substance can be anything from gasses and liquids such as hydrogen, gasoline, and kerosene to solid particulates such as dust or small fibers. The oxidizer is […]
Level is one of the most commonly measured process parameters in a wide range of applications and industries. Available level transmitters range from mechanical floats and contact probes to radar and ultrasonic sensors. Whatever the type, these transmitters are almost commonly difficult and dangerous to access. Even if a display is included, the small built‐in
5 Reasons why Remote Level Display still required. Read More »
A capacitor is a two-terminal device that consists of two conducting bodies separated by a non-conducting (dielectric) material. Below is a simple capacitor consisting of two plates. To create a more usable geometry for sensors, the electrodes can be arranged in various ways. Though this complicates the above expression for capacitance, the overall relationship between
Due to the obsolescence of several components used in the production of Contrec 505 Series Instrumentation, Contrec Manufacturing has made the decision to promptly transition the 505 Applications to the advanced 515 platforms, effective from May 2019. The main benefits are for 515 platforms are: Same instrument housing, display and operator interface Selectable analog or
In the realm of Low-E glass manufacturing, vacuum magnetron sputtering stands out as a premier coating technique employed globally. Central to this process is the meticulous control of gas flow within a vacuum environment, achieved through the precise calibration of a high-performance mass flow controller (MFC). This critical control ensures the maintenance of a stable
