Radiometric Solutions - Gamma Density Measurement & Calibration

White Paper - Endress+Hauser

The high solids content of slurry makes it very abrasive and additionally the chemicals used to separate the ores also make the slurry very aggressive against the process equipment. Radiometric measurement is applied when other technologies fail, for example when invasive measurement techniques may not be considered due to abrasive process media. So far other known technologies still do not work under these conditions, whereas the radiometric density measurement provides a reliable and stable density signal.

Considerations For Using Large Diameter Coriolis Mass Flow Meters In Oil & Gas Applications

White Paper - Krohne

During the last decade manufacturers have been launching larger Coriolis mass flowmeters to satisfy the requirement for mass flow measurement in larger line sizes for bulk fluid transfer applications in oil and gas, chemical or petrochemical industry segments. The high performance mass flow and density accuracy specifications of the Coriolis flowmeters have made this technology become more and more popular. Until now, there were very few manufacturers producing larger line size Coriolis flowmeters in the market.

Why Surge Protection is Necessary

White Paper - Phoenix Contact

Our dependence on electricity and the prevalence of more and more sensitive electronics make a reliable source of high quality power essential to modern life. Yet, disruptions can and do occur. In fact, one estimate by utility industry experts suggests that power-related problems cost Canadian companies more than $80 billion a year. When evaluated from a system level, effects on business include: high maintenance costs, high production costs, production delays, lost sales, late deliveries, an idle workforce, and increased spoilage and scrap. Surge protective devices (SPDs) protect sensitive electrical equipment from harmful surges.

Degassing Heads and 5 Function Degas Valves

White Paper - John Brooks Company

Dosing of gassing chemicals can be a source of frustration. Two of the most common chemicals that are known for off-gassing are Sodium Hypochlorite (chlorine) and Hydrogen Peroxide. As gasses escape the fluid, they create pockets of gas that can cause a pump to lose prime. A degassing head or valve provides a way for gasses that have escaped to be purged automatically, eliminating the need to manually re-prime the pump. Pulsafeeder offers two solutions to the challenge of dosing outgassing chemicals in diaphragm pumps. The degas pump head and the 5 function degas valve.
