Inventory Management Using Multiple Point Measurement

White Paper - BinMaster

Many devices are available on the market today for detecting the level of materials in bins, tanks and silos. However, for calculating what’s in inventory sometimes level data just isn’t enough. To estimate the amount of material on hand and the dollar value of that inventory, a single measurement point might not be enough data to calculate an accurate volume estimate. Due to their tendency to form irregular topography in the silo, this can be especially true in powders and solids because many don’t tend to flow freely. If inventory volume is based upon a single measurement from a single point in the silo, the volume estimate has the potential of being very inaccurate. For accurate "binventory" multiple point measurement may be the best solution. Discover whether level or volume are what your operation needs and about the sensors that can help you meet your operational goals.

Gamma Density Measurement & Calibration

White Paper - Endress+Hauser

As mines are often located in areas with limited water resources, it is crucial to monitor the quality of the slurry with a density measurement to efficiently apply the available water in the production process. The high solids content of the 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.

Buying The Right Temperature Calibration Bath

White Paper - Alpha Controls & Instrumentation

Most bath manufacturers tell you as little as possible about their baths' performance. Some won't publish stability specs, and some are so elusive about the meaning of their specs that you can only conclude they've got something to hide. In this whitepaper, you will gain valuable insights on how to buy the right temperature calibration bath.
