Industrial Valves 101: Basic Functions and Types of Valves Small-bore fluid systems play an important role in keeping industrial companies operating productively around the world, and valves play an important role in the function of these systems. There are many types of valves that control f...

API 682 and You: Building Better Mechanical Seal Support Systems Sean Hunsicker, Market Manager, Chemical & Refining Market Mechanical seals became the dominant sealing technology in refineries and chemical plants in the 1980s, causing the American Petroleum Institute (API) to establish a committe...

Tube Fitting Installation: Everything You Need to Know Reliable industrial fluid systems are essential for safety, efficiency, and profitability in your plant—and their ability to operate dependably relies on many factors. Some of the most important include proper tube and tube fitting installation...

Grab sampling… …also known as spot sampling, laboratory sampling, field sampling, or sometimes just sampling—involves the collection of a sample fluid in apipeline, tank, or system. The sample is then analyzed to help operators validate process conditions, evaluate products for environmental emissi...

Sample Probe Modules & More Ways to Simplify Sampling with Standard Subsystems Standard pre-engineered subsystems can bring efficiency to an operation by simplifying the design of fluid sampling and control systems. Using standard systems has the added benefit of significantly reducing installation...

4 Areas to Inspect When Measuring Time Delay in Sampling Systems In a process analyzer sampling system, there is always a delay between the moment you grab the sample and the time you obtain a reading. Time delay is cumulative, accounting for the total amount of time it takes for a sample to trave...

3 Rules for Analyzer Accuracy Stacey Phillips, Field Engineering Manager (Americas) In most applications, operators trust analyzer results to indicate whether their product is meeting specifications. But when analyzer results are not accurately reflecting an end product’s characteristics, it’s lik...

Process Measurement – Impulse Line Best Practices When measuring pressure, flow or level within your process, safety and accuracy are always the focus. From the tap to the transmitter, process measurement accuracy depends on the proper function of each component within the process instrumentation m...

Tips to Maintaining a Representative Sample in an Analytical Instrumentation System The objective of an analytical instrumentation (AI) system is to provide a timely analytical result that is representative of the fluid in the process line at the time the sample was taken. If the sample is altered ...

Understanding and Measuring Time Delay in an Analytical Instrumentation System Time delay in sample systems is the most common cause of inappropriate results from process analyzers. Process measurements are instantaneous, but analyzer responses are not. There is always a time delay from the tap to ...
