Embedded diagnostics in smart instrumentation has played a role in safer, more efficient and reliable plants for decades in the process industries. As the power of the microcontrollers at the heart of these intelligent devices grows, so do the reliability, accuracy...
A U.S. Department of Energy study on pump life cycle costs notes that maintenance and energy costs make up the vast majority of lifecycle costs. Pumps that are critical to the operation of the process typically are installed with online condition-based monitoring...
Control systems rely on the signals coming back from measurement devices to perform control operations and provide feedback to operators. Unfortunately the signal from these devices can be impacted by several conditions. These conditions include damage and corrosion,...
Emerson's Svein Erik Gregersen and John Goetz discussed oil & gas multiphase metering. Their abstract: For over 20 years, Roxar has delivered innovative multiphase (oil, gas, and water) flow measurement solutions to offshore & subsea oil and gas customers....
Emerson's Mark Menezes perfectly timed presentation for northern hemisphere process manufacturers and producers shares his experiences for improving measurements in cold weather. His abstract: Installations of instrumentation in cold climates (where temperature can...
One of the benefits of advancing technologies can be increased reliability. For measurement devices in the processing industries, these technology improvements can mean increased operations and maintenance productivity through extended calibration intervals, improved...
The venerable Rosemount 1151 pressure transmitter was introduced all the way back in 1969. It combined 4–20 mA electronics with capacitance technology. In my first job post college, I worked as a project engineer out of New Orleans on offshore oil & gas platforms...
Online purchasing and support for Rosemount measurement products has been available here in the U.S. A colleague shared some news with me that this store has now expanded to process manufacturers and producers in Australia. Emerson Process Management Australia Online...
Emerson's Burcu Karakulak discuss ways to optimize calibration frequency for pressure transmitters. Their abstract: Save time & resources from performing routine calibration on your pressure transmitters by calculating the expected calibration frequency. You might...
Adding static or differential pressure measurements to a process can be a difficult undertaking with pipe penetrations, instrumentation wiring, and coordination with ongoing operations. In this quick, 1:45 YouTube video, Emerson's Brian Fretschel describes the...
Rosemount pressure measurement instrumentation has been part of nuclear power plants' process automation for more than four decades. The news item from last week, Emerson offers improved safety and performance solutions with new series of nuclear pressure...
The Emerson Exchange originally began more than two decades ago as a user conference, led by the user community, for the PROVOX system. It expanded to become the Fisher-Rosemount Systems User Group, and ultimately the Emerson Global Users Exchange—Emerson Exchange for...
