Join Emerson’s Andrew Cureton and Sean Collins-Dippel for an April 20 webinar at 2-3pm CDT. They will discuss ways to prevent unplanned downtime through predictive diagnostics, identify impeller cavitation for operations staff to address before the condition worsens, and recognize abnormal fluid levels in seal pots.
Accurate temperature measurement is essential for optimal control of processes in industries such as electrical power generation, oil and gas refining, and chemical manufacturing. Even a slight variation, over a long duration, can alter a process outcome. Thermowells...
Outdated technologies and practices can become obstacles to effective operation, but advanced pressure and temperature instrumentation provides solutions. Avoid process upsets and reduce safety risks by finding solutions to six common pressure and temperature measurement issues.
In a Process Heating magazine article titled Questions to Ask About Temperature Measurement Applications, Emerson’s Sarah Kendrick helps engineers work through the critical temperature application design process. Imagine this: One of your process engineers comes to...
. In a Food Engineering article, Making the argument for wireless temperature solutions, experts from several instrumentation and control suppliers offered their thoughts on where wireless temperature devices make sense. Emerson’s Kevin Stultz was one of these experts who shared his thoughts.
Tim worked with the Rosemount thermowell technologists on a Thermowell Design Accelerator tool to ensure engineers get a reliable, accurate and safe temperature measurement for its intended application.
Unlike pressure and flow measurement, temperature measurement can be much more complex given what is being measured. Fluids have thermal inertia characteristics which determine their temperature rate of change. In a Process Heating article, Instrumentation Solves...
A great source for fundamentals in process automation is the International Society of Automation (ISA)'s InTech Focus electronic periodical. This series of electronic magazines: …focuses on the fundamentals of essential automation components, such as instrumentation,...
When it comes to measuring temperature, there are a multitude of ways to do this. Do-it-yourselfers might use simple RTD or thermocouple sensors right into a microcontroller and display to provide basic temperature readings for their grills and BBQ pits. Or they could...
Emerson's Jeff Williams presented, Holistic Approach to Steam Temperature Control, at the 2018 Ovation Users' Group Conference. Jeff opened describing the trend of plants being started and operated more frequently than in the past due to intermittent sources of...
As the contribution of renewable energy sources grow on electrical power grids, so does the cycling its intermittency creates for power producers. This cycling affects steam used to drive the generators. For power stations where the electric generators are...
Thermowells are traditionally a circular cylinder installed into the piping to protect the temperature sensors from the flow. From an Emerson whitepaper, Thermowell Calculations: As a process fluid passes around the thermowell, low pressure vortices are created on the...
