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 Temperature Measurement and Control Problems, Emerson’s Shane Hale describes some of these challenges and how manufacturers and producers are […]
I just Googled “digital transformation” and saw it returning about 34,900,000 results—so there is no shortage of information out there. But what if your company imperative is to digitally transform your manufacturing or production operations due to market pressures or other business drivers? There are a lot of myths you must navigate around. Jim Montague, […]
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in the oil & gas industry where critical measurement of the components in gas are required. GCs are used in custody transfer applications to more complex hydrocarbon C9+ analysis with dew point calculations, trace contaminant monitoring, and product quality verification. A GC consists of a probe, sample system, chromatographic oven […]
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in natural gas applications to measure the hydrocarbon components. The heavier natural gas liquids beyond butane and pentane are referred to as C6+ hydrocarbons. Gas chromatographs performing C6+ analysis are used by hydrocarbon processing facilities when high-quality product specifications are required or when rigid custody transfer standards are needed in […]
When I first heard that Australian accent in the YouTube video, 370XA Gas Chromatograph Cal-Gas Saver (4:23 runtime), I knew it was my friend Emerson’s Shane Hale, a Product Marketing Manager involved in the new product design process for gas chromatographs in the Natural Gas industry. You may recall Shane from earlier gas chromatograph-related posts. […]
