Steady-State Process Gain
When we speak of a controller’s gain, we refer to the aggressiveness of its proportional control action: the ratio of output change to input change. However, we may go a…
Optical Flow Meter Principle
A recent development in industrial flow measurement is Optical Flow Meter which uses light to measure the velocity of a fluid through a pipe.
Why You Need FDA Process Validation and How to Do It Right ?
Why You Need FDA Process Validation and How to Do It Right ? It’s important for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies to maintain quality and safety standards across products intended for…
What is a Ultrasonic Flow Meter?
Ultrasonic flow meter measures fluid velocity by passing high-frequency sound waves along the fluid flow path.
Variable Motor Speed Control
An alternative to control valves for adjusting fluid flow is to regulate the speed of the machine(s) motivating fluid to flow. In the case of liquid flow control, this would…
What is a Positive Displacement Flow Meter?
Positive Displacement Flow Meter are rotary in nature, meaning each shaft revolution represents a certain volume of fluid has passed through meter.
What is a Weigh Feeder?
Most common weigh feeder design consists of a conveyor belt with a section supported by rollers coupled to one or more load cells.
What is a Magnetic Flow Meter?
Magnetic Flow Meter based on electromagnetic induction. These flow meters are commonly known as magnetic flowmeters or simply magflow meters.
What is a Paddle Wheel Flow Meter?
A variation of turbine flow measurement is the paddle wheel flow meter, a very inexpensive technology usually in the form of an insertion-type flow sensor.
What is a Turbine Flow Meter?
Turbine flow meter use a free-spinning turbine wheel to measure fluid velocity, much like a miniature windmill installed in the flow stream.
