    HART communicators

    Hi, Can anyone reccomend a basic up to date HART field communicator for an industrial environment to connect to a stand alone transmitter for set up and calibration? Fairly happy with the now discontinued Emerson 375 & 475's but the ones I've tried lately either dont have full set-up...

    positioning of orifice plate

    I have some queries regarding the positioning of an orifice plate in a vertical gas main approx 30 inches in diameter. Ideally it should be positioned with 10 straight pipe diameters upstream and 5 downstream. Assuming I only have 10 straight pipe diameters in total (a 90 degree bend at one...

    thermally conductive gels/pastes

    Does anyone know of, or could recomend any commercially available gels or pastes that I could use to conduct teperature to the tip of a thermocouple that is inserted into a hole drilled in a refractory brick. The gel/paste needs to be able to withstand upto 200 degs c and must not set solid as...

    optical pyrometry on conveyor belts

    Has anyone had any experience of measuring the temperature of a product on a conveyor belt? Is optical pyrometry the best method? If so, does the depth of material on the coveyor affect the reading by any great amount? Are pyro's accurate at lower ranges of temperature measurement? ie <60 degs...

    Thermocouple basics

    I wish to test a thermocouple loop by injecting a millivoltage from in the field where the thermocouple terminates to compensating cable, back to a substation and a thermocouple/mA convertor card with cold junction compensation. Lets say the field temp is 30 degrees c and the substation temp is...

    accuracy and error measurement

    How do I work out the overall accuracy of the following measurement, or at least make a reasonable estimate of % error? I am measuring a gas flow using an orifice plate/dp cell to give a signal to a DCS, and compensating for pressure and temp using a seperate pressure transmitter and resistance...

    optical strain gauges

    What is the principle of operation of an optical strain gauge,and why would you choose one over a conventional strain gauge?

    checking the cal of a NIR moisture meter

    We have 'inherited' a NIR moisture meter that measures the moisture of granular material on a conveyor belt. The belt itself, whilst covered over above and to the sides is basically outside, and subject to wind gusting along its length. The setup in the manual is simple enough. Place a test...

    definition of slurry?

    How is slurry defined with regards to choosing suitable instrumentation for a particular application? I mean, at what point does say water with suspended solids in it (that behaves just like water) become a slurry (i.e. has the consistency of paint or mud)? And how do you define that point? Is...

    Moisture measurement of furnace gas

    I am looking at trying to detect water leaking from coolers around a furnace by measuring the moisture content of the gas between the metal casing of the furnace and the first layer of refractory brickwork. Currently a combination of thermocouples and H2 monitoring is used to indicate leaking...
