In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

P&ID drawings provide an overall summary of the process. Together with facility layout drawings, the P&ID drawings provide an overall view of a facility, what it does and where the equipment is ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

In the field of industrial flow handling equipment, pressure reduction often needs to be managed in a controlled and staged manner, a process known as multi-stage pressure reduction. This approach is ...

Updating and maintaining a Process Flow Diagram (PFD) for Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) involves several key steps. Here's a comprehensive guide: Gather Information Review ...

Yet, many applications of PD pumps may benefit from flow control — e.g., direct control to meet process objectives or a cascade from level, temperature or other control loops. Flow control on most ...

Quick read. Flow Meter Design: Orifice type flow meters measure gas flow based on pressure drops, requiring accurate design conditions for molecular weight, pressure, and temperature to ensure correct ...

Quick read. Cascade Control Enhances Temperature Response: By detecting and correcting disturbances more quickly than direct control, cascade control enhances temperature regulation and reduces ...

Abstract: Process measurement is the task of empirically and objectively assigning numbers to the attributes of processes in such a way as to describe them. We define process complexity as the degree ...
