Can a flowmeter bridge the IT/OT divide?
If marketplace adoption is the primary judge, then the process industry's first-generation digital fieldbus standards significantly underachieved. Indeed, the venerable 4-20mA analog standard, augmented by HART, remains the predominant field communications modality....
read moreIt’s Time to Recognise Integral Ended Connections on Instrument Manifolds
Securing leak-free connection of impulse lines to manifolds for applications that use differential pressure flowmeters is a subject that has taxed instrumentation engineers for more than a century. Back in 1910, when the very first orifice plate installations made an...

Maintenance & Calibration of Glass Body pH Electrodes.
Recommended Calibration Procedures: 1. Rinse the pH electrode thoroughly with de-ionised, water to remove all traces of the storage solution, process medium, or previous test/buffer solution, to reduce the risk of carry-over contamination of the pH buffer test...
Keeping a Level Head
Suffering from inaccurate level measurements for liquid, foam, or solids? Mechanical obstacles getting in the way causing turbulence and waves? ABB's family of non-contact laser volume and level products, LLT100, LM80, and LM200, provide solutions for accurate...
The Benefits of Digital Valve Positioners
Digital valve positioners can improve valve operation while lowering operating and maintenance costs in a process plant. This article discusses the process control loop with a specific focus on the control valve and its role in these systems. The article will then...
