1. Introduction In the field of industrial automation, ensuring equipment reliability and early fault detection is essential to maintaining system safety and minimizing downtime. To address this, the NAMUR organization (User Association of Automation Technology in Process Industries, Germany) published NE 43, a guideline that defines how process instruments should signal failure conditions using standardized […]

In industrial environments, the proper installation of cables—whether for power, control, instrumentation, or data—is vital for both short-term performance and long-term reliability. One of the most often overlooked yet critical aspects of cable installation is the minimum bend radius. Ignoring this factor can lead to cable damage, safety risks, and system malfunctions.

In petrochemical plants, instrumentation plays a critical role in ensuring process safety, control, and operational efficiency. However, the flammable and explosive nature of hydrocarbons poses significant fire hazards, especially to field-mounted sensors, transmitters, and junction boxes. Proper fire protection strategies for instrumentation are essential to prevent catastrophic failures and ensure personnel and environmental safety. 1.

Integrated temperature and pressure gauges—also known as dual-function indicators—are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy sectors for real-time monitoring of both temperature and pressure in a single instrument. Prices vary significantly depending on specifications, structure, and application environments, ranging from budget-friendly mechanical models to high-end versions with electronic outputs and rugged construction.
