The Role and Impact of the Pre-Expander in Material Production

In many material production lines, the pre-expander is not the largest or most noticeable piece of equipment. However, experienced technicians often acknowledge that the stability of the pre-expansion stage significantly affects subsequent molding and product quality. The primary function of a pre-expander (Pre-expander) is not simply to increase the size of the material but to […]

Purpose of the Three-Valve Manifold Operation Sequence

When operating a three-valve manifold for differential pressure instruments, two principles must always be observed: Never allow the condensate or sealing liquid in the impulse lines to drain. Never expose the measuring element (diaphragm or bellows) to sudden pressure or temperature stress. To achieve this, the three-valve manifold must be operated in the correct sequence

Understanding GO/NO-GO Gauges: Why “Dimensionally Qualified” Parts Still Fail During Assembly

In machining and manufacturing workshops, many engineers have encountered the following paradox: The inspection team insists: “All dimensions are within tolerance.” But at the assembly station, the shaft simply cannot enter the hole—no matter how much force the technician applies. Drawings are correct, machining offsets are correct, and measuring tools appear normal. Yet assembly still

Pulse Signal Selection and Timing in DCS Control Logic

Pulse signals are widely used in Distributed Control Systems (DCS) to trigger one-time actions such as valve actuation, counter increments, reset commands, and interlock releases. Selecting the proper pulse type—short or long—and determining appropriate pulse duration are essential to ensure reliable operation, prevent false triggering, and avoid missed actions. This article explains the engineering rules,
