Application of Tuning Fork Level Switches in Liquid Nitrogen Distribution Systems

Introduction Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is widely used across industries, medical fields, and research laboratories as a cryogenic liquid, stored at extremely low temperatures of around -196°C. Maintaining the stability of liquid nitrogen distribution systems is critical to ensuring their efficiency during vaporization and distribution processes. Tuning fork level switches, known for their high reliability and

Causes of Negative Pressure in Pipelines and Preventive Measures

Introduction Negative pressure in pipelines—defined as internal pressure falling below atmospheric pressure—is a common but often underestimated engineering issue.In practical operation, negative pressure can lead to serious consequences, including: Pipeline collapse or deformation Equipment damage caused by excessive suction forces Ingress of air or toxic gases into the system Increased leakage risk and accelerated fatigue

Common Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting of Orifice Plate Flowmeters

Orifice plate flowmeters are widely used in industrial flow measurement due to their simple structure and standardized design. However, because the measurement principle is based on differential pressure, their performance is highly sensitive to installation conditions, process parameters, and impulse piping systems. In practical applications, most failures can be classified into two main categories: Abnormal

What Happens Without ASME?

From Vessel Rupture to Weld Failure and Flange Leakage In real engineering practice, ASME is rarely discussed in philosophical terms.Most engineers encounter it in a much more concrete — and often frustrating — way: Required wall thickness suddenly increases Additional radiographic testing is requested Flange ratings must be reselected Documents are rejected and returned for

Breather Valves Are Not Safety Devices

A Common Engineering Misunderstanding in Atmospheric and Low-Pressure Storage Tanks In the petroleum, chemical, energy, and pharmaceutical industries, atmospheric and low-pressure storage tanks are among the most widely used process equipment.Unlike pressure vessels, the safety of these tanks does not rely on shell strength, but instead depends heavily on the effectiveness of their venting systems.

Handling External Screws on Pipe Expansion Joints: Removal or Tightening?

Pipe expansion joints are essential components in piping systems, designed to absorb thermal expansion, contraction, and other mechanical movements. A common question arises when dealing with the external screws (often called transportation bolts or limit rods) on these joints: should they be removed, or should the nuts be tightened during installation and operation? The answer

Why a Newly Installed Flow Meter Is Inaccurate — In Most Cases, It’s Not the Instrument

In industrial plants, energy metering systems, and water or wastewater applications, inaccurate flow readings are a common complaint.Very often, the first assumption is that the flow meter itself is faulty or poorly selected. However, real field experience shows a different truth: In most cases, inaccurate flow measurement is caused by improper installation and unfavorable process
