Pressure Differential Flow Meters: Adjusting Range and Recalculation After Commissioning

Overview: Differential pressure flow meters are widely used in industrial applications to measure flow rates by calculating the difference in pressure across a restriction in the pipe. It is common for the original range of the flow meter to be inadequate once the system is in operation. This article discusses how to handle such situations […]

The Power of Reactors in Chemical Engineering

In the realm of chemical production, reactors are often the core equipment, pivotal for achieving efficient and safe chemical reactions. Understanding a reactor’s true nature requires an engineering perspective, as it is more than just a “heatable container”—it is a complex system that integrates thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, material science, and automation control. 1. The Essence

Why Does a Smaller Pipe Diameter Affect the Accuracy of Flow Meters?

Many may have noticed that when the pipe diameter is equal to or slightly larger than the flow meter’s measuring pipe diameter, the flow readings remain stable, and the flow coefficient is normal. Even if secondary flow occurs, the impact on the instrument is minimal. However, when the situation reverses and the pipe diameter becomes

Distillation, Fractionation, and Rectification in Chemical Engineering: Understanding the Differences

In chemical production, distillation, fractionation, and rectification are the most commonly used techniques for separating liquid mixtures. While they share the same fundamental principle—separation based on differences in volatility—they differ in their operational methods, equipment complexity, and application areas. Understanding the connections and differences between these methods helps in selecting the most suitable separation technique,

Explosion-Proof Classification: A Complete Guide and Application

Overview of Explosion-Proof Classification Explosion-proof classification is a globally recognized standard system used to define the safe operational capabilities of electrical equipment in explosive environments. The primary purpose is to ensure that the equipment cannot act as an ignition source (e.g., sparks or high temperatures) that could trigger an explosion. Key Elements of Explosion-Proof Classification

Understanding “Process Stability” in Chemical Production

In chemical manufacturing, stable operations are crucial—just like driving a car smoothly, where speed, direction, throttle, and brakes must work in harmony. If any of these components fluctuate too much, accidents are inevitable. Process fluctuations, including abnormal changes in temperature, pressure, flow rate, raw material composition, or equipment status, are among the most common and

Analysis of Resistance Changes and Range in Thermocouples as Temperature Increases

1. Principle of Thermocouples and Their Resistance Characteristics A thermocouple is a commonly used sensor in industrial temperature measurement. Its core principle is based on the Seebeck effect: two different metal wires (the thermoelectrodes) are connected to form a closed loop. When the two ends are at different temperatures, a thermoelectric potential (in millivolt levels)
