Spreadsheets have been around almost as long as personal computers. While early versions were clumsy and limited in scope, today’s spreadsheet programs can do almost anything the user wants them to do. These broadened capabilities are made easier…
Flow measurement plays a critical role throughout the chemical process industries (CPI). Repeatable measurements are needed to maintain consistent production and quality standards in a wide range of process-control applications. Inaccurate liquid- and gas-flow measurements can mean the difference between…
With typical operations running around the clock, the chemical process industry (CPI) demands high performance from its instrumentation. Today's flowmetering solutions include tools for the entire life cycle of a flowmeter. From engineering, commissioning and start up to…
