Finding a vacuum gauge for monitoring chemical processes can be a challenge. There are few gauges that simultaneously cover the appropriate vacuum range with sufficient accuracy and have the ability to cope with regular exposure to aggressive chemicals. VACUUBRAND's VACUU·VIEW™…
Because vacuum technology spans 15 orders of magnitude (103 mbar - 10-12 mbar, or 760 torr - 10-12 torr), there is no single vacuum gauge that can cover the full range. Consequently, a number of different gauge technologies have…
In our last post, we talked about our pump selection guide as one tool that we've made available to identify the right vacuum pump for your needs. This is a great tool to use to quickly narrow down your options, especially…
With a focus on flowmeters, this article shows how advances in measurement technologies help safety system designers reduce risk and cost in their safety instrumented systems (SIS) design and lifecycle management Successful implementation and management of a safety instrumented system…
Another question that we often hear from our customers is, what pump do I need? The right answer depends upon a variety of factors - such as the nature of the process or application, the working pressure and/or flow rate…
Security techniques widely used in information technology (IT) require special considerations to be useful in operational settings. Here are several that should get closer attention Industrial cybersecurity risks are widely appreciated. In April, the deputy director of the U.S. National…
Vacuum is a very widely used utility in the process industries – from pharmaceutical and chemical to food and biotechnology. While some applications require fairly deep vacuum – so-called “fine” vacuum – many other operations rely on vacuum in the…
In light of the operational concerns reviewed in Part 1, this chemical recycling firm decided to evaluate different pump technologies. Fortunately, recent advances in vacuum pump technology make dry-running pumps a viable option for many of those currently using liquid…
Summary: A number of common industrial processes require vacuum, such as distillation or drying operations. The necessary vacuum has historically been supplied using a variety of technologies that have high operating costs in terms of both consumables (e.g., oil, water)…
