Safe, cost-effective level measurement

Endress+Hauser non-contact radar measures level in corrosive chemical tanks A U.S. water treatment plant operating at 85 MGD capacity was in need of accurate and reliable level measurement for chemical tanks with product density variations due to temperature changes, without…

Vacuum Measurement – Pirani Gauges

Pirani gauges are a group of indirect measuring pressure gauges which measure the thermal conductivity of the gas sample.  Pirani gauges are typically used in the fine vacuum range (1 torr - 10-3 torr), as this is the range where…

pH Measurement in Industrial Waters

Determination of pH is a critical and ubiquitous operation whenever water is used in the chemical process industries (CPI). This one-page reference provides a review of pH chemistry and information on pH measurement equipment in CPI applications. Chemistry of pH…

Vacuum Measurement – Capacitive Gauges

In one of our prior posts, we talked about the key differences between direct and indirect vacuum gauges.  One of the most common direct gauge technologies is the capacitive gauge.  This post will review how these gauges are constructed and…

Vacuum Measurement Made Easy

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™…

Vacuum Measurement – Direct & Indirect Gauges

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…

Vacuum Pump Sizing – Estimating Flow Rate

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…
