Diaphragm Seals

Challenges of Pressure Measurement.

Managing Pressure measurement of Tough media that are having extremes of Temperature, Corrosive or Abrasive or in a cramped space with challenges to mount the measuring unit becomes tedious.
Here comes the solution.
Diaphragm seals, also known as remote seals, are used for pressure measurements to manage these challenges.
 A diaphragm seal isolates measuring instrument from the process medium while transferring the pressure to the measuring instrument.
The process side of the seal is isolated by a flexible diaphragm. The internal space between this diaphragm and the pressure measuring instrument is filled with a system fill fluid. The pressure is transmitted from the measured medium by the elastic diaphragm into the fluid and from there to the measuring element.
Between the diaphragm seal and pressure measuring instrument, a capillary is connected  to minimise temperature effects in case of applications involving hot or cold media.
Diaphragm seals with Typically large contact surface enables accurate pressure measurement. Typically used with Gauges, Transmitters etc.

ISO 50001 - Energy management

ISO 50001 - Energy management Using energy efficiently helps organizations save money as well as helping to conserve resources and tackle climate change. ISO 50001 supports organizations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently, through the development of an energy management system (EnMS). ISO 50001:2011 – Energy Management System ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management. ISO 50001:2011 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to: Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use Measure the results Review how well the policy works, and Continually improve energy management.  Cer...

Life of Bearing

Life of Bearing depends on Loading. Static loads have constant magnitude and direction where as dynamic loads, vary in both magnitude and direction. Misalignment is an important source of excessive static load. Belt drive is another source of static load. Rotor malfunctions, Unbalance, rub, or aerodynamic or fluid-induced instability can produce excessive dynamic loads. Coupling malfunctions may introduce excessive static and dynamic loads. Portable Vibration Analyzers or Online Vibration monitoring systems can help in identifying faults that can be caused due to overloads well in advance facilitating predictive maintenance.

Measuring Altitude..

Flying High ?...........At what Altitude ? You can find the Altitude by measuring pressure. Interesting ...? Read to know more.. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the gravitational attraction of the planet on the atmospheric gases above the surface. The standard atmospheric pressure or Barometric pressure at sea level on the Earth is 1013.25 mBar or 760mmHg. Pressure on Earth varies with the altitude of the surface. Atmospheric pressure decreases smoothly as the altitude increases. Altimeters measures absolute pressure to indicate the Altitude. At this point it's important to understand the difference between Absolute pressure and Gauge pressure. Absolute pressure uses absolute zero as its zero point, while gauge pressure uses atmospheric pressure as its zero point. Clear ? Due to varying atmospheric pressure, gauge pressure measurement is not precise, while absolute pressure is always definite. Hence for applications like Aerospace, Flight Instrumentation or Vacuu...
