In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

Closed-loop circulating provides pressure control in many drilling and completion applications for which conventional fluid return systems are inadequate. Flexible and scalable to the task, these ...

Hydraulic applications rely upon fluid power or pressurized fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. These systems are capable of producing high power and high forces in small volumes and have ...

I just finished testing a module capable of measuring a range of pressures! The experiment is centered around a small and inexpensive pressure sensor module available with the description “HX710B ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but experience ...

Environmental temperature fluctuations can cause sensor output variations separate from measured pressure. A sensor’s thermal sensitivity dictates the severity of these output errors, with higher ...
