Companies often resist change, especially when lacking direction, a defined end goal, guidance and leadership. It should be a top priority for executives to cut costs and streamline operations.  However, there may be several emerging barriers for companies to overcome in order to begin investing in energy management.

Material Compatibility refers to a material's resistance to corrosion, rust or stains when it comes in contact with a chemical.

The accurate measurement of humidity is important in many HVAC/R applications. Relative Humidity (RH) is a measure of the ‘actual humidity’, relative to the maximum possible humidity at a given temperature. RH sensors contain an assembly that is made up of an integrated sensor and transmitter. The sensor measures the RH while the transmitter creates an output signal proportional to the sensed RH. There are two common types of humidity sensing elements that are most widely used; Capacitive and Resistive.

Have you seen a large metal instrument, similar to the picture on the right, floating in the ocean and wondered what that device could be? What you have seen is a buoy (pronounced: boo-ee). A data buoy contains sensors used to monitor and collect atmospheric and oceanographic conditions.

When selecting a filter it is important to select the proper filter type, not only for removing undesirable material from a liquid stream but to ensure the filter meets the needs and requirements of the system.  Proper filter selection can be varied amongst industrial applications including water filtration, boilers, and irrigation. Filter selection not only encompasses the media and size of the particle that is being captured, but operational costs also come into play. Below three basic filter types to consider for liquid processing:

Hydrogen is used as a process media across many different industries and applications. Used in OEM equipment, pressure sensors play an important role in the safe, efficient, and reliable operation in material handling equipment, power generation, hydrogen production/distribution and many other applications.

Even with a pressure transducer, it can be very confusing to measure pressure. For one thing it may be diffcult to understand all the different pressure measurement types, and apply its application correctly.

Hopefully this presentation can clear things up:

There is no guarantee of a perfect, contaminant free cleanroom. However by adhering to room pressure requirements, proper gowning procedures and by understanding the origins of the contaminants, users can minimize contamination risk to ensure safe testing and manufacturing environment. These are some of the things you may not have realized can compromise a cleanroom, and some possible ways to reduce the contamination of the source.

After understanding the difference between wet-to-wet, wet-to-dry and dry-to-dry differential pressure transducers, it is time to learn about the different types of sensors designed to measure wet-to-wet differential pressure. Wet-to-wet differential pressure sensors are broken into two main categories, true wet-to-wet differential pressure and calculated wet-to-wet differential pressure.

A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) error is an error-detecting code used to identify accidental changes to raw data in digital networks and storage devices.

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Error indicates when data is corrupted. Calculating from all data, CRC validates packets of information sent by devices and verifies it against the data extracted, ensuring its accuracy. When sending packets over, BACnet automatically calculates and stores a CRC value for the packet. Later when the packet is received, BACnet calculates the CRC value of the packet and compares it to the original value. If the two values do not exactly match a CRC error occurs.
