  • Level Blog: Low Dielectric Radar Level Measurement

    Jim Cahill
    Guided wave level measurement technology works by sending low-energy microwave pulses along a metal probe which is then reflected by the surfaces. The probe is in direct contact with the media and detects a level when reaching a media with a different dielectric constant. It calculates the distance to the surface, which is then subtracted from the total length to calculate the level. For applications with fluids with…

  • Flow Blog: Overcoming Project Restart and Flow Measurement Challenges

    Jim Cahill
    I guess it’s maybe not true for most who fill up their cars at the gas station, but I’m happy seeing the steady rise in the price of a barrel of crude oil. Given the number of jobs affected in the oil & gas upstream, midstream and downstream industries here in Texas, higher prices are welcomed by many. In a World Oil article, Versatile DP flow metering technology solves redesign challenges on offshore platform project…

  • Flow Blog: Coriolis Flow Meters for High Accuracy Refining Applications

    Jim Cahill
    Measuring flow rates with differential pressure (DP) instruments has been a time-tested practice for decades. While still the most widely used flow measurement technology, other technologies have unique advantages for some applications. In a Processing article, Controlling critical refining applications with Coriolis meters , Emerson’s Julie Valentine and Meha Jha share specific applications where Coriolis flow measurement…

  • Analytical Experts Blog: Reduced Downtime with Gas Chromatograph Maintainable Module

    Jim Cahill
    Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in natural gas custody transfer metering applications to measure the various hydrocarbon components. An analytical module inside the GC can become contaminated and require replacement. The traditional GC uses disposable analytical modules which are wasteful and expensive. This quick 1:38 YouTube video, The Maintainable Module of Rosemount 370XA Gas Chromatograph , shows how this innovative…

  • Flow Blog: Uncertainty in Your Process Unit Mass Balance: What it’s Costing You and How to Improve it

    Jim Cahill
    At the process unit level, the mass balance is particularly important, as the charge and yield measurement streams serve as the basis for operational decision-making. When imbalances occur, process unit engineers can’t optimize their units with confidence. The good news is there are ways to mitigate these measurement uncertainties and improve balances. Strategically placed flow meter technology has been shown to alleviate…
