It took many years, but wireless technology has become accepted by skeptical instrument engineers worldwide. When ISA100 Wireless instrumentation first appeared in 2010, engineers were nervous about ...

ARM Automation’s SplashBotix division has developed a compact, low-voltage submersible proportional valve intended for continuous underwater use in environments such as swimming pools and ocean water.

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

Combustion equipment safety is essential for the daily operation of facilities and safety of plant personnel. Safety protocols and mechanisms in industrial plants have improved drastically in the last ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

In August’s column, I discussed three-way control valves, their associated bypass pipes, and the importance of a balancing valve being located within the bypass pipe. Such balancing valves are needed ...
