Sour Crude Oil Calls for NACE-Compliant Stainless Steel Pressure Gauge
Alina Green | PressureA NACE-compliant stainless steel pressure gauge is the perfect solution for refineries and other petrochemical applications that work with sour crude oil, whose higher sulfur content has greater potential for corroding instrumentation and causing costly problems. …
WIKA’s Mini Diaphragm Semiconductor Gauge: Reliable Pressure Solution for Corrosive UHP Environments
Patrick McGrath | PressureBourdon tube gauges are commonly used for measuring pressure, but this doesn’t mean that a bourdon tube gauge is the best pressure measurement solution for all semiconductor applications. As highlighted in a respected 2018 trade magazine article, a mini …
GPU-2000: An All-in-One Solution for SF6 Handling, Replacement, and Cleaning
Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsThe level of humidity in SF 6 -insulated switchgear must be kept below its water saturation point. If the gas is too humid, it loses some of its insulating properties; corrosion and dangerous leaks can also occur. A complete SF 6 handling instrument monitors the …
Water: The Most Powerful Impurity in SF6 Gas-Insulated Switchgear
Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsSulfur hexafluoride is the gas most commonly used as insulator in power transmission and distribution switchgear. Water, however, can negatively affect the dielectric capabilities of SF 6 gas. To prevent operational and safety issues, it is important to measure and …
