Process Measurement
Depending on the application a field instrument is required to measure and control different automation processes. This is why our process measurement instruments use different measuring principles to operate reliably and accurately in any situation.
See our wide range of process instrumentation to measure and control, including:
Pressure measurement – Powerful instruments for process pressure, differential pressure, level and flow.
Temperature measurement – Thermometers and transmitters for the process industry
Liquid Analysis – Water, beverages, dairy products, chemicals or pharmaceuticals have to be analyzed every day. Choose the device best suited to your process needs from our comprehensive product portfolio.
Level measurement – Continuous level measurement and point level detection in liquids and bulk solids
Flow measurement for liquids, gases and steam – Water, natural gas, steam, mineral oil, chemicals are some of the fluids that have to be measured day in, day out. Select the flowmeter best suited to your process needs.
Humidity sensors – designed for monitoring critical climate in industrial processes (e.g. production/process engineering)
Density measurement – precise sensors for measuring acid and lye concentrations, mixture density of abrasive or sticky liquids and the solid matter content of sludges and slurries.
What are the primary measuring principles used in process measurement instruments?
Process measurement instruments utilize various measuring principles depending on the specific application requirements. Common principles include pressure, temperature, and flow measurement. Instruments are designed to ensure reliability and accuracy, adapting to different environmental conditions and media types, which is crucial for effective automation in industrial settings.
How can I ensure the accuracy of pressure measurements in my system?
To ensure accurate pressure measurements, it is essential to use high-quality instruments like the Electronic Pressure Calibrator - Model LR-Cal LPC 200. Regular calibration and maintenance of your pressure measurement devices are also critical. Additionally, consider the installation location, environmental factors, and the type of fluid being measured, as these can all impact measurement accuracy.
What types of temperature measurement devices are available for industrial applications?
In industrial applications, various types of temperature measurement devices are available, including thermocouples, RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors), and infrared thermometers. Each type has its advantages based on the operating temperature range, response time, and application specifics. Selecting the right device is crucial for maintaining optimal process control and efficiency.
