When thinking of gas detector calibration and how often it must be performed, it is dependent on many variables. First and foremost is determining if a gas sensor is out of calibration. The best way to establish this is through a 'bump' or functional test using a certified standard gas mixture of known concentration. If the device is functioning properly and still measuring gas within tolerance, calibration is unnecessary. Bump testing should be performed as regular maintenance on any gas det...

Switches are no longer the blind, ‘dumb’ electromechanical devices of a generation ago. Signals from sensors in critical safety loops (e.g. protecting against high temperature or pressure) are typically integrated with the plant control system via a discrete or analog input channel. A switch provides a binary (on/off) input, while transmitters provide a continuous (4 to 20 mA) analog input. Both signal types have a role to play in Safety Controls, Alarms and Interlocks (SCAI) inclu...

Pressure switches are widely used within many applications in industrial facilities. The basic function of a pressure switch is to detect a pressure change and convert it into an electrical function typically on/off or off/on. These products have been around for decades but sometimes customers still need help when looking to select a pressure switch to solve a problem or improve the performance of a process in their facility. basic considerations ...

In industrial applications, a “switch” typically means “a snap-acting electrical component that is combined with a process sensor to provide electrical switch output and take action to alert or control a process”. While a transmitter is defined as, “an instrument that continuously monitors and provides information about a process with no switch point”. Switches take action and transmitters inform Users can also think about a switch as a point monitor and a...

Electromechanical switches were once ubiquitous in industrial plants. With the advancement of instrumentation technology, the apparent limitations of these switches have become more obvious over time. accuracy and repeatability As eMicroprocessors have continued to get more powerful, plant operators have demanded greater accuracy and repeatability from process monitoring/control instrumentation, something which could not be fulfilled by mechanically-operated switches. The same end users also...

Back in 1681, Denis Pepin designed the first pressure relief valve to keep his experimental steam chamber from exploding. His idea was simple – to use the process’ own power as the safety operator, rather than an external system. Fast forward to 1931 when the modern rupture disc was invented using the tensile strength of various materials to provide both barrier and relief if things went wrong. That same year, United Electric Controls connected a metal bellows to the snap-action ele...
