    Using Thermocouple Feed-Thru Spare Terminations for Drain Wire

    I agree with you EdStainless about the optical pyrometers but we are building a prototype that will be tested, tweaked, etc., and potentially go into production once they get it where they want it or how they want it, cost is has a big part in the equipment we're choosing. The process temp will...

    Using Thermocouple Feed-Thru Spare Terminations for Drain Wire

    The process is induction melting of a specific metal. Thermocouples are used for measuring the temperature of the container holding the molten metal. A type K extension cable ties the thermocouples to the feed-thru 41-pin flange. Another multipair cable is connected to the exterior vessel side...

    Using Thermocouple Feed-Thru Spare Terminations for Drain Wire

    I have a 41-pin thermocouple (type K) feed-thru flange for connecting a multipair thermocouple extension cable from within a vessel to the outside. The multipair cable has an overall shield and drain wire. I have 5 spare pins on the feed-thru flange; 3 are chromel (+) and 2 are aluminel (-)...

    Control Valve Liquid Application Calcs for FL, dP_ch & Pvc

    Maybe I'm missing something but I've gone round and round trying to come up with a way to solve the three (3) equations below. Let's say I calculate Pvc (pressure at vena contracta, psia) using the formula Pvc = FF * Pv. That's ok but when you insert Pvc into the FL (Liquid Pressure recovery...

    Instrument manifold

    I am trying to locate a manufacturer of an ANSI 10,000# 5 valve instrument manifold. I've been to Anderson Greenwood and the best they offer is a 6000# rating at 200 deg. F. I would appreciate any leads you can give me on looking a manifacturer that fits the 10,000# rating. Thanks!!

    Intools/SmartPlant

    Thanks JLSeagull. I will post this in the forums you mentioned. As for the company I work for, it is an oil & gas consulting firm. We do about 98% offshore work with some, very little, plant jobs. The company started in NO about 20-25 years ago and eventually got an office in houston about...

    Intools/SmartPlant

    My company has just implemented the Intools, or I guess what is now called SmartPlant, program. I haven't really looked much into it due to other priorities, but a client we are starting a new job for soon wants our company to use this program. I work for an oil/gas consulting firm that mostly...

    Hastelloy C-276

    I have cleared up a few things. The elements diaphragm is Hastelloy, but the body is either SS or Hastelloy. I see that they are using Hastelloy when seawater is the process, which could be a corrosive liquid. But would SS be just as good, or are there many other factors to consider before...

    Hastelloy C-276

    I am new to the instrumentation side of EE and need some expertise on a particular subject. I am checking some PIT spec sheets and have run across the term Hastelloy C-276. I have read that it has a much better resistance to corrosive material, as opposed to SS. I see that they use the...

    candela or lumens

    See page 9 of 12 at the following link to see an example of what I mean. See on the right upper corner where it reads LAMP WATTS and CONVERSION FACTOR. http://www.crouse-hinds.com/crousehinds/newproducts/relatedinfo/EVI%20Series%20brochure.pdf#search='crousehinds%20series%20conversion%20factor'

    candela or lumens

    Let me clear this up. In the catalog, there are actual numbers that are listed as CONVERSION FACTORS if you are not using the given example. Maybe I am misreading it, but I think I am supposed to use the conversion factor, 1.63 which is what they list in the catalog for a 175W mercury halide...

    candela or lumens

    I don't have an IES book. I was just wondering about the conversion factor that crouse-hinds has listed in their catalog. It is not clear, and as said before I am new to lighting, as to what the ocnversion factor corresponds to.

    candela or lumens

    I am looking at some lighting in Cooper-Crouse Hinds catalog and have a question about a conversion factor. The catalog gives an example of a type of light and if you use a different watt lamp, it gives a conversion factor. Am I to multiply the conversion factor to the number of lumens or to...

    Excel Macros

    Well, I am generating an IO list for an offshore platform and being able to use macros to fill in cells given certain information would speed up the process. I am looking for something like given data in a cell or cells, insert particular info into another cell and be able to do it...
