Instrumentation locations

Figure 8-32. Line drawing showing instrumentation locations for a rod drop monitor.

Remote—An instrument located away from the equipment (normally a control cabinet). 

Process flow diagrams (Figure 3.1.3-2) are more complex. They show all main flow streams, valves, vessels, condensers, heat exchangers, instrument locations, reflux columns, etc. Pressures... 

Poor Instrument Location - Lack of Temperature Confirmation... 

Locally mounted means that the controller and display is located out on the plant near to the sensing instrument location. Main panel means that they are located on a panel in the control room. Except on small plants, most controllers would be mounted in the control room. 

Examine the instrument to which you are assigned. Locate the source of the carrier gas and trace the line to the instrument. If an FID is to be used, also locate the source of the hydrogen and air, and trace the lines of each to the instrument. Locate the injection port. Note any gauges and controls on the front of the instrument, and try to identify their functions. Open the column oven and locate the column. Note the proximity of the inlet end of the column to the injection port. Note the outlet end of the column and locate the detector. 

A trivial yet important application is following ethanol production via a bioprocess. Sivakesava et al.1 simultaneously measured glucose, ethanol, and the optical cell density of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during ethanol fermentation, using an off-line approach. Samples were brought to an instrument located near the fermentation tanks and the measurements made in short order. While they eventually used MIR due to the interfering scatter of the media, they proved that Raman could be used for this application. 

The barrel floats" on the screw, rather than being permanently affixed to the frame of the device itself. This facillitates the measurements of barrel torques and thrusts as a function of operating conditions and the type of polymer being conveyed. Fig. 5.9 schematically details the extruder section of the solids conveying device and the instrumentation location [10]. Dark red arrows indicate force measurements, and light yellow rectangles represent temperature and heat flux measurements. A total of five force devices allowed the measurement of the screw...

Number of Tests Per Instrument/Location/Day/Month. Attempt an estimate of the average workload on each instrument. 

Miscellaneous includes heater stacks, winterizing, insulation, steam or electrical tracing of lines, heat exchanger tubing size standardization, instrument locations. 

Reproducibility is the closeness of the agreement between the results of measurements of the same analyte in distinct subsamples of a test material, where the individual measurements are carried out changing conditions such as observer, measuring instrument, location, conditions of use, time, but applying the same method.2... 

Pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles are thermodynamic properties or thermodynamic variables of a system—in this case, a gas sample. Their values are measured by experimenters using thermometers, pressure gauges, and other instruments located outside the system. The properties are of two types those that increase proportionally with the size of the system, such as n and K called extensive properties, and those defined for each small region in the system, such as P and T, called intensive properties. Terms that are added together or are on opposite sides of an equal sign must contain the same number of... 

What kind of information can be obtained by a Sun-orbiting satellite, but not by an instrument located on Earth ... 

To perform its microbiological inactivation action, the steam must come into contact with the micro-organisms. This can occur directly or indirectly. It occurs directly when the steam makes contact, for example, with a surgical instrument located in the autoclave chamber. It occurs indirectly when the steam is generated, for example, inside a sealed ampoule that contains an aqueous solution by heat exchange with the steam in the chamber. However, it is evident that it is impossible to steam-sterilize the inside of a closed empty ampoule or its contents if they are, for example, an anhydrous oil-based solution. 

Instrumentation and control. Operation of a fluid cracking unit is simplified by the use of automatic controls. As a further aid, graphic panel-boards are sometimes employed which utilize small indicating instruments located at the appropriate positions in a simplified flow diagram of the process (68,309). Audible and visual alarms, as well as automatic controls for emergency shutdown of the unit, are often provided (202).

For the checking measurements conducted by the customer, reflectors were positioned in such away that an optimal view of the dikes was possible from instrument locations. Subsequently the measurements were collected with reference to element-coordinates. Estimates of accuracy concluded that a standard deviation for element-coordinates between 10 and 15mm needed to be adhered to. Due to the incessant motion of the element induced by tides and currents all measurements were carried out on the floating element. 

The development diagram of the instrument panel, Fig. 5.8.B, identifies briefly the more important control and instrument locations.
