Pressure instrumentation

The evaluation methods could be direct, e.g., measuring a containment index, or indirect, e.g., measuring pressure loss or velocity distribution. The direct methods are used to measure the performance of a hood or an inlet during periodic preventive maintenance. Indirect methods are used for verifying or checking on a daily basis (routine checks). How often each method is used depends on the availability of instrumentation and qualified personnel, since direct measurement of a hood s performance can be both expensive and difficult. On the other hand, indirect methods are usually easier to use and can sometimes include inexpensive, continuously monitoring instruments (pressure gauges or velocity indicators). 

Both heated stages [224] and ambient temperature gas environments [225,226] have been developed for use in electron microscopy and both are combined [227,228] in the controlled atmosphere instrument. Pressures of up to 30 kPa and temperatures up to 1500 K have been used in studies of a wide variety of solid—gas and catalytic reactions [ 229].

The bath was turned on the day before the experiments. The equilibrium cell and all the lines were first evacuated. Then, the liquid heavy component was loaded from a scaled glass tank above valve V7. Carbon dioxide was finally pumped into the cell from a cooled storage unit through valves VI and V3 until the desired level of pressure was attained. The pressure was measured by a Data Instruments pressure tranducer model AB (range 5000 psi) with an accuracy of 0.1 bar. The temperature inside the cell was measured by a thermoresistance sensor (PT100Q) within + 0.1 °C.

The minimum on the H-u plot (Eq. 5) corresponds to the best separation efficiency, but separations are often performed at a higher-than-optimum flow rate to decrease the run time. The speed vs. efficiency characteristics of various HPLC columns can be optimized using kinetic plots proposed by Poppe. There, the minimum column holdup time, fo, necessary to produce the desired number of theoretical plates, N, can be determined from the diagonal line at the point on the plots of H/u, characterizing the speed of separation vs. N in logarithmic coordinates. The plots are charted for different column types assuming a maximum allowed instrumental pressure, = 40...

Most process plants have many instrument components that must be incorporated into the design by the plant layout designer. ITte most common are vessel level instruments, pressure and temperature indicators, control valves, and flow elements. 

A portion of the instrumentation used is shown in Figure 12 while Figure 13 gives the location of the instrximented points. Main instrumented pressure points were at the pump inlet, and at the pump discharge, temperatures Tj and T at these same points and T of the fluid in the inlet just ahead of the inducer.

Niemela et al. reported on the determination of iron, selenium and arsenic using a hexapole collision cell instrument pressurized with a mixture of hydrogen (7%) in helium, without the use of post-cell energy discrimination. Detection limits for Fe and Se of 15.5 ng/L and 29 ng/L in 2% v/v nitric acid were obtained under optimized conditions. A detection limit for As in 5% v/v hydrochloric acid of 153 ng/L was achieved. 

In order to carry out the proposed experiments connected with the WWER-640 reactor, the PACTEL was reconstructed (Fig. 2). The main parts of the PACTEL have been kept in the experiments such as the instrumented pressure vessel, the downcomer, the lower plenum, the core, and upper plenum. The remaining components and systems were excluded. 

The porosity of the sample is the percentage of open cells in the scaffold. This property was measured using the UltraFoam 1000 pycnometer by Quantachrome Instruments. The instrument pressurizes its sample chamber at approximately 6 psi and measures the volume of gas, Eg, that can enter the scaffold due to the interconnectivity of the pores. As described in Eq. 2, this volume of gas is divided by the volume of the sample, to calculate the porosity of the scaffold, P.
