Pressure switches measurement

Tab. 2.8-2 Abbreviations for measurement and control point For example, PDIRCA S denotes a differential pressure measurement that is displayed and registered in the control room and is additionally equipped with a pre-alarm Maxi and a switch at Max2.

Based upon the measured press curves, the closed loop control also automatically adjusts the time at which the pressure level switching occurs, so that the pressures are applied at the appropriate phases in the press. User configurable parameters allow the ratio of PI to P2 to be adjusted and also allow the user to specify the desired switching times (as a percentage of each motion phase). 

Other elaborations might include the use of independent pressure switches rather than taking all control signals from a single transmitter. Figure 12.14 shows a typical automatic system. It also uses two block valves. The more secure arrangement has differential pressure measurement across each valve. When the pressure differential... 

In order to be able to completely describe a pump combination as to its operating data, all that is now lacking is the calculation of the maximum cut-in pressure for the Roots vacuum pump. Meant here is the conventional mode of operating the Roots pump at a full rotational speed, without bypass valve and a programmed fixed cut-in pressure (through a pressure switch or through a pressure measurement arrangement from the side of the plant, for example). 

Especially cavity temperature sensors are increasingly used to control the injection molding process. Here, the arrival of the melt front on the sensor is detected in real time and used for switch over operations in real time. In contrast to the cavity pressure measurement, the position of the melt is always known this way and can he optimized with the help of programmable delay times. This allows moving weld lines in a certain direction, and the meeting of the melt (e.g., in sequential molding) can he optimized [8]. 

Many large petrochemical projects involve considerable investment. Plant output value can be measured in staggering amounts of money if value of lost production is calculated. An incorrect pressure switch installed on a compressor may have very little direct financial impact to a compressor manufacturer, but it can cause a loss to the user far in excess of the total value of the compressor package itself. Extra care must therefore be taken in compressor performance tests. In the planning of a pro- ject, testing has to be reviewed to ... 

For the standby pump start test, which is an important test to ensure the pumps transfer without large pressure swings, a check should be made to see if the relief valves lift or the pressure falls to a pressure one half the difference between the standby pump start pressure and the compressor trip pressure. The transient pressure is best measured with a multipen chart recorder. The chart speed must be high enough to fully display the pressure variation. While not as good as the chart recorder, a simple shop-made test setup can be substituted. A spare switch is temporarily connected to the same location as the other switches. This switch is calibrated to close at the threshold acceptance pressure. The contacts are wired to a test light through a seal relay. The purpose of the relay is to maintain the cir-... 

The following isotopic labeling experiment was performed in order to quantify the contribution of the direct and indirect reaction routes to CO formation After steady-state reaction with CH4/02/He was achieved, an abrupt switch of the feed from CH4/02/He to an isotopic mixture of CH4/1 02/ C 02/He was made, in which the partial pressures of CH4 and 62 were kept exactly the same as in the ordinary CH4/02/He mixture, so as not to disturb the steady-state condition. However, C 02 was added to the isotopic mixture in an amount corresponding to approximately 10-15% of the CO2 produced during reaction of the mixture. The purpose was to measure the production of C 0 due to reforming of CH4 with C 02 only (indirect reaction scheme) under steady-state conditions of the working catalyst surface. Figure 3 shows the transient responses of and C O... 

The weather station is fitted with various sensors and is capable of monitoring the following parameters Time, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, barometric pressure, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall and humidity. The water meter used in our demonstration is a Neptune (Neptune Measurement Company, 1984) impulse switch which develops an electrical impulse for every ounce of water flow.
