How Ambient Conditions Can Compromise Density Measurements in T&D SF6-Insulated Equipment
Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsFor decades, the power transmission and distribution (T&D) industry has been using sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) as the insulator in circuit breakers, disconnectors, and switchgear. The heat transfer and dielectric characteristics of this gas are better than those of …
Dual Chamber Magnetic Level Indicator for Measuring Total and Interface Liquid Levels
Patrick McGrath | LevelThere is a wide selection of level indicators in the market, but what do you do when none of those fit the requirements of your application? That was the problem a major chemical company recently faced. It needed to measure the total liquid level and interface liquid …
Level Measurement in Mobile Machine Applications
Patrick McGrath | LevelAll mobile machines have to operate reliably outdoors. Undergoing even tougher conditions are mobile equipment for use in the military and in the construction, agriculture, mining, and material handling industries. Such unforgiving environments put a heavy burden …
Magnetostrictive Level Measuring in Mobile Machines
Patrick McGrath | LevelWhen it comes to working under harsh conditions, mobile machines in the construction, agriculture, mining, and material handling industries — as well as in the military — are at the top of the list. Measuring instrumentation needed to ensure safe and efficient …
