The dielectric and heat transfer characteristics of sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) has made it the insulator of choice for circuit breakers, disconnectors, and switchgear in the power transmission and distribution industry. For decades, the T&D sector has relied …
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) has been used for decades as an insulator in power plants and electrical transmission and distribution. This gas has excellent dielectric properties, almost three times better than air and nitrogen, and it works well as arc quencher in …
Pressure measurement is all about PSI. That’s because pounds per square inch (PSI) is the most common unit for measuring pressure in the U.S. It’s important to understand what PSI means and how it is used, as pressure measurement is an important part of life in the …
The Industrial Revolution was underpinned by the fortunes of a few dozen financiers, the blood, sweat and tears of millions of factory workers, and a handful of key technical innovations. One of the key inventions of the mid-19 th century was the Bourdon gauge. …
A diaphragm seal is an efficient, affordable solution for those instances in which pressure instrumentation cannot be in direct contact with the process. A flexible diaphragm seal protects pressure transmitters, transducers, gauges, and switches from contact with …
