How to Calibrate Level Indicators (A Trick Question)
Patrick McGrath | Know-howCalibration is a best practice for industries that use precision instruments to measure length, mass, temperature, pressure, flow, volume, and more. However, level measurement can't be calibrated because there is not an external reference point. How do you …
Measuring SF6 Density: A Must for Properly Insulated Switchgear
Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsSF 6 is highly effective at insulating switchgears, transducers, and circuit breakers – but only if there is enough of the gas in the equipment. Knowing the density of SF 6 is the best way to make sure gas-filled components are not safety compromised. SF6 …
Two More Things for a Hydropower Plant To-do List: Force Measurement and Instrument Calibration
Ravi Jethra | Calibration, ForceOf course, hydroelectric power plants need to keep an eye on flow, level, temperature, and pressure. But don't forget about force, a key measurement as reservoirs are surrounded by rock and earth. There's also the matter of instrument calibration, an essential aspect …
