                                                              What is sov? Solenoid valve What is a solenoid valve? A Solenoid valve is used wherever fluid flow has to be controlled automatically. They are being used to an increasing degree in the most varied types of plants and equipment. The variety of different designs which are available enables a valve to be selected to specifically suit the application in question. How is a solenoid operated valve being made? THERE ARE 5 MAIN PARAMETERS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A VALVE: Cv media compatibility pressure temperature process fitting Solenoid valve is a control units which, when electrically energized or de-energized, either shut off or allow fluid flow. The actuator takes the form of an electromagnet. When energized, a magnetic field builds up which pulls a plunger or pivoted arma...

                                                         What is safery valve? Safety Valve Safety valves can often be distinguished by the presence of an external lever at the top of the  valve body , which is used as an operational check. As indicated in Below Figure, system pressure provides a force that is attempting to push the disk of the safety valve off its seat. Spring pressure on the stem is forcing the disk onto the seat. At the pressure determined by spring compression, system pressure overcomes spring pressure and the relief valve opens. As system pressure is relieved, the valve closes when spring pressure again overcomes system pressure. Most relief and safety valves open against the force of a compression spring. The pressure setpoint is adjusted by turning the adjusting nuts on top of the yoke to increase or decrease the sp...

                                                What is Pressure Gauge. A pressure gauge is a fluid intensity measurement device. Pressure gauges are required for the set-up and tuning of fluid power machines, and are indispensable in troubleshooting them. Without pressure gauges, fluid power systems would be both unpredictable and unreliable. Gauges help to ensure there are no leaks or pressure changes that could affect the operating condition of the hydraulic system. The hydraulic system is designed to work in a set pressure range so the gauge must be rated for that range. Hydraulic pressure gauges are available to measure up to 10,000 psi, although maximum hydraulic pressure is typically in the 3,000 to 5,000 psi range. Hydraulic gauges are often installed at or near the pump’s pressure port for indication of system pressure, but can be installed anywhere on the mac...

                                    Programmable losic controller(PLC) A Programmable Logic Controller, or PLC, is a ruggedized computer used for industrial automation. These controllers can automate a specific process, machine function, or even an entire production line. How does a PLC work? The PLC receives information from connected sensors or input devices, processes the data, and triggers outputs based on pre-programmed parameters. Depending on the inputs and outputs, a PLC can monitor and record run-time data such as machine productivity or operating temperature, automatically start and stop processes, generate alarms if a machine malfunctions, and more. Programmable Logic Controllers are a flexible and robust control solution, adaptable to almost any application.                                    ...

        what is instrumentation   Instrumentation  is a collective term for  measuring instruments  that are used for indicating, measuring and recording physical quantities. The term has its origins in the art and science of  scientific instrument-making . Instrumentation can refer to devices as simple as direct-reading   thermometers , or as complex as multi-sensor components of   industrial control systems . Today, instruments can be found in laboratories, refineries, factories and vehicles, as well as in everyday household use (e.g.,   smoke detectors   and   thermostats )   Process control of large industrial plants has evolved through many stages. Initially, control would be from panels local to the process plant. However this required a large manpower resource to attend to these dispersed panels, and there was no overall view of the process. The next logical development was the transmission of all plant me...
