  • 3P Innovation - compression blister filler
    Compression Blister Filler System

    Forming part of 3P innovation’s Discover Range, this early-stage development unit uses two sets of die punches to compress pellets and seal them within a blister strip. Used predominantly for dry powder inhalers (DPIs), the ultra-compact filler fits on your lab benchtop.

  • PTXM1069
    Broadband Microwave Power Module: PTXM1069

    The PTXM1069 is an ultra compact modular microwave power module with an integrated “Super Mini” travelling wave tube (TWT), a solid state preamplifier, and an optimized high-density switch mode power supply to produce a single “drop-in” microwave amplifier block.

  • SpillSens
    SpillSens

    SpillSens is a low-cost, multi-alarm digital float sensor designed to act as an early warning system for blockages and sewer overflows. ATEX-approved and built to withstand harsh sewer environments, SpillSens uses digital positioning technology to monitor rising levels in the wastewater network. Connected to an advanced data logger with integral telemetry, alert messages are transmitted to a dedicated user portal.

    SpillSens is a simple-to-install, robust, and cost-effective solution for long-term level monitoring in wastewater networks.

ABOUT

Instrumentation
The science of measuring and controlling variables is termed instrumentation. As the name suggests, the process involves using a wide variety of instruments. These are classified as any device that can measure amounts that are physically quantifiable. These instruments do not have to be extremely complex in design. For example, the ruler is an instrument to measure distance, and a simple thermometer measures temperature.
Instruments specific to petrochemical processing include platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s), P/I Converters, many types of level meters, chromatographs, and continuous gas analyzers. These instruments are essential to the day to day instrumentation at petrochemical plants, as it is impossible to gauge to the necessary extent by estimation alone. Human error is inevitable, but an instrument can easily be calibrated or replaced.
Now that you understand the definition of and tools used in instrumentation, you should also understand the necessity of it. Temperature and pressure meters serve to ensure that the environment stays safe for both the chemicals being processed and the employees of the plant. Heat is a very well-documented activator in chemical reactions. If the temperature rises to unusual levels, this could spark an undesired chemical reaction that could prove catastrophic. The flow meter must measure how much oil is leaving the refinery, as it is a very volatile substance. Analytical instruments, such as the chromatograph, analyze the chemical make-up of the refined oil. This allows for the opportunity to make sure that the chemical make-up is correct, giving evidence that the process was correctly completed at all stages of refinement.
