How Does an Instrumentation Pressure Regulator Work?
Firstly we should be clear that this article relates to precision instrumentation pressure reducing regulators with a poppet style control valve. Whilst cylinder regulators fall within this description other industrial styles such as globe valves or sliding gate valves do not... to continue reading this article please follow the link.
SuperCritical Carbon Dioxide Pressure Control with Equilibar Back Pressure Regulators
Supercritical CO² is very much at the heart of ever-increasing research into green technologies and highly efficient pressure control is pivotal to its’ success. SCO² has fluid properties that are rather unique in that it behaves as neither a gas nor a liquid whilst also having very useful thermal properties. Areas of research therefore include its use as a “green solvent” as it has... To continue reading please follow the link.
Drastar Pressure Regulators: Exceed in Safety and Long-Term Quality
There are several types of pressure regulator available across the global market, however, not all are created equal. What is it that makes our Drastar range different?
The answer can be found under two main headings: (a) Safety and (b) Long Term Quality. Continue reading this application article by following the link.
How To Choose the Correct Peristaltic Pump in Four Steps
We summarise in four steps the considerations in choosing the correct configuration of peristaltic pump for your application.
CODA Coriolis Instruments Push The Boundaries Of Science
As a world leader within process control instrumentation Alicat Scientific are always pushing at the boundaries of science and driving the market for innovative flow solutions. One such product is “the final word” in Coriolis instrumentation. The CODA series includes Flow Meters and Flow Controllers with the latter utilising either a proportional control valve or a directly controlled pump. They can handle liquids or gases, high pressures, corrosive media and Super-critical fluids. In addition, however, there are three main reasons why engineers and scientists are choosing CODA.
Control the flow rate of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) injection into drink mixtures
A customer enquired whether a Coriolis mass flow controller would be suitable to assist in the controlling the flow rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into drink mixtures. We would like to describe here why the CODA Flow Controller is an excellent product for this process. Read our article for a full description of this enquiry.
What Is The Point Of An Accuracy Statement
Manufacturers provide datasheets or specification sheets for the flow measuring devices they supply and whilst all are created with the best of intensions, they are sometimes difficult to decipher and almost always difficult to compare. In an ideal world there would be a standard method for declaring “accuracy” however in reality this is not always possible. So, in the case of Alicat mass flow meters and controllers - what is accuracy?
Bioreactor CO2 and O2 flow control using Spargers
Numerous bioreactor components and features are critical for process optimization, including impellers for gentle mixing, baffling, spargers for gas introduction and the bioreactor shape. Here we focus on gas flow control in tandem with the use of spargers within bioreactors and discuss both technological challenges they face and possible solutions.
Handheld Laboratory Flow Meters
Portable gas flow meters make GC checks, calibrations and audits fast and easy. They fulfil a number of lab measuring functions all within the one device!
Core Analysis Back Pressure Regulator
Core analysis on rock samples are easy with the Equilibar Zero-Flow Back Pressure Regulator. This series of pressure regulator is specially designed to address the challenging requirements of the reservoir testing industry.
