Calibration: Flow Meter Accuracy

Flow meters are the silent workhorse of many industries helping maintain process quality and accurate system performance.   Flow meters measure the rate and total consumption at which fluids flow, this can be in open or closed pipe work. Applications are vast and so are the industries, from oil and gas fiscal meeting to high purity pharmaceuticals production. More common applications can be found in food, chemical processing and the water networks which pump water across the country. Even the most modern sophisticated flow meters can drift from their original accuracy over time. This is where consistent and repeated calibration comes into play.

Application Report: Optimization of Welding and Soldering with Shielding Gas

Metal parts are often joined by welding and soldering processes. The major challenge is to keep the ambient air away from the molten metal, during the welding, to prevent chemical reactions like for instance oxidation. Mass flow controllers are used to set the required gas flow accurately.

Compact Gassing Modules Save Space and Simplify Design of Benchtop Bioreactors

Gas control is critical for maintaining optimal conditions for cell growth in bioreactors. In most stirred bioreactors, gas is controlled through a combination of sparging (sub-surface) and headspace sweeping (super-surface). Gases such as oxygen and nitrogen assist cell culture growth while removal of carbon dioxide prevents toxic buildup.
