On our expert blog we publish in-depth articles on our expertises: vibration, speed and SIL.
Vibration measurement and condition monitoring on bearings
How do vibrations affect measurements on bearings of rotating machinery? Vibration measurements are carried out on machines with rotating parts. These include steam turbines, gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, fans, pumps,…
Case: custom temperature sensor that is resistant to vibrations
How do vibrations affect temperature measurements? Before we describe the case, we will first explain the effect vibrations can have on temperature measurements. Whether the vibrations are constant or sometimes…
New temperature sensor catalogue available
Istec is proud to present the new detailed temperature sensor catalogue. In this catalogue you will find a good overview of temperature sensors, 2-wire transmitters, signal conditioners and test/calibration equipment.…
Application note: Reciproke Compressor
This application note shows Metrix’ solutions for possible issues or problems that occur in reciprocating compressors. A reciprocating compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft…
Contactless detection of flow/no flow with the SWR FlowJam
The SWR FlowJam is a microwave sensor used for contactless detection of flow/no flow. The system detects different types of flow distinguishing flow, blockage and stagnation. Check out the product…
Vibration measurements in practice: misalignment of low-pressure pump
In this project, a client is questioning whether the vibration sensors of the low-pressure pump are transmitting accurate values. Doubts about the performance of these sensors arose because the sensors…
