On our expert blog we publish in-depth articles on our expertises: vibration, speed and SIL.
Rapid detection of filter damage with the dust detector ‘Dusty’
The Dusty dust detector is designed for rapid detection of dust particles after a filtration process and is installed in metal pipes where dust particles in the gas need to…
How do you determine the right temperature measurement instrument?
In many industries and applications, temperature measurements are the primary parameter for controlling processes. Temperature plays a crucial role, affecting efficiency (and thus financial results), safety, and quality. While measuring…
Continuous measurement of dust concentration reduces the risk of dust explosion
The AirSafe from Envea (formerly SWR) is a measurement instrument designed to monitor dust concentration in ambient air. Envea’s tribo-electric sensor technology has proven its reliability in thousands of applications…
Infographic: Which Vibration Monitoring Strategy fits my machine?
When it has been decided to start a machine condition monitoring program on a machine to start a predictive maintenance strategy, it appears that there a various possibilities how this can…
Who is responsible for process safety in a factory?
To ensure process safety in a factory, protective layers are used; risk-reducing measures. These protective layers can be related to people, the process, or the plant (and machinery). The greater…
How employee safety is influenced by corporate culture
The management of a company is always ultimately responsible for the safety of its employees. In the process industry, it is crucial to pay close attention to safety assurance, as…
How to determine the critical frequencies of rotating machinery
When a rotating machine reaches its resonant frequency, it can lead to severe damage to the machine (and the plant), injury to employees, and massive financial consequences. This must be…
How to test an overspeed monitoring system of a turbine
A turbine is designed to reach a maximum number of revolutions per minute (rpm), where the blades of the turbine can achieve enormous speeds. This limit must not be exceeded,…
What are the differences between Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and Performance Level (PL)?
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) SIL stands for Safety Integrity Level (EN-IEC 62061) and is a part of Functional Safety. SIL is a method to assess electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic…
