  • Versatile CCIT1 for a wide range of applications

    The SpeedAir 3050 is your all-in-one solution for nonporous pharmaceutical applications. Whether your products are flexible or rigid, liquid or solid, the SpeedAir 3050 can swiftly and accurately test them all. With testing times as short as 30-45 seconds, it delivers results you can rely on, ensuring the integrity of your pharmaceutical containers.

  • The H-840 hexapod series is universally applicable for tasks in precision positioning. Some variants are optimized for high dynamics and can for example, be used for simulating motion whereas models with gearhead support are suitable for heavier loads.

  • The pioneering cap crimping with adjustable rotation speeds offers the highest technical standard and highest Syntegon quality. The already proven, low-particle cap crimping system swivels for each container a rotary crimping disc against the beaded rim. All machine settings can be reproduced and thus the processes can be validated. The VRK series stands for safe pharmaceutical production and convinces by simple handling and high efficiency.

  • The R&S® MXO 4 series is the first of a new generation of oscilloscopes that excels in both performance and value. The instruments deliver a once-in-a-decade engineering breakthrough for accelerated insight.

  • The Model KMW1020 is an RF power amplifier module for OEM applications or integration into a user system comprised of a printed wiring assembly housed in a machined aluminum enclosure.

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.
