Flowmeters help university save over $1.25M in billings.

The Virginia Commonwealth University was under billing for steam by over $125 Million annually.  The campus steam plant was using old steam and condensate meters to monitor usage, and most buildings lacked long steam-pipe runs required for many kinds of flowmeters.  Read about the solution they implemented to decrease losses from 16% to 5%.

Measuring temperature by direct contact (1st part of 2 part series).

Temperature is arguably the most important parameters in measurement technology.  This article covers typical contacting methods for industrial processing and control including various types of thermocouples. A second article to appear subsequently will cover non-contacting methods such as radiation thermometers.  >>Read more
