    filters technology for aluminum plant casthouse

    I agree... check your flows to the bag filters. I've seen problems like this before and most were attributed to low flows. If you are going to measure flow, RESEARCH the probe types out there... single-points are useless due to non-laminar flows, flow restriction devices (i.e. orifice plate)...

    Flow Control Valve, Delta P calculation question

    Keep in mind, Cv is calculated between 5.0 and 15.0 psid, with the valve full open. What you need is the valve's flow curve at a specific delta P. The manuf. should have the curve (with hysteresis) at a specific differential pressure. Honestly, the best thing to do is test the valve yourself...

    CEM, emission control

    umm... "CEM" means Continuous Emissions Monitoring, does it not? Best regards, Lakeshore

    CEM, emission control

    Check out Air Monitor Corporation's website... www.airmonitor.com (I think). Best regards, Lakeshore Tech

    valve orientations

    Agreeing with most... orientation does not matter. Fhasan is correct in requesting an explanation of "overhaul." The biggest culprit I have found is poor actuator performance. What type of actuator are you using? Best regards, Lakeshore Tech

    SY50 Scotch Yoke Gear Operator

    Why would you replace an inferior actuator with another? I assume you actually want some repeatable control, low maintenance costs, and dependability?

    Estimating Nitrogen flow from a resevoir(buffer)

    You need to actually measure the flow rate, not estimate it. I assume this is for a burner integrated into a boiler, or another process? There are many devices out there that will help you...

    Valve Dimensions

    Thanks for the help... already looked there. Maybe its me, but I cannot find specific valve dimension data, can you? If so, please tell me where. Thanks for the help.

    Valve Actuator

    Can someone please direct me to a manufacturer of an accurate & robust modulating valve actuator? Valves are rotary and linear, sizes are >2" and stroke is >5". Thanks in advance! Dave[2thumbsup]

    Valve Dimensions

    Does anyone know of a good source to obtain specific Fisher valve dimensions? I need accurate dimensions to determine the mounting dimensions of electraulic actuators I am looking to install. Any and all information is greatly appreciated.[bigcheeks] Thank you! Dave

    CV valve definition

    The process of determining the Cv value of a valve is quite impoortant... temp. must remain constant, valve should be tested between 5-15 psid, etc. The Cv value is, to my belief, useless as a tool beyond a convenient number to compare valves. Check into ISA standards, ISA-S75.02. Take care

    Valve dimensions

    Does anyone have information regarding the dimensions of Fisher valves? I can't find anything, anywhere! THANK YOU!!! :-D

    Process

    Can anyone please direct me towards a good source(s) to learn about the paper production process. I need detail, not general descriptions. Thank you!

    Operation

    Can anyone please direct me to a good source(s) to learn about the petroleum refining process? I would like details of the actual layout of a system. Thanks!

    Material to slide on Stainless Steel

    Are you confident that the actuator you are using to move the slab gate isn't causing the "jerking"?
