Using instruments with Advanced Diagnostics is one of the three main strategies I commonly present to achieve process control and instrumentation reliability. There is a lot of diagnostic information available about your process that is not currently being captured. Accessing it allows you to fully develop a Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program for your process. […]
One of the strategies I recommend to improve process reliability is the use of product tiers. Manufacturers of instruments have various tiers which should be applied with a specifically defined strategy. I have presented these tiers as premium, core and conventional. Premium tier products should be used in critical applications which are […]
Transient protection is one of the biggest challenges to instrumentation. Lightning strikes, power surges and even static dissipation can cause significant damage to an instrument. This is especially true for instruments that are outside and in remote areas like radar level and well-head
Pump reliability is one of the biggest rotating equipment challenges in a process plant. There are literally hundreds of pumps to monitor and maintain. There are three strategies which can be implemented to improve punp reliability, which will be explored here. These are redundant/spare equipment, transmitters with advanced diagnostics and
Since the invention of pressure transmitters, manufacturers have sought to improve their performance. This includes accuracy, repeatability, speed of response and long-term stability. As design methods and raw material supply has improved, all of these characteristics have improved as well. While the first three are important considerations, they only address the performance of your […]
