Maintaining a proper lubrication oil system on maritime vessels is critical to reduce friction on moving parts and avoid overheating. Each ship is different, so that lubrication systems may include any combination of controllers, valves, coolers, transmitters and pumps. No matter what equipment the lubrication oil system contains, it relies on temperature sensors or transducers …
One of the world’s leading research universities used a portable, real-time air monitoring system as part of an ongoing study into the impacts of household air pollution when switching from biomass to gas stoves. With the study taking place in rural Peru, the ultra-portability of the system allowed researchers to overcome challenges related to access …
Pressure gauges are used throughout the gas industry for testing and calibrating various instruments. These gauges require periodic calibration to assure their accuracy. Regulatory authorities require routine testing and/or audits of gas systems, which can entail fines for non-compliance. By choosing XP2i digital pressure gauges from Crystal Engineering, costly fines can be prevented with the …

Calibration of “impossible” Temperature Sensors Made Easier Read More »
As a trusted calibration and service partner we often get questions about our calibration and repair process. This prompted us to put together an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) Instructions page with answers to some frequently asked questions. I’ve compiled these thoughts here to hopefully make the process clear and easy to follow. First Steps The …
Sensors: Welded Sensor: It’s not generally possible to tell whether a sensor is fully welded by looking at the gauge, so check with the manufacturer. Non-welded sensors use o-rings or even thread tape inside the gauge. O-rings can degrade, and both o-rings and thread tape have the potential for leaks. Moisture: If the specification warns …
A local peaking power plant with four combustion turbines was looking to replace some older pressure calibrators for their instrumentation and control technicians. These instruments would calibrate gauges, sensors, and transmitters for parameters such as steam pressure, differential pressures for level and flow, fuel pressures and more. The team was looking to replace basic pressure …
