Keeping equipment in good working order is instrumental to maximizing efficiency. There are many ways to keep a machine running well, but one approach stands out from the rest: condition-based maintenance. Condition-based maintenance is a set of techniques that monitor a machine's condition and use the data to develop an appropriate maintenance plan.
Natural gas can travel through thousands of miles of pipeline. In order to avoid pressure reductions and the resulting slowdowns caused by distance, friction, and elevation, natural gas must be pressurized. Compressors placed at key intervals keep the natural gas moving evenly and reliably. These compressors are generally grouped in stations, which are strategically located along the pipeline networks that transport and store the gas.
A typical compressor station consists of an inlet scrubber to collect liquids and slugs that may have formed in the gas pipeline. These compressor scrubbers have a primary section where liquids and solid parts are separated from the gas stream, and a secondary section where oil mist is removed.

You might think that industrial vibration sensors are just another piece of tech. But in fact, they're an incredibly valuable tool for keeping your facility's machinery running smoothly and safely.
Wireless vibration monitoring is an ideal solution for the manufacturing industry. It allows you to monitor the vibration of your machinery and equipment in real-time, allowing you to identify issues before they become problems.
Many industrial conditions require the safe and accurate measurement of the mass flow rate of gases. If you are wondering, “what is a thermal mass flow meter?” you have come to the right place. In this guide, we explain the working principles, features, applications, and benefits of thermal mass flow meters.
If you are looking for a flow meter that directly measures the mass flow rate with high accuracy while simultaneously measuring density, temperature, volumetric flow rate, and concentration. You will be looking at the Coriolis Flow Meter. In this guide, we cover the working principles, features, applications, and benefits of coriolis flow meters.
There are many industrial applications that require long-term installations of reliable and accurate flow meters. If this describes your setting and you are looking to measure the flow rate of liquid, gas, or steam, consider the vortex flow meter. This guide covers the definition, operating principles, features, applications, and benefits of vortex flow meters.
Controlling the world’s water resources is arguably one of the most critical issues. Water demand from industry and domestic users is set to rise throughout the industrialized world, while water supplies are finite. Legislation constantly demands improvements in potable water quality and reduces the contaminants that may be discharged. Wastewater treatment is one way to get water back. Wastewater is subjected to various treatments in wastewater treatment plants, each intended to remove contaminants and other hazardous substances from the water. The objective is to create water from sewage that is safe to discharge into waterways and won’t endanger the environment or human health. Over the last few years, Yokogawa has been applying minimized maintenance measurement systems to an industry that, more than ever, is concerned with condition-based maintenance and the integrity of the measured variable.

If you are looking for a flow meter that provides easy readings of flow rate, consider the variable area flow meter. This device measures liquids, steam, and gas in a variety of conditions and environments. In this guide, we define variable area flow meters, along with the working principle, features, application, and benefits.
Process industries require level controls to monitor and evaluate the amount of material in vessels. Although, there are many different level measurement offerings, including level switches, density level measurement, displacer level measurement, point level measurement, magnetic level indicators, and continuous level measurement. This guide covers non-contact radar level measurement and devices.
