Measuring Instruments Measurement of process parameters is an important aspect for the control of a process. Examples of the process parameters which are to be measured for control are pressure, temperature, flow, mass, length, and level etc. Measurement is the process by which one can convert physical parameters to meaningful numbers. It is the process …
Read MoreData Analysis Techniques Every organization collects a large volume of data during its day-to-day operation. This data is of little use till it is organized, and analyzed to extract useful information from it. Data analysis technique constitutes the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about the information contained in the …
Read MoreAutomation and Control in Wire Rod Mill Steel wire rods are the key product of steel industry and have multiple uses. They are used as the material for fasteners, springs, bearings, wire ropes, chains, cables, wire meshes, wire fencings, tyre cord, reinforcement in railway sleepers, and several other uses. They are used for the components …
Read MoreMonel Alloys Monel are a group of alloys of nickel (from 52 % to 67 %) and copper, with small quantities of iron, manganese, carbon, and silicon. Monel alloys are also known as Monel metal. Monel alloys are not cupro-nickel alloys since they have less than 60 % copper. Monel was created in 1905 by Robert Crooks Stanley, who at that time worked at …

Read MoreAutomation and Control System of Reheating Furnaces The reheating furnace is one of the key equipments in a hot rolling mill. It also consumes the majority of energy needed for the rolling of steel. The reheating furnace is normally used to heat the steel stock (billets, blooms, or slabs etc.) to the rolling temperatures which are …
Read MoreValves – Their Components, Classification, and Functions Fluid power is controlled primarily through the use of control devices called valves. Valves are integral components in piping systems. In addition to the function of ‘conducting the fluid medium’, they are the primary method of controlling the flow, pressure, and direction of the fluid. They can be …
Read MoreTerms used in Statistical Analysis Statistics is the scientific discipline which provides methods to help the people to make sense of the data. It is the science of learning from data. It is a set of methods used to analyze data. One of the goals with statistics is to extract information from data to get …
Read MoreCharacteristic Features of Rotary Kilns A rotary kiln is a cylinder which rotates around its cylindrical axis and acts as a device to exchange heat. The kiln is for high temperature applications where it is necessary to change the ‘state’ of the material in a continuous process or in a batch type process. The construction, …
