A Modular Temperature Sensor Assembly System for the Instrumentation Maintenance Professional

The SENSOR BOX™ is a modular temperature sensor assembly system for the instrumentation maintenance professional. It can be your solution to expediting, high inventory and expensive downtime. One of the challenges in maintaining industrial temperature sensors is the variety. It is difficult for the typical process plant to stock every sensor configuration they might need to replace - until now. By combining common parts into a modular system, a relatively small amount of stock can translate into the variety you need - quickly, and without expediting.

You Have A Problem...
3:00 PM on a Friday afternoon, and you’ve just discovered a temperature sensor has failed in an important process. The Safety Engineer wants the process shut down, but you’re under pressure to keep production moving. You’re going to spend the rest of the afternoon in “Panic Mode,” calling every sensor supplier you can think of, begging for the best delivery at a premium. Not very pretty.

If this sounds familiar, then the SENSOR BOX™ was developed to help improve your life. Maintenance or instrument technicians can now build a new temperature sensor assembly, install it and the plant can be back up and running in minutes rather than days! The SENSOR BOX™ is designed for any plant where temperature sensors are an important part of the operation, and downtime is not an option.

Forberg Can Help
 The SENSOR BOX™ is a rugged toolbox containing all of the parts and tools to quickly and easily build the sensor you urgently need. It is:

• INTRINSICALLY SAFE
• GREATER RELIABILITY
• CORROSION RESISTANT
• SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
• EASE OF INSTALLATION
• REPLACES OUR W&D SERIES PUMP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

William's V-Series Metering Pumps PUMP FEATURES:

1. Stroke Adjuster is made more compact and adjustment is simplified with an internally threaded design. The positive locking device to hold stroke length is readily accessible and easy to operate.
2. The Pneumatic Piston and Fluid Plunger Assembly is guided at both ends on TFE composite bearings ensuring concentric movement of the plunger through the seals.
3. The clearance between the return spring and plunger has been optimized to eliminate any possible contact.
4. A true double sealing arrangement is used so that secondary seal containment is provided.
5. Lubrication has been simplified with the use of synthetic grease. The lubrication chamber is filled once over the life of the seals.
6. The bleeder is equipped with a barbed fitting for plastic tubing so that the fluid bled from the fluid chamber can be collected.
7. Both the discharge and suction check valves have tough TFE composite seats for long life and positive sealing.
8. Threaded port after the secondary seal provides for the indication, collection or containment of any seal leakage.

William's V-Series Metering Pumps OPERATING CYCLE

POWER STROKE: As the CONTROLLER air or gas enters the PNEUMATIC DRIVE CYLINDER, the PISTON-PLUNGER ASSEMBLY is driven down into the FLUID CHAMBER, displacing fluid and compressing the RETURN SPRING. As the plunger displaces the fluid, the rise in pressure closes the SUCTION CHECK VALVE and opens the DISCHARGE CHECK VALVE. A precise amount of fluid, corresponding to the stroke of the plunger, is discharged.
 
SUCTION STROKE: When the air or gas is exhausted from the PNEUMATIC DRIVE CYLINDER the RETURN SPRING forces the PISTON-PLUNGER ASSEMBLY to return to its original position. The drop in pressure in the FLUID CHAMBER caused by the retraction of the piston allows the spring loaded DISCHARGE CHECK VALVE to close and the SUCTION CHECK VALVE to open so that the FLUID CHAMBER is again filled and ready for the power stroke.

Difference between welded and seamless stainless steel tubing?

What is the difference between welded and seamless stainless steel tubing?

Seamless stainless steel tubing is extruded and drawn from a billet.  Welded stainless steel tubing is produced from a strip that is roll formed and welded to produce a tube.

Welded stainless steel tubing is generally less expensive than seamless.  However, seamless stainless steel tubing is preferred for most instrument applications.

There are two main reasons for this:

 

1. Welded stainless steel tubing is considered to be inhomogeneous in the weld area, thus making it less corrosion resistant and giving it different malleability properties than seamless stainless steel tubing.  Recognized standards for the working of the weld area of stainless steel tubing are very open and allow for a wide range of homogeneity in the finished tube.
   
2. By code, the allowable working pressure of welded tubing is 20% less than that of seamless stainless steel tubing.
   

 

 

Forberg Scientific carries a large varietity of stainless steel tubing in both welded and seamless.  We can also provide different types of hard to find exotic material.  Please contact our customer service to receive pricing and lead times.
