TRANSCRIPT
T500 Electropneumatic Transducer (I/P, E/P)Economical and reliable electrical conversion to pressure
The ControlAir Type-500X converts a current or voltage input signal to a linearly proportional pneumatic output pressure. This versatile instrument is designed for control applications that require a high degree of reliability and repeatability at an economical cost.
The Type-500X is available in two different versions. The lower range model is designed for standard process control applications which typically utilize a 3 to 15 psig output. The extended range unit provides up to 145 psig output for higher pressure industrial pneumatic and process control system requirements.

Electro-pneumatic transducers convert current or voltage input signals to proportional output pressures. They are used as process control elements in valves, pneumatic relays, and flow regulators for applications such as spray and damper control. There are three basic types of electro-pneumatic transducers: voltage-to-pressure (E/P), current-to-pressure (I/P), and digital-to-pressure (D/P). Voltage-to-pressure devices offer finite control ranges such as 0 – 5 V or 0 – 10 V. Current-to-pressure devices provide current loop control and signal ranges such as 4 – 20 mA or 0 – 20 mA. Digital-to-pressure devices use either serial or parallel controls. Commonly used serial controls include RS232 and RS485. Examples of parallel protocols include general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) and IEEE 488. Specialized inputs such as transistor-transistor logic (TTL) are also available.
There are several performance specifications and features for electro-pneumatic transducers. Performance specifications include output pressure, maximum air volume, maximum supply pressure, and operating temperature. Some devices can accommodate connections with national pipe thread (NPT) measurements of 1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, or 2”. Other devices fit pipes with unified course threads (UNC) or unified national fine (UNF) standards. Electro-pneumatic transducers with British standard pipe thread (BSPT) and metric threads are also available. In terms of features, electro-pneumatic transducers often provide analog or digital gauges for pressure readings. Outdoor rated devices include seals and other materials that can withstand a variety of weather conditions. Explosion proof, corrosion resistant, and sanitary devices are also available.
Body materials for electro-pneumatic transducers include aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, steel, stainless steel, zinc, and plastic. Aluminum, a metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, is resistant to oxidation. Brass provides good strength and conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature ductility, and low magnetic permeability. Bronze is a porous material that can be impregnated with oil, graphite, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The term “cast iron” refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Steel, a commercial iron that contains carbon, is malleable under suitable conditions. Stainless

LCC - calculator - Free LCC - calculator [email protected] lccWare - Life cycle costing is a methodology for calculating the whole cost of a system from inception to disposal. The system will vary from industry to industry and could for instance be a building, a ship, a weapon system or a power station. Whatever the system, the life cycle costing technique will be the same, the major items of cost will be defined through its life. These items could include research and development, construction, operation and maintenance and disposal. The items may be further subdivided until the cost of each element can be defined as a mathematical equation. At a simple level this may be the number of man-hours multiplied by a cost rate. The elements of cost will then be added together to give the total cost for each item and a grand total for the system through its full life. As the project develops you will want to alter your life cycle cost analysis model accordingly and you will also want to carry out sensitivity studies and cost trade off studies. Each of these will be require a recalculation of the model. lccWare gives you the power to create and develop a life cycle cost model in a familiar interactive visual environment. lccWare also provides you with professional quality reports.

SPAR - Clockwork Group employs its proprietary SPAR predictive modeling technology to reduce asset ownership cost.
SPAR - SPAR offers a method and tool for describing the fixed and the variable characteristics of a system, together with its operational and logistical environments, in one integrated model. SPAR uses this model to predict the system's performance and cost, addressing variable factors such as: The structure of the system, including redundancy and reconfiguration The objective of the system, such as throughput, availability, or safety targets System operating policies System component characteristics, such as initial age, aging rate, and repair time External conditions, such as weather or power loss Spare part stocking policies, including supplier lead time and part cost Preventive maintenance schedules - resources required and their effect on the system availability Through simulation, SPAR establishes a relationship between these factors and the system's overall performance. A SPAR simulation provides a prediction of a system's performance over time, the cost of achieving that performance, and the sensitivity of system performance to the variable factors affecting it.

Pressure gauges are instruments that are designed to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid. Pressure gauges monitor and indicate the internal pressure and/or the vacuum of vessels or systems, especially those having dynamic working characteristics that require constant monitoring. Standard pressure gauges typically utilize a Bourdon tube, a sensing element for measuring pressures 15 psi or more. Bourdon tubes are spirally wound or C-shaped and are usually made of stainless steel or copper alloy. When a pressure change occurs, the pressure gauges flex and produce a rotational movement, causing the gauge indicator to move. A diaphragm
seal or gauge isolator can be used to prevent the Bourdon tube from coming into contact with the process material, if the tube and material are not compatible.
Pressure gauges vary in style, size and wetted parts material, depending on the application. Display types include graphical and video displays, digital readouts or analog meters and needles. The scale of an analog pressure gauge can display one or two units on the same face (e.g. psi, kPa, Bar, inches Hg, cm Hg). Some pressure gauges have pointers that can be adjusted to zero by turning a screw or a knob. Adjustable or stationary set hands are separate pointers that indicate a preset pressure. Some pressure gauges do not display a measure of pressure. Instead, they monitor pressure and send an electronic output signal for any required changes in the system. Throttling devices, which are used to decrease the effects of pressure pulsation and/or vibration on pointer movement, include throttling screws, pulsation dampeners, elastomeric bladders, pressure snubbers and needle valves. Pressure gauges can also be equipped with electric contacts to turn on signal lights, sound alarms or operate a pump or valve.
There pressure gauges have a wide variety of industrial applications in which the pressure gauges are utilized. Specialty tanks, such as fire extinguishers and medical gas cylinders use pressure gauges. Liquid filled gauges are utilized in nitrous systems on nitrous bottles or solenoids. Gauges made of stainless steel can be used in applications that have strict sanitary requirements and are capable of withstanding high pressure cleaning. Some pressure gauges are specifically designed for use in high purity semiconductor gas and liquid applications with a range from vacuum to 6,000 psig. Pressure gauges are essential for applications in which the accurate functioning of a vessel or system directly depends on the accuracy of the gauge reading, such as in pesticide sprayers.
