Change the Way You Spray to Minimize Clogging
|
| Company: | Spraying Systems, Co. |
| Spray nozzles appear to be simple devices, but in service they function as highly precise instruments. A spray system that is not working optimally can very quickly cost your operation tens – even hundreds – of thousands of dollars annually. When nozzles become partially blocked, spraying efficiency is degraded and your process can be compromised. |

More Than Just Hot Air
|
| From a spill dating back to the 1970s, Togiak Fisheries was faced with 70,000 tons of diesel- and gasoline-contaminated soil on the shores of Togiak Bay, Alaska. The remote fish-processing facility wanted to sell, but the plant was stuck with the price tag of $12 million to clean up the contaminated site. The cost was overwhelming, yet so were the challenges that go into cleaning a 5-acre site this remote. |

Calibration Primer - an OMEGA® White Paper
|
| Company: | Omega Engineering, Inc. |
| The most sophisticated industrial equipment will not be very useful unless it is calibrated. Through calibration, adjustments made to a piece of equipment ensure that it performs as expected—that it can be relied on to deliver predictable, accurate results that meet quality standards. This white paper from Omega Engineering explains what calibration is, why it is important, and how it works. NIST traceability is defined and discussed, and there is a step-by-step description of a basic calibration. This paper also discusses in-house vs. laboratory calibration, and it describes major types of calibration devices.
