Air Flow Meters to Measure Air Velocity and Air Pressure
Air flow meters are used to measure air velocity and air pressure. Depending on the type of application, air flow meters are made as hot-wire air flow meters or pocket weather flow meters, both of which can measure air velocity and air pressure. The results of measuring the air velocity can be stored in the memory of the device depending on the model. There are even data loggers for air velocity ...

Prosperity Years 1951-1953 - Part 4 Teledyne Hastings History
The early part of the 1950’s was prosperous for Hastings due in part to the demand for the Raydist and large military contracts as a result of the Korean War. Sales nearly tripled between 1950 and 1953 and there were almost 200 employees. Hastings had outgrown its space yet again and expanded to a 14,000 square foot building on Newcomb Avenue (current day location for Teledyne Hastings). ...

This is why you should care about your compressed air efficiency
Efficiency is key in business. Whether it be time, money or energy: you would like to spend it in the most efficient way. The same goes for compressed air. It is essential to the production process of many factories, whether they are in glass production, food&beverage manufacturing or textile. Even so, not all companies are fully aware of the efficiency of their compressed air system. ...

Improve air sampling by measuring mass flow
How can contaminant concentration be stated unless the sample mass is known? The answer: it can’t. Without an accurate measure of the mass of air collected as a sample, the relative concentration of a contaminant—whether it be chemical or particulate—cannot be stated as a part per million, billion, or trillion. Even for sampling applications where the contamination is expressed ...

Soil Air Permeability: Threshold Gradient and Anisotropy
In this study, a triaxial confinement chamber and mass flow meter were used to measure the air permeability of compacted clayey sand specimens. Specimens were extracted at different angles with respect to the vertical direction to measure the anisotropy. The soil was compacted at high water contents below the optimum.At lower gradients, deviations from Darcy´s law were observed. Threshold ...

Advanced Enviro - Septic™ Wastewater Treatment System Septic Tank Effluent Filters and Charco al (Odor) Filters NOT Recommended
Abstract: Effluent filters are installed in the outlet from the septic tank with the intended purpose of retaining solids inside the tank, preventing them from entering the treatment system and/or dispersal field. The concern is that if solids escape from the septic tank, they could cause clogging of the system components or the soil interface. While this may be a legitimate concern for some ...

The importance of flow
In life, it is all about flow and balance. When you are in flow, you loose track of time and you are feeling at optimum levels of productivity. This is also true for compressed air systems, when using a flow meter. Recently, we participated in two very cool projects that involved flow-based compressor sequencers. Flow based? Yes, partially. Of course, pressure is still controlled in ...
