Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

Distinguishing between pressure sensors can be challenging. The widespread use of synonymous terminologies like transducer, sensor, and transmitter only compounds the issue and makes pressure sensor ...

A complex piece of equipment, the converging-diverging steam jet used in vacuum distillation units is subject to a wide array of malfunctions that are often misunderstood or overlooked by plant ...

Cool idea: NIST’s Daniel Barker, Steve Eckel, Jim Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt and colleagues have developed and tested a technique that uses cold atoms to measure ultralow pressures. (Courtesy: NIST) ...

Researchers develop a new XPS technique enabling surface studies at atmospheric pressure, enhancing real-world chemical reaction understanding.
