Fluke is customising a package of instruments and HowTo guides for the chemical industry.
There are individual packages for maintenance personnel, reliability engineers, instrument technicians, and electrical and mechanical engineers. The guides cover areas like preventive maintenance, safety and power quality.
Accurate metrology is central to improving chemical processes, says Fluke, and manufacturers need to continually inspect their processes to know that they are running smoothly.
The company suggests that every stage needs attention: from pre-treating raw materials, converting them with a reactor, cracker or kiln, to mixing and purification.
Fluke adds that with huge throughputs at chemicals facilities, inaccurate measurements can cost millions – and downtime is particularly costly. As a result, the company believes a good understanding of the most suitable metrology methods is required.
