Process Instrumentation for the Oil and Gas Drilling Industry

Image
The oil and gas industry of Canada contributed $100 billion to the GDP in 2020. However, the recent decline in production is alarming and calls for an increase in drilling for oil and gas. Energy resources drive economic growth in every economy. For this growth to be sustained, economies need to frequently drill the land looking for energy sources. With technological advancements, efficient drilling instruments have been developed. Here are some of the products that are used in the oil and gas drilling industry. Trash Pump During the drilling process, there is a lot of drilling fluid that needs to be taken care of. Trash pumps are used to drain out the drilling mud full of contaminated water. Trash pumps are usually portable, making them easy to use. Due to their rigorous use in oil and gas drilling procedures, trash pumps are prone to consistent damage. You can prevent the damage by replacing trash pump parts frequently. Trash pumps have different parts, including impellers, vol

Product Focus: Flow and Pressure Measurement

Image
In 2020, Canadian onshore pipelines suffered forty-five accidents . These drilling calamities can be curbed by ensuring frequent flow and pressure measurements. Here's how flow and pressure measurements work.   Flow Measurements: Flow measurements are conducted with a device known as flow meters. These devices are known to measure the flow of drilling fluids . Here are two products that efficiently calculate the flow of any fluid. 1.     Turbine Flow Meter This type of flow meter uses a rotary machine present inside the drilling pipe to measure the volume of liquid or gas. As the fluid passes through the rotating mechanical motor, it calculates the flow speed using sensors. Turbine flow meters are cost-effective, and since they only deal with measuring the flow of fluids, they are accurate too. 2.     Ultrasonic Flow Meter An ultrasonic flow meter uses sound waves to calculate the rate of fluid flowing. Since it uses sound waves, it can be mounted both inside or outsi

3 Common Misconceptions About Overmolded Cable Assemblies

Image
Overmolded cables are used by nearly every industry due to their ability to make cables durable and increase their longevity. However, as is the case with most products that gain traction, scepticism breeds misconceptions and widely believed myths!   More goes into the production of overmolded cables than what meets the eye. Before giving in to the hype or the negativity, here are some common misconceptions that we will address and correct for you. Overmolded Cables Are Very Expensive   As is the case with most high-quality products, you will have to put in more money in the beginning. Compared to generic cable assembly, overmolding cables can cost a bit more, that’s definitely true.   However, many people fail to note the long-term benefits of shelling the extra money in the beginning. Depending on your overmolding material, you can shield your cables from dust and debris, UV harm, strains, and regular wear and tear for much longer, which means no regular replacements. S
