And in particular Kfir and Ariel Bibas (now aged 1 and 5), who almost a year later still remain hostage there, together with their parents.

Level instrumentation is required for a new vertical raw material storage tank that is 3 meters in diameter, 10 meters high, and open to the atmosphere. The specific gravity and viscosity of the raw material are 1.00 and 250 cP, respectively. The tank sits on a concrete slab and its top is flat. Which of the following are reasonable calibrations for the new differential pressure level transmitter?

Every chemical plant or refinery must employ accurate process analyses to verify that process conditions and fluid composition are as expected. Performing continuous process analyses allows facilities to maintain ideal efficiency and profitability. The more operators know about the process fluids in their facility, the better they will be able to manage the fluids with proper controls. That is why choosing the right process analyzer is critical to operating a plant successfully.

Specifying exotic materials of construction, such as tantalum, zirconium, Monel or Hastelloy, in an instrument can increase its cost and time-of-delivery significantly. As such, exotic materials of construction are generally perceived to be superior to standard materials and, by inference, instruments that incorporate them are perceived to be superior.
