Corrosion in the Chemical Industry: From Inspection to Continuous Insight

Jim Cahill — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 07:00:52 GMT

Inline corrosion is driven by aggressive chemistry, temperature, pressure, flow effects, and phase changes that can rapidly shift operating conditions. The financial impact goes well beyond replacement cost, with unplanned downtime, environmental consequences, and safety risks often representing the largest exposure.

For Accurate pH Measurement, Keep it Clean

Jim Cahill — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:00:29 GMT

One common type of commercial running on TV today is for new types of non-stick pots and pans. They go to great lengths to prove that whatever you cook, it slides right out and you never have to scrape the bottom. Many industrial applications also have to solve sticking issues, especially for liquid analysis, such […]

Strong Chemical Resistance Without PFAS—Why Rosemount Magmeters Now Use PEX for Sensor Liners

Jim Cahill — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:00:30 GMT

Those of us who work on customer applications routinely get spec requests that some device we’re supplying must withstand any number of extremely aggressive products. The frequent go-to solution is a fluoropolymer such as PTFE, PVDF, or similar since these have exceptionally wide chemical resistance. Unfortunately, fluoropolymers come with a dangerous downside: PFAS, or as […]

Reducing Chemical Over‑Injection and CapEx Through Control‑Grade Injection Strategies

Jim Cahill — Wed, 06 May 2026 13:00:48 GMT

In upstream Oil & Gas operations, chemical injection is one of those critical processes that rarely gets much attention—until something goes wrong. Corrosion, scale formation, and flow assurance issues can quickly turn into costly production disruptions, safety risks, and unplanned maintenance. As a result, many operators take a conservative approach: inject more chemical than necessary […]

Turning Flow Data into Operational Advantage: Inside the Micro Motion™︎ Coriolis Transmitter Portfolio

Jim Cahill — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 13:00:49 GMT

Across industries—from chemical and energy to life sciences—operators are being asked to do more with less. Processes must run reliably, systems must integrate smoothly, and regulatory expectations continue to rise. At the same time, traditional approaches to flow measurement verification often introduce downtime, site visits, and uncertainty that teams can’t afford. As product managers for […]

Measuring an Unseen Danger: Real-Time Corrosion Monitoring Warns of Metal Loss, Before it’s Too Late

Jim Cahill — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 15:00:14 GMT

Owners and restorers of old cars know that blistering paint on a door or fender is a tell-tale sign that rust has penetrated through the metal and a hole will soon form. Industrial maintenance teams also look for signs of corrosion, but often they aren’t visible until it’s too late. There are various ways to […]
