Load Cells or Flow Meters?
Choosing the right equipment for your application can be difficult. Flow measurement applications are no exception. Though it might seem straight forward to choose flow meters, the answer is not always quite so simple. There is a strong case to be made for measuring based on weight. When deciding between flow meters and load cells for your flow measurement application, there are a number considerations to take into account.
Whether you choose flow meters, load cells, or even level measurement to quantify material going in and out of your tanks, Cross is here to help. We have experts able to help with all of your needs!

The Benefits of Intrinsically Safe Weighing Equipment
Weighing equipment in hazardous areas must not only withstand corrosion and harsh environments, but it must also operate without running the risk of igniting any flammable dust, fibers, or gas that may be present. Intrinsically safe technology offers many benefits and has become the ignition protection method of choice versus flameproof or purged enclosures.
Are Your Pressure Gauges Safe?
Pressure gauges are essential for monitoring pressure in a variety of applications. However, they can fail for a variety of reasons.
For example, did you know vibration can cause the pointer on a pressure gauge to become erratic or inaccurate? Or that pulsating pressure can cause the same problems as vibration, and even damage the internal workings of the gauge? WIKA has put together an excellent article detailing 8 Common Reasons for Pressure Gauge Failure.
