Hello, Batch processing often requires precise control to ensure consistency and quality across batches. Could you provide your perspective on how fluid handling systems can be optimized to achieve this consistency, particularly for pharma?
Sir, We’d love to hear your expertise on how cavitation affects performance and what methods or design adjustments can effectively prevent it.
I have a Fisher MR95 2″ FNPT x 2″ FNPT I want to control the incoming pressure 450 psig and reduce the outlet pressure to 235psig The regulator has a max 1000 psig inlet and max 600 psig outlet The regulator is set at 230 psig but keeps creeping up to 280 psig and causing my pressure relief valve to...
Hi, We are looking to understand the critical steps in designing fluid handling systems that not only meet our operational demands but also optimize flow rates and reduce energy consumption. Could you share your insights on design approaches or specific techniques that can achieve these outcomes?
As much as your ingredients, final product, and mixing process will affect your needs, they are not the only requirements that need to be considered when designing your mixing tank. It is important to be clear from the very beginning about any other requirements for your tank, such as space limitations or your preference for SS304 or SS316 parts. (Q+A:...

Josh is a Technical Engineer and is an integral member of Industrial Tomography Systems’ talented engineering team. Josh is responsible for creating the many and varied sensor designs required by clients to cover the full gamut of fluid handling applications. When he’s not busy designing bespoke sensors, Josh provides face-to-face technical support for Industrial Tomography Systems’ large domestic and international customer base, where he excels in providing straightforward explanations combined with sound technical advice. Josh graduated from The University of Sheffield with an M.Eng. in Aerospace Engineering which included a 12-month placement at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research – also known as CERN. Industrial Tomography Systems’ range of electrical tomography systems provides the fluid handling fraternity with the ability to monitor any fluidised process through real-time dynamic imaging and data acquisition totally unconstrained by the opaqueness of a pipe or container. Electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) are highly adaptable and versatile technologies that can be used in a raft of different fluid handling applications. This includes novel applications that have yet to be thought of, discovered or utilised. Josh welcomes all questions and enquiries pertaining to electrical tomography and Industrial Tomography Systems’ suite of turnkey and bespoke solutions.
