Sustainability is More Than Just a Word – It’s a Practice
What happens when we merge our facility’s data, internal expertise, and knowledge with industry standards and best practices? The effect is informed decision-making at the highest level. Every entity strives to reduce risk and make the most informed asset and facility decisions. With a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) strategy, decisions become more dependable, and risk is mitigated on a higher level.

CAPPA Tech Tips—Annual Steam Outage
There are likely several hundred or more on your campus, but are they properly sized? Pressure gauges typically have the specified isolation valve (or trumpet valve), snubber, or pig tail. Proper sizing can present serious issues when miscalculated. The accuracy of the gauge is not always what is shown on the gauge face. Most bourdon tube mechanical pressure gauges are accurate between 1/4 and 7/8 of the gauge range. It is not a linear relationship. For example, the gauge shown to the right would be most accurate between 15 psi and 52.5 psi.
