Differential pressure in pharmaceuticals helps to prevent contamination and cross-contamination. A Magnehelic gauge device is used to measure the pressure difference between the two adjacent sections. The gauge has two inlets point for the pressure that is connected to the area being monitored. Differential pressure is the pressure that differentiates between the pressure of the atmosphere of … Read more
Rotameter is a safe, easy, and reasonably priced flow measurement tool. The flow rate of a liquid or a gas is thus measured with this equipment. This meter has a tapered tube that passes through a floating internal component. Rotameters are also known by the names Gravity flow meters, Mechanical flow meters, and Variable area … Read more
The pitot tube is commonly used to measure the rate of liquid flow (Speed, Velocity)/ velocity head. it is also called a differential pressure measuring device. Principle of Pitot Tube It measures the velocity at one point only. it is based on the principle of Bernoulli’s theorem. When it is inserted into the center of … Read more
A Venturi meter is used to measure the rate of flow of liquid (speed, and velocity) in a pipe. Here we will discuss about Venturi flow meter Principle, Flow diagram, construction, Working, advantages, Disadvantages, and Principle. Principle of Venturi Flow Meter: Venturi Flow meter is based on the principle of Bernoulli’s theorem. It consists of … Read more
In the pharmaceutical industry, Engineering & Utility equipment is very essential components of manufacturing drugs. Pharmaceutical manufacturing in the production area requires technical equipment to produce drugs. The pharmaceutical manufacturing process controls various parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate.

Both humidity and relative humidity refer to the amount of water vapour in the air, however, they are not the same. Humidity is the absolute amount of water vapour in the air, whereas relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air in comparison to the maximum amount of water vapour the air might … Read more
The term HEPA means “High-efficiency Particulate Air,” sometimes called “High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance,” and what that basically means is that it’s a special kind of filter that captures microscopic particles. A HEPA filter removes particles like dirt, pollen, spores, pet dander, bacteria, smoke, and particulates that come from outdoor pollution. Types of HEPA Filters? Another issue … Read more
Air is one of the major sources of contamination for pharmaceutical products. That is why the design, monitoring, and maintenance of the AHU (Air Handling Unit) are essential to increase its efficiency and capacity as per GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). Important tips are given here to follow good practices for an Air Handling Unit. Tips … Read more
User requirement specification (URS) is a list of all the equipment-related requirements from the user, The list shall be prepared based on the types of equipment to be purchased. After the preparation of the list, the URS documents are sent to the manufacturer to get the required materials as per the given criteria. The user department … Read more
In the pharmaceutical industry, it’s essential to have sufficient lux or light intensity for carrying out work accurately. If the work area lacks proper illumination, it can lead to issues such as eye strain and fatigue, especially during detailed work. Excessive lighting is also unnecessary, as it may result in glare and dazzle. According to … Read more
In pharmaceutical industries AHU and HVAC play an essential role in controlling microorganism-free environments by supplying fresh air. The quality of pharmaceutical products is dependent on hygiene within the industry. Preventing the spread of microorganisms through the air is highly significant. Whether it’s during laboratory development or manufacturing activities, maintaining a clean and suitable room atmosphere is … Read more
The pharmaceutical industry generates lots of wastewater during the production or formulation of medicines. So it is very important to treats this wastewater by using various techniques. Water purification technology is used to eliminate solids from liquids. The impure solids can be coarse, suspended, colloidal, and dissolved. In the purification process, they need to be … Read more
