Using a multipoint thermocouple to produce sustainable aviation fuel
| Jing Lyu | ApplicationsWaste is valuable. Solid municipal waste, such as packaging, paper or food, can be used to produce fuel for aircraft, for example. During the production process, the control of exothermic reactions requires reliable and precise temperature monitoring. This requires a …
New Food: Biomass fermentation harbours complex measuring requirements
| Jing Lyu | ApplicationsAccording to UN forecasts, ten billion people will be living on Earth by 2050. The food industry must find new ways to ensure that the growing world population can be fed sustainably. One of these is New Food. This involves biotechnological food ingredients produced …
Temperature transmitter T38 doesn’t give drift a chance
| Nadine Daniel | Products, TemperatureFor plant operators a permanent temperature sensor’s drift tends to be a pain in the neck. This defect usually becomes apparent at a following calibration – in other words: too late! Until then it might have caused a false temperature measurement and compromised …
Switch contacts make pressure gauges and thermometers “active”
| Christoph Strebel | Know-howSwitch contacts in pressure gauges and mechanical thermometers significantly extend the functionality of the measuring instruments. They enable limit value monitoring in addition to on-site indication. Such instruments with switch contacts are therefore an important …
