Selection criteria for mechanical Thermometers (1): Response time
Christoph Strebel | Know-howSelecting suitable mechanical thermometers for a process is not a quick task. Bimetal thermometers or gas-actuated thermometers - the decision on the type of thermometer alone depends on several factors. One of the most important selection criteria is the response time …
Advantages of diaphragm pressure gauges (1): Measurement of low pressures
Silvia Weber | Know-howDiaphragm pressure gauges are considered as specialists in the process industries. They come into play when Bourdon tube pressure gauges reach the limits of their performance. One of the advantages of diaphragm pressure gauges is the measurement of low pressures. …
Heat dissipation
Joachim Brückner | Know-how"At best, a thermometer only ever measures its own temperature". The aim is therefore to equalise the temperature of the sensor element to that of the medium to be measured. Only then will the thermometer display the actual medium temperature. The heat …
Bourdon tube pressure gauge – functional principle
Jürgen Reiser | Know-howBourdon tube pressure gauges are the most frequently used mechanical pressure measuring instruments. Their pressure element is often referred to as a Bourdon tube: The French engineer Eugène Bourdon made use of this functional principle in the middle of the 19th …
