Calibration bath or dry-well calibrator – which is the right choice?
| Danica Schwarzkopf | Know-howTemperature sensors – like all other sensors – must be calibrated at regular intervals. This ensures that they deliver accurate and consistent measured values. Temperature calibration (e.g. using a calibration bath or dry-well calibrator) is generally carried out …
Measurement technology in compressors
| Roland Sachs | ApplicationsThe measurement technology used in compressors is tending to increase more and more. And for good reason. The balancing act between increased compressed air demands and reduced energy consumption also depends, to a large extent, on the intelligent use of measuring …
Application of sapphire thermocouples in gasification reactors
| Kai Grabenauer | TemperatureGasification reactors, due to their harsh process conditions, place high demands on the instruments used there. Many manufacturers have reacted to this and adapted their products correspondingly. But what are the optimisation possibilities for thermocouples for use at …
Thermometer calibration – an overview
| Danica Schwarzkopf | Know-howNot all calibrations are the same. This is illustrated by the example of “Thermometer calibration” - which test method is used depends on various factors such as process conditions, quality standards and safety requirements. Depending on the method, the calibration …
