The TR10 and TR40 RTDs: The Industrial Thermometers for High-Vibration Applications
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureSome shaking is expected in industrial and commercial applications, but the sensors of most industrial thermometers fail after exposure to significant vibrations. WIKA’s TR10 and TR40 resistance temperature detectors are specially designed for high-vibration …
Pt100 and Pt1000 Sensors: Important Facts and Differences
Gabriel Gonzales | Know-how, TemperatureMany industries use RTDs for measuring temperature, and the sensor in the majority of those devices are either Pt100 or Pt1000. These two temperature sensors have similar characteristics, but their difference in nominal resistance may determine which one you choose for …
Wire-Wound vs. Thin-Film Resistance Temperature Detector: Which Is Better?
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureMany process applications rely on either a wire-wound or thin-film resistance temperature detector (RTD) to provide efficient and safe operations. These two types of resistance thermometers have different properties, and each has its pros and cons. In reality, this is …
Endurance Tests Prove Effectiveness of ScrutonWell® Design as Vortex Breaker
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureFlow tests by the National Engineering Laboratory in Glasgow confirm that thermowells with a ScrutonWell ® design suppress vortex-induced vibrations, a benefit especially for oil and gas pipelines with higher flow rates and small nozzle connections. Industrial …
