How Green Rot Affects Type K Thermocouples

Gabriel Gonzales | Temperature
Reducing Grain Growth in High Temperature Situations

Green rot is most pronounced when type K thermocouples are exposed to temperatures between approximately 800°C and 1,260°C (1,472°F to 2,300°F) and when there’s a low concentration of oxygen. This problem causes negative drifts, inaccurate measurements, and even …

WIKA V-PAD® Tubeskin Thermocouples Provide Accurate, Reliable Temperature Measurement in Ethylene Steam Crackers

Gabriel Gonzales | Temperature

Petrochemical plants use steam crackers to convert ethane into more useful ethylene. This energy-intensive process calls for maintaining very high temperature measurement within a relatively narrow range. The conversion of ethylene is poor if the temperature is …

The Benefits of Sheathed Thermocouples

Gabriel Gonzales | Temperature

Thermocouples are rugged and respond quickly to temperature changes. When sheathed, these temperature measurement instruments are extremely resistant to vibration, mechanical stresses, and aggressive/corrosive media. Because they’re small and highly bendable, …
