A potent insulator and arc quencher, SF 6 gas is widely used in the world of transmission and distribution, as well as other applications. Find the answers to frequently asked questions about this gas’s attributes, risks, and best practices. Sulfur …
A thermometer with an NPT male thread is ideal for use in a thermowell with an NPSM female thread. This pairing optimizes heat transfer, facilitates maintenance and replacement, and gives users more choices. Thermowells protect temperature measuring …
Many 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 …
Three specific types of errors have a negative impact on pressure sensor accuracy. This easy-to-understand video from WIKA explains the difference between zero-point errors, span errors, and non-linearity. Inaccuracies in pressure instrumentation occur when the …
A diaphragm seal makes measuring pressure safer and more reliable – even in extreme working conditions – and is ideal for protecting pressure instrumentation and process transmitters. Discover the basic principle behind diaphragm seals and when to use them. It …
