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 of diaphragm seals and when to use them. Pressure …
Refinery operators who work with fixed bed catalysts place a high value on temperature accuracy, but they also don’t want to waste time by taking unnecessary temperature readings. Thus, to better understand any radial temperature differences that may exist during …
With repeated exposure to high temperatures, a Type K thermocouple becomes less accurate. Aging is a phenomenon that results in higher-than-accurate temperature readings, while drift results in lower-than-accurate readings. While all Type K thermocouples experience …
