A butter-pad allows refineries to weld new thermocouples onto it rather than directly on the bare furnace tube, as repeated welding damages the tube’s integrity. However, using this weld overlay affects the accuracy of temperature readings. WIKA conducted a series of …
While measuring gauge pressure is sufficient for most industrial applications, sometimes it is necessary to use an instrument that displays absolute pressure, as this reading does not fluctuate depending on altitude or weather conditions. When selecting a pressure …
Temperature sensors are essential measuring instruments for ensuring the safety and efficiency of countless industrial processes. While RTDs and thermocouples both provide accuracy and reliability, each has pros and cons that make them better suited for particular …
In a municipal water treatment plant, a variety of pumps move water from the pretreatment stages to distribution. Different applications call for different types of pumps, depending on the system requirements, desired discharge pressure, desired flow capacity, and …
Today’s pressure gauges are remarkably robust and accurate, but they do lose accuracy over time. Regular calibration of pressure gauges is the best way to ensure that readings are reliable. Different applications call for different levels of pressure gauge …
