Force Measurement Solutions: Tension Links for Cable Cranes
Jeff Placek | ForceWorking machines like mobile cranes are designed to hoist and move heavy loads. Despite their sturdiness, cranes do have an upper limit of how much weight they can handle. That’s where force measurement comes in. For cranes without hydraulics, tension links measure …
Case Study: Why a Major Agricultural Machinery Company Started Using WIKA’s Level Sensors
Jeff Placek | Applications, LevelA U.S. manufacturer of agricultural equipment has long relied on WIKA’s pressure sensors for machine control. It now is starting to use the RLT-1000 in its sprayer tanks, a critical area for level measurement in farm sprayers, due to this level sensor’s quality, …
How Thermowells Affect Temperature Response Times
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureThermowells protect temperature sensors from harsh media. On the downside, these fittings increase the thermal response time. Therefore, knowing precisely what that response time is becomes a key factor in controlling processes and systems. In the real …
Case Study: Refiner Benefits from WIKA’s Flexible Radial Temperature Measurement Solution for Hydrotreaters
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureA major U.S. refiner was disappointed with the performance of its thermocouple arrays in hydrotreaters, as the cheaper sensors failed after almost every turnaround. WIKA solved the problem by replacing the old sensors with the high-performance Gayesco Flex-R ® …
