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 ® …
Measuring SF6 Density: A Must for Properly Insulated Switchgear
Josh Sizemore | SF6 Gas SolutionsSF 6 is highly effective at insulating switchgears, transducers, and circuit breakers – but only if there is enough of the gas in the equipment. Knowing the density of SF 6 is the best way to make sure gas-filled components are not safety compromised. SF6 …
Cost-effective Level Gauge: Understanding Flanges, Their Variables, and Your Choices
Patrick McGrath | LevelA level gauge’s actual cost often comes down to its flanges. The less expensive the flange material, the less expensive the level gauge. Right? Not always. Other elements factor into the final price, such as the flange rating and whether extra machining and materials …
