How to Prevent False Alarms in Industrial Thermocouples
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureElectrical temperature measuring instruments have an alarm that warns operators of a malfunction, such as an open circuit. However, loose wires or a broken terminal block can cause the alarm to sound, even though the device itself is fine. To prevent such false alarms, …
Case Study: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency at a Geothermal Site with WIKA’s Pressure Measurement Technology
Hardy Orzikowski | PressureIn geothermal plants, transforming the earth’s heat into electricity imposes challenging conditions on pressure measurement equipment. WIKA’s pressure monitoring instruments and diaphragm seals can withstand harsh environments, as shown in a recent installation at …
When to Replace a Thermocouple in a Syngas Reactor: Easy Retrofitting for Better Performance
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureAdvancements in thermocouple assemblies allow syngas plants to easily update their temperature measurement solutions for low temperature shift (LTS) applications. With improved monitoring of catalyst activity, syngas plants can maximize catalyst life and better plan …
Extreme Temperature Thermocouples and RTDs: WIKA’s Solution for Replacing Sensors without Disturbing Insulation
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureWhen reactors or pipelines are located in extremely hot or cold conditions, they must be insulated in order to keep the process media within an optimal temperature range. This insulation, however, makes it time-consuming and expensive for operators to replace a …
