Reforming reactions in syngas (synthesis gas) plants require high heat, which takes a toll on the lifespan of furnace tubes. The higher the temperature, the shorter the tube life. Using a simple formula based on temperature measurements over time, plant operators can …
Cracking furnaces in refineries operate under extreme conditions. To perform at their best, hydrocracking units rely on sophisticated temperature measurement systems. WIKA USA offers a complete portfolio of accurate and reliable temperature measurement solutions for …
WIKA inline diaphragm seals and flow-through thermowells either reduce or eliminate dead legs where bacterial or fungal contamination can develop in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Process engineers know for decades that “dead legs” in piping and …
The level of humidity in SF 6 -insulated switchgear must be kept below its water saturation point. If the gas is too humid, it loses some of its insulating properties; corrosion and dangerous leaks can also occur. A complete SF 6 handling instrument monitors the …
Sulfur hexafluoride is the gas most commonly used as insulator in power transmission and distribution switchgear. Water, however, can negatively affect the dielectric capabilities of SF 6 gas. To prevent operational and safety issues, it is important to measure and …
