Getting to the Bottom of a RTD Sensor Reading Delay
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureThe process engineers at a major chemical manufacturer were stumped. They were regularly getting very poor response times from their process temperature sensors and simply could not figure out why. The response times to temperature changes were consistently close to 30 …
Magnetostrictive Float Technology is Superior to Guided-Wave Radar for Level Measurement of Foamy Liquids
Patrick McGrath | LevelAccurate level measurement is critical in industries ranging from pharmaceutical, food, and beverage to petrochemical manufacturing. Continuous manufacturing (24/7) depends on careful monitoring of the level of feed materials and process media in tanks, pipes, and …
WIKA Has a Solution for Tight Spaces When Replacing Glass Gauges
Patrick McGrath | LevelConsistent and reliable, magnetic level indicators are widely used in many sectors, including the petrochemical industry. The operation of these cost-effective instruments is simple and elegant: A float resides within a chamber that, most commonly, is attached to the …
Diaphragm Seal Pattern Matching Prevents Damage, Reduces Temperature Effects
Chi-Che Ma | PressureDiaphragm seals are a common accessory for pressure gauges and sensors in many refining and manufacturing applications. The pressure of the media being measured bends the flexible diaphragm slightly inward, and this movement displaces the fluid behind the seal into the …
