A number of recent studies have demonstrated that pressure sensor diagnostics in mobile machinery mean less work for field technicians and millions of dollars of cost savings for manufacturers. According to data collected by WIKA from off-road vehicle …
Modular is the new mantra in the process sector, and single-purpose, built-to-spec process skids are the latest trend in the refining and chemical industries. A “skid” is a portable work station used in a process facility. It is modular in the sense in that …
The electrical resistance of some materials, such as platinum, copper, and nickel, differs at different temperatures. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) take advantage of this property to assess temperature in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. …
RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) are the most common, most versatile temperature sensors in industrial and process applications. They are stable, have good repeatability and work well within a wide range of temperatures. The electrical resistance of some …
Managing thermal expansion in liquid level measuring is a common issue in refinery and chemical applications that put level gauges outside the vessel or tank. In this configuration, the gauge is exposed to atmospheric conditions that may affect the temperature of the …
