Level Gauges with Inverted Design Enable Compact Skid Construction
Patrick McGrath | LevelModular 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 …
4-Wire RTDs vs. 3-Wire RTDs
Gabriel Gonzales | Know-how, TemperatureThe 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. …
When to Use a 3-Wire RTD
Gabriel Gonzales | Know-how, TemperatureRTDs (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
Patrick McGrath | LevelManaging 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 …
