Some shaking is expected in industrial and commercial applications, but the sensors of most industrial thermometers fail after exposure to significant vibrations. WIKA’s TR10 and TR40 resistance temperature detectors are specially designed for high-vibration …
Neither sensor is universally better. Choose a Pt100 for broad instrument compatibility and conventional industrial process applications. Choose a Pt1000 for two-wire installations, longer lead lengths, battery-powered equipment, and applications where lower …
Technicians need an accurate temperature profile of a reactor or fuel depot for safe, efficient operations. However, these high-temperature applications pose challenges for many temperature monitoring instruments. Multipoint thermometers also tend to be unwieldy, …
Many process applications rely on either a wire-wound or thin-film resistance temperature detector (RTD) to provide efficient and safe operations. These two types of resistance thermometers have different properties, and each has its pros and cons. In reality, this is …
With repeated exposure to high temperatures, a Type K thermocouple becomes less accurate. Aging is a phenomenon that results in higher-than-accurate temperature readings, while drift results in lower-than-accurate readings. While all Type K thermocouples experience …
