Multipoint Thermocouples: The Ideal High Temperature Sensors for Ammonia Applications
Robert TorgersonTemperature measurement and monitoring are critical for processes that synthesize ammonia for nitrogen fertilizer production. WIKA USA’s multipoint thermocouple assemblies feature high temperature sensors designed to withstand the harsh condition of ammonia …
Extreme Cold Calls for Reliable Low-Temperature Resistance Thermometer
Gabriel GonzalesThe majority of new oil and gas fields are concentrated in Siberia and northern Canada. The increase in extraction activity in these regions, along with the need to process the oil and gas locally, has resulted in a growing demand for temperature measurement solutions …
How to Prevent False Alarms in Industrial Thermocouples
Gabriel GonzalesElectrical temperature measuring instruments have an alarm that warns operators of a malfunction, such as an open circuit. However, loose wires or a broken terminal block can cause the alarm to sound, even though the device itself is fine. To prevent such false alarms, …
When to Replace a Thermocouple in a Syngas Reactor: Easy Retrofitting for Better Performance
Robert TorgersonAdvancements in thermocouple assemblies allow syngas plants to easily update their temperature measurement solutions for low temperature shift (LTS) applications. With improved monitoring of catalyst activity, syngas plants can maximize catalyst life and better plan …
