Why Refineries Return to WIKA’s Temperature Solutions
Robert TorgersonA major U.S. refinery returns to the Gayesco brand for WIKA USA's quality products, accurate information, expert installation, and exceptional customer service, even though it had an existing Global Frame Agreement with the competing bidder. Back in 1989, Gayesco …
WIKA V-PAD® Tubeskin Thermocouples Provide Accurate, Reliable Temperature Measurement in Ethylene Steam Crackers
Gabriel GonzalesPetrochemical plants use steam crackers to convert ethane into more useful ethylene. This energy-intensive process calls for maintaining very high temperature measurement within a relatively narrow range. The conversion of ethylene is poor if the temperature is …
