How Changes in Gas Temperature Affect Gas Density Measurements
Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsCircuit breakers, disconnectors, and switchgear in power transmission and distribution (T&D) operations have been using sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) as insulation for decades. To maintain the excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric strength of SF 6 , …
How Ambient Conditions Can Compromise Density Measurements in T&D SF6-Insulated Equipment
Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsFor decades, the power transmission and distribution (T&D) industry has been using sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) as the insulator in circuit breakers, disconnectors, and switchgear. The heat transfer and dielectric characteristics of this gas are better than those of …
WIKA TR 21-B and TR 22-B Thermometers Ideal for Sanitary Industry Processes
Patrick McGrath | ApplicationsResistance thermometers are one of the most accurate and reliable methods for monitoring temperatures in industrial processes, especially sanitary processes. Resistance temperature detectors (RTD) operate on the principle that the electrical resistance of metals varies …
Pressure Measurement: Understanding PSI, PSIA and PSIG
Robert Lukat | PressurePressure measurement is all about PSI. That’s because pounds per square inch (PSI) is the most common unit for measuring pressure in the U.S. It’s important to understand what PSI means and how it is used, as pressure measurement is an important part of life in the …
