Gayesco Flex-O™ Multipoint Thermometer: Ideal for Temperature Monitoring in Reactor Pipewells
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureTechnicians 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, …
Sour Crude Oil Calls for NACE-Compliant Stainless Steel Pressure Gauge
Alina Green | PressureA NACE-compliant stainless steel pressure gauge is the perfect solution for refineries and other petrochemical applications that work with sour crude oil, whose higher sulfur content has greater potential for corroding instrumentation and causing costly problems. …
WIKA’s Mini Diaphragm Semiconductor Gauge: Reliable Pressure Solution for Corrosive UHP Environments
Patrick McGrath | PressureBourdon tube gauges are commonly used for measuring pressure, but this doesn’t mean that a bourdon tube gauge is the best pressure measurement solution for all semiconductor applications. As highlighted in a respected 2018 trade magazine article, a mini …
GPU-2000: An All-in-One Solution for SF6 Handling, Replacement, and Cleaning
Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsThe level of humidity in SF 6 -insulated switchgear must be kept below its water saturation point. If the gas is too humid, it loses some of its insulating properties; corrosion and dangerous leaks can also occur. A complete SF 6 handling instrument monitors the …
