Industrial Thermocouple Repair and Replacement
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureA thermocouple has no moving parts and is extremely robust. However, thermocouples do lose accuracy over time and can become damaged by overheating during use or by human error. With a TC96-R thermocouple assembly, you enjoy the flexibility of thermocouple replacement …
Chemical Compatibility: Wetted Parts of Pressure Sensors
Robert Lukat | PressureAvoiding problems like corrosion or premature failure makes the use of pressure sensors safe and maximizes the lifespan of the product. One of the keys to doing that is to ensure that a pressure sensor's wetted parts – those which come in direct contact with …
The Importance of Wellhead Monitoring
Robert Lukat | ApplicationsWhy Is Wellhead Monitoring Important? Modern oil and natural gas wells are typically designed to operate unattended for extended periods. Downtime means lost profits, so oil companies are willing to pay a premium for rugged, reliable equipment for their wellheads. …
Pressure Sensors Built for Harsh Environments
Robert Lukat | PressureChoosing the Right Oil Well Pressure Sensors for Extreme Environments When a well is pumping oil, everybody's happy because everybody's making a profit. But when breakdown halts the flow of oil, that same well suddenly turns from a profitable asset into an expensive …
