Industrial Thermocouple - choosing the right one. The answer to the question “what kind of thermocouple?” depends on several factors relating to the process to be monitored, such as its compatibility with the media/process environment, frequency and accuracy of …
Temperature control is a critical factor for reactor vessels in the refining and chemicals industry. The catalysts that convert the process oil in these reactors work best in very specific temperature ranges, and too high or too low a temperature can have a noticeable …
The process engineers at a major chemical manufacturer were stumped. They were regularly getting very poor response times from their process temperature sensors and simply could not figure out why. The response times to temperature changes were consistently close to 30 …
Resistance 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 …
Vacuum tower revamps and internal upgrades can improve the yield and product quality of vacuum distillation units (VDU), a must in today's competitive markets. These modifications, though, require a considerable influx of capital. Improvements in cross sectional tower …
