The TR10 and TR40 RTDs: The Industrial Thermometers for High-Vibration Applications
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureSome shaking is expected in industrial and commercial applications, but the sensors of most industrial thermometers fail after exposure to significant vibrations. WIKA’s TR10 and TR40 resistance temperature detectors are specially designed for high-vibration …
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, …
Improving an Industrial Gauge’s Readability: A Key Factor in Safer Operations
Hardy Orzikowski | ApplicationsPressure and temperature instrument dials with big, bright numbers increase instrument visibility and readability. WIKA USA’s retro-reflective dial background makes it even easier to locate a critical installation among the sea of industrial gauges, adding to the …
Multipoint Thermocouple Assemblies: Not Just for Fixed Bed Reactors
Robert Torgerson | ApplicationsRefineries rely on multipoint thermocouples to monitor temperature at different points inside fixed-bed reactors. However, these temperature measurement systems are also extremely useful for evaluating performance in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units, vapor …
