Combined Measurements in Mobile Working Machines: A Two-in-one Level Sensor and Temperature Sensor
Jeff Placek | LevelA growing trend in the industrial vehicles sector is to combine measuring instrumentation. This shift makes sense, as a level sensor combined with a temperature sensor, or a dual pressure–temperature transmitter, can provide more data at a lower cost than single …
Helical Design Minimizes Vortex Formation and Mechanical Fatigue in Thermowells
Jessica Woodside | Know-howThe helical design has been used in a variety of applications to dampen flow-induced forces that can damage equipment. WIKA uses the same concept to stabilize thermowells and as an efficient and economical way to prevent thermowell mechanical fatigue and failure. One …
How to Prevent False Alarms in Industrial Thermocouples
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureElectrical temperature measuring instruments have an alarm that warns operators of a malfunction, such as an open circuit. However, loose wires or a broken terminal block can cause the alarm to sound, even though the device itself is fine. To prevent such false alarms, …
Thermocouple Replacement: Knowing When It’s Time to Upgrade a Syngas Reactor’s Temperature Sensors
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureAdvancements in thermocouple assemblies allow syngas plants to easily update their temperature measurement solutions for low temperature shift (LTS) applications. With improved monitoring of catalyst activity, syngas plants can maximize catalyst life and better plan …
