How Thermowells Affect Temperature Response Times
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureThermowells protect temperature sensors from harsh media. On the downside, these fittings increase the thermal response time. Therefore, knowing precisely what that response time is becomes a key factor in controlling processes and systems. In the real …
Wire-Wound vs. Thin-Film Resistance Temperature Detector: Which Is Better?
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureMany process applications rely on either a wire-wound or thin-film resistance temperature detector (RTD) to provide efficient and safe operations. These two types of resistance thermometers have different properties, and each has its pros and cons. In reality, this is …
The Problems with Verifying Thermocouple Accuracy During Reactor Startups
Robert Torgerson | Know-howRefinery operators who work with fixed bed catalysts place a high value on temperature accuracy, but they also don’t want to waste time by taking unnecessary temperature readings. Thus, to better understand any radial temperature differences that may exist during …
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 …
