Fires are a real risk when transporting coal on a conveyor belt – endangering lives, equipment, and products. Rugged, reliable, and cost-effective, WIKA’s model TCC continuous thermocouple plays an important role in preventing and detecting coal conveyor belt …
Type K, Type J, Type N – the list of thermocouple types seems like an alphabet soup. And as technology improves and manufacturers come up with more options, it can be hard to keep track of all the various names and classifications. This article outlines the 11 most …
Thermocouples are hardworking temperature sensors found in many industrial applications. Find out what thermocouples are, how they work, and why they are so popular. Thermocouples are electrical devices used to measure temperature. Their accuracy, rapid …
Refinery 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 …
With repeated exposure to high temperatures, a Type K thermocouple becomes less accurate. Aging is a phenomenon that results in higher-than-accurate temperature readings, while drift results in lower-than-accurate readings. While all Type K thermocouples experience …
