WIKA has long been a top manufacturer of temperature sensors and temperature measurement solutions. After the company acquired Gayesco International, WIKA USA greatly increased its capabilities and expertise in temperature measurement for the petrochemical and refining industries. A new video highlights the reasons WIKA USA is a leading temperature specialist and trusted instrumentation supplier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Numerous applications in the petrochemical, refining, and process industries require accurate and reliable temperature monitoring systems not only for safety, but also to minimize downtime and increase the bottom line<\/a>. That\u2019s why WIKA USA\u2019s temperature operations is committed to designing, manufacturing, and installing the best temperature sensors on the market.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with WIKA\u2019s capabilities and expertise when it comes to temperature measurement<\/a>, here\u2019s a quick overview:<\/p>\n

Innovation in Temperature Sensors<\/h2>\n

WIKA designs products and installation procedures that ensure repeatability, durability, and accuracy. Our specialists continuously create custom solutions to meet customers\u2019 unique temperature needs. With the acquisition of Gayesco International in 2012, WIKA USA added the expertise of engineered temperature sensor profiling solutions to its already extensive portfolio of temperature products and services.<\/p>\n

Gayesco broke ground with the Flex-R\u00ae<\/sup> (Model TC96-R)<\/a>more than a decade before the competition came up with a comparable multipoint thermocouple. The company later developed a tubeskin thermocouple assembly, the Gayesco\u00a0Refracto-Pad\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> (Model TC59-R), with a molded protective shield that improves accuracy for high flame impingement applications. The Gayesco\u00a0Xtracto-Pad\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> (Model TC59-X) is\u00a0an innovative tubeskin assembly with removable thermocouples that is easy to install and maintain.<\/p>\n

Since its founding in 1958, Gayesco has developed 13 product patents. WIKA USA\u2019s Temperature division continues to develop new products that meet customer demands and ever-evolving regulatory requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

State-of-the-Art Manufacturing<\/h2>\n

In 2014, WIKA built a 90,000 sq. ft. production plant near the Houston Ship Channel to manufacture its complete line of temperature products, including 3- and 4-wire RTDs, flame rods, standard temperature assemblies, and full radial profiling solutions. This cutting-edge facility is versatile, producing components from temperature sensors as small as 0.02 inches to industrial assemblies as long as 300 feet.<\/p>\n
