Many industries use RTDs for measuring temperature, and the sensor in the majority of those devices are either Pt100 or Pt1000. These two temperature sensors have similar characteristics, but their difference in nominal resistance may determine which one you choose for …
Many 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 …
Flow tests by the National Engineering Laboratory in Glasgow confirm that thermowells with a ScrutonWell ® design suppress vortex-induced vibrations, a benefit especially for oil and gas pipelines with higher flow rates and small nozzle connections. Industrial …
The majority of new oil and gas fields are concentrated in Siberia and northern Canada. The increase in extraction activity in these regions, along with the need to process the oil and gas locally, has resulted in a growing demand for temperature measurement solutions …
Electrical 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, …
