The process engineers at a major chemical manufacturer were stumped. They were regularly getting very poor response times from their process temperature sensors and simply could not figure out why. The response times to temperature changes were consistently close to 30 …
A thermowell is a protective housing for a thermometer used to provide temperature readings for an industrial process. Given that process media in many industries are corrosive, abrasive or under high pressure, a thermometer is placed inside a thermowell so the …
The electrical resistance of some materials, such as platinum, copper, and nickel, differs at different temperatures. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) take advantage of this property to assess temperature in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. …
RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) are the most common, most versatile temperature sensors in industrial and process applications. They are stable, have good repeatability and work well within a wide range of temperatures. The electrical resistance of some …
Temperature switches are used in a broad range of applications, including to prevent the overheating or overcooling of industrial machines found in the agriculture, construction, and material handling industries. When it comes to temperature monitoring, the …
