Level Monitoring in Mobile Machine Applications
Patrick McGrath | LevelMany industries — including construction, agriculture, mining, and material handling — as well as the military rely on mobile machines for their operations. These machines work under extremely harsh conditions, which tax the level measuring instrumentation used to …
WIKA TR 21-B and TR 22-B Thermometers Ideal for Sanitary Industry Processes
Patrick McGrath | ApplicationsResistance thermometers are one of the most accurate and reliable methods for monitoring temperatures in industrial processes, especially sanitary processes. Resistance temperature detectors (RTD) operate on the principle that the electrical resistance of metals varies …
Level Gauges with Inverted Design Enable Compact Skid Construction
Patrick McGrath | LevelModular is the new mantra in the process sector, and single-purpose, built-to-spec process skids are the latest trend in the refining and chemical industries. A “skid” is a portable work station used in a process facility. It is modular in the sense in that …
Managing Thermal Expansion in Liquid Level Measuring
Patrick McGrath | LevelManaging thermal expansion in liquid level measuring is a common issue in refinery and chemical applications that put level gauges outside the vessel or tank. In this configuration, the gauge is exposed to atmospheric conditions that may affect the temperature of the …
