People, machinery, and products are best if they’re kept within a certain temperature range. Too much heat is especially a concern for equipment and perishables. That's why ambient temperature monitoring should be high on an industrial plant's to-do list. When …
Almost everyone uses the terms pressure sensor , pressure transducer , and pressure transmitter interchangeably, and that’s okay! What‘s in a name? When it comes to electronic pressure sensing, the answer for many users is “not much.” Manufacturers …
Working machines like mobile cranes are designed to hoist and move heavy loads. Despite their sturdiness, cranes do have an upper limit of how much weight they can handle. That’s where force measurement comes in. For cranes without hydraulics, tension links measure …
A U.S. manufacturer of agricultural equipment has long relied on WIKA’s pressure sensors for machine control. It now is starting to use the RLT-1000 in its sprayer tanks, a critical area for level measurement in farm sprayers, due to this level sensor’s quality, …
Thermowells protect temperature sensors from harsh media. On the downside, these fittings increase the thermal response time. Therefore, knowing precisely what that response time is becomes a key factor in controlling processes and systems. In the real …
