What to Know about Aging and Drift in Type K Thermocouples
Robert Torgerson | Know-how, TemperatureWith repeated exposure to high temperatures, a Type K thermocouple becomes less accurate. Aging is a phenomenon that results in higher-than-accurate temperature readings, while drift results in lower-than-accurate readings. While all Type K thermocouples experience …
Endurance Tests Prove Effectiveness of ScrutonWell® Design as Vortex Breaker
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureFlow 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 …
