A bending beam or sheer beam load cell determines weight indirectly by measuring the deformation of its strain gauge or thin-film sensor. These force transducers are a smart – and often the only – way to measure load in industrial applications. There …
An energy company’s process furnaces were experiencing excessive coking, leading to wasted energy and frequent downtimes for tube cleaning. After installing WIKA’s Tefracto-Pad ® thermocouples, the energy company enjoyed longer run lengths between decoking …
From pressure gauges and sensors to valves and diaphragm seal systems, the right instruments and accessories help ensure product consistency and quality in a pulp and paper facility while maximizing safety and efficiency. This article is a continuation of “ …
Energy companies around the world, including in the U.S., have converted some of their petroleum refineries to produce renewable diesel instead. Others are planning to do so. Temperature monitoring of catalyst beds, using multipoint thermocouple assemblies, plays a key …
From cooking the pulp to drying the final product, paper production is heat-intensive. Thermocouples, RTDs, dial thermometers, thermowells, digital transmitters, and more help ensure the safety and efficiency of many applications in pulp and paper plants. This …
