Thermocouples are popular temperature measurement devices due to their versatility, responsiveness, ruggedness, and low cost. To make the most of them, here are five things you should know about industrial thermocouple assemblies. Thermocouples are the workhorses …
WIKA has decades of expertise in designing, manufacturing, and installing high-performance temperature measurement systems for refineries, an industry that requires accurate and robust thermocouple assemblies to keep their applications running smoothly and safely. Our …
The orifice plate flow meter and other devices for differential pressure (DP) flow measurement have both positive and negative attributes. WIKA’s innovative FlowPak features all the benefits of traditional DP flow meters but with greater accuracy and less drop in …
Extremely high temperatures over time lead to grain growth in type K thermocouples, which can cause metal separation and thermocouple failure. Fortunately, good solutions exist for minimizing the effect of grain growth. Grain growth is a common cause of failure in …
Green rot is most pronounced when type K thermocouples are exposed to temperatures between approximately 800°C and 1,260°C (1,472°F to 2,300°F) and when there’s a low concentration of oxygen. This problem causes negative drifts, inaccurate measurements, and even …
