Temperature is a critical factor in almost all manufacturing and refining processes. As such, process plants have developed a variety of useful technologies related to accurate temperature measurement and control in their operations . Heat tracing is one …
Even the sturdiest tanks and vessels become susceptible to oxidation as they age. Regular and proper maintenance helps keep them in good shape, yet oxidation still occurs, releasing ferrites into the liquid stream. Ferrites not only alter the quality of the product, …
A major U.S. refinery returns to the Gayesco brand for WIKA USA's quality products, accurate information, expert installation, and exceptional customer service, even though it had an existing Global Frame Agreement with the competing bidder. Back in 1989, Gayesco …
Petrochemical plants use steam crackers to convert ethane into more useful ethylene. This energy-intensive process calls for maintaining very high temperature measurement within a relatively narrow range. The conversion of ethylene is poor if the temperature is …
Thermocouples are rugged and respond quickly to temperature changes. When sheathed, these temperature measurement instruments are extremely resistant to vibration, mechanical stresses, and aggressive/corrosive media. Because they’re small and highly bendable, …
