Thermocouples are among the most popular temperature measurement instruments in industrial applications because of their versatility and ease of use. However, measurement errors can occur. This article discusses the six most common causes of thermocouple errors. …
The varied nature of the liquid waste in sump pits can create difficulties with accurate level measurement . WIKA’s submersible transmitter avoids these problems by measuring the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid in the sump pit. Power plants and refineries, …
A false trip is when an instrument error, rather than an actual problem, sets off (“trips”) a safety alarm. All plant operators want to avoid false trips, especially the ones that lead to a full process shutdown – a very expensive scenario. WIKA’s SIL III …
RTDs are widely used in industrial applications. It is important to choose a temperature device with the appropriate material, design, and configuration that meet requirements and comply with the DIN EN 60751 standard for industrial resistance thermometers. A …
A thermocouple has no moving parts and is extremely robust. However, thermocouples do lose accuracy over time and can become damaged by overheating during use or by human error. With a TC96-R thermocouple assembly, you enjoy the flexibility of thermocouple replacement …
