Questions and answers about how RTDs measure temperature changes by tracking the variation in electrical resistance in metal wires. The resistance values of the metal wires are known, so resistance value changes are an accurate proxy for temperature changes. A …
Industrial Thermocouple - choosing the right one. The answer to the question “what kind of thermocouple?” depends on several factors relating to the process to be monitored, such as its compatibility with the media/process environment, frequency and accuracy of …
Mechanical pressure switches are reliable and low-cost. And with the variety of options available, they meet the requirements of many different applications. This blog summarizes common features and factors to consider when selecting a mechanical pressure switch. …
Temperature control is a critical factor for reactor vessels in the refining and chemicals industry. The catalysts that convert the process oil in these reactors work best in very specific temperature ranges, and too high or too low a temperature can have a noticeable …
The process engineers at a major chemical manufacturer were stumped. They were regularly getting very poor response times from their process temperature sensors and simply could not figure out why. The response times to temperature changes were consistently close to 30 …
