Liquid-filled gauges surpass dry gauges for two main reasons: performance and extended service life. Pressure gauges that are filled with a liquid, usually glycerin or silicone oil, perform better in less-than-ideal conditions. They are also more economical in the long …
By simulating process conditions and recreating our customers’ actual problems, WIKA is able to come up with measurement solutions for tough challenges in the oil & gas industry. Conducting tests on a working reactor is expensive, as doing so requires taking …
When installing thermowells in a pipeline, a user must first answer several questions regarding their location, quantity, stem length, distance from each another, and effects on the process media. Thermowells are highly effective devices for protecting …
Having an accurate temperature profile of reactors can alert operators of small problems before they become large ones. However, the process of checking thermocouples usually requires significant downtime and, thus, expense. WIKA’s Multipoint Thermocouple …
Alkylation units use very strong catalysts, such as hydrofluoric acid, to produce the components for high-octane gasoline. That’s why refineries need process gauges and other pressure instruments that can withstand highly corrosive environments. Petroleum …
