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 …
WIKA has long been a top manufacturer of temperature sensors and temperature measurement solutions. After the company acquired Gayesco International, WIKA USA greatly increased its capabilities and expertise in temperature measurement for the petrochemical and refining …
Reforming reactions in syngas (synthesis gas) plants require high heat, which takes a toll on the lifespan of furnace tubes. The higher the temperature, the shorter the tube life. Using a simple formula based on temperature measurements over time, plant operators can …
Each maritime vessel built for commercial purposes must meet strict guidelines as issued by a classification and certification agency. With approvals from major approval agencies, including Lloyd’s Register and Bureau Veritas, WIKA produces quality force and level …
