Temperature measurement and monitoring are critical for processes that synthesize ammonia for nitrogen fertilizer production. WIKA USA’s multipoint thermocouple assemblies feature high temperature sensors designed to withstand the harsh condition of ammonia …
Thermal runaways in hydrocracking processes are a serious concern for refiners. Comprehensive, real-time temperature monitoring is critical to preventing runaways, which is why most hydrocrackers across the world are equipped with Gayesco Flex-R ® multipoint …
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 …
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 …
Thermocouples come in either grounded or ungrounded variants, which refer to whether the measuring point is welded to the sheath (grounded) or not (ungrounded). There are benefits, but also some tradeoffs, of using grounded vs. ungrounded thermocouples. …
