Industrial Thermocouple – How to Choose the Right One
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureIndustrial 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 …
Long-Term Planning with the Gayesco Flex-R® Multipoint System Enables Major Cost Savings
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureTemperature 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 …
Getting to the Bottom of a RTD Sensor Reading Delay
Gabriel Gonzales | TemperatureThe 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 …
