Five Things to Take into Account When Measuring Temperature with Thermocouples
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureThermocouples are popular temperature measurement devices due to their versatility, responsiveness, ruggedness, and low cost. To make the most of them, here are five things you should know about industrial thermocouple assemblies. Thermocouples are the workhorses …
How Green Rot Affects Type K Thermocouples
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureGreen 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 …
