WIKA Launches High-Performance Liquid-Filled Pressure Gauge for Extremely Low Temperatures
| Hardy Orzikowski | PressurePressure gauges in general can handle ambient temperatures as low as − 40°F ( − 40°C). However, once you get closer to the Arctic Circle, temperatures exceeding − 40°F become the norm. Even in these extreme conditions, you will find many operations – …
How to Prevent False Alarms in Industrial Thermocouples
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureElectrical temperature measuring instruments have an alarm that warns operators of a malfunction, such as an open circuit. However, loose wires or a broken terminal block can cause the alarm to sound, even though the device itself is fine. To prevent such false alarms, …
