Industrial Thermocouple – How to Choose the Right One
| Adam DeLanceyIndustrial 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 Gayesco-WIKA Flex-R Multipoint System Enables Major Cost Savings
| Robert TorgersonTemperature 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
| Adam DeLanceyThe 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 …
WIKA Quick Ship Program Offers Thermocouple Replacement Within Five Days
| Adam DeLanceyIf you don’t have a thermocouple replacement part in stock, you don’t have to let your critical processes sit idle while you wait for a new one to arrive. In the past, you may have experienced long lead times for getting the electrical temperature measurement …
