For High-Vibration Applications, Use Rugged Pt100 Sensors
| Ravi Jethra | TemperatureTurbines, pumps, and compressors produce significant vibrations, which can lead temperature measurement instruments to give incorrect readings and cause premature sensor failure. Pt100 RTDs can withstand several times more vibration than standard elements, making them …
WIKA’s Cut-to-Length RTD Sensor Minimizes Downtime, Saves Money
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureRTD sensors are robust temperature measurement devices used in many applications across multiple industries. However, like any other industrial instrumentation, they will fail – regardless of their robustness or the environment – after years of service. WIKA …
Overview of Analogue and Digital Temperature Transmitters
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureWIKA offers a wide range of reliable and robust temperature transmitters to convert the input signals from temperature measurement devices, such as RTDs and thermocouples, into digital or analogue output signals. Make sure you have the right ones for your specific …
What You Need to Know About Industrial Resistance Thermometers
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureWire-wound and thin-film resistors are widely used in industrial thermometers. It is important to choose a temperature device with the appropriate material, design, and configuration that meet requirements and comply with the DIN EN 60751 standard for resistance …
