Extreme Cold Calls for Reliable Low-Temperature Resistance Thermometer
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureThe majority of new oil and gas fields are concentrated in Siberia and northern Canada. The increase in extraction activity in these regions, along with the need to process the oil and gas locally, has resulted in a growing demand for temperature measurement solutions …
From Extreme Heat to Arctic Cold: WIKA’s Replaceable Thermocouple and RTD Temperature Sensor
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureWhen reactors or pipelines are located in extremely hot or cold conditions, they must be insulated in order to keep the process media within an optimal temperature range. This insulation, however, makes it time-consuming and expensive for operators to replace a …
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 …
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 …
