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 …
Combined Measurements in Mobile Working Machines: A Two-in-one Level Sensor and Temperature Sensor
| Jeff Placek | LevelA growing trend in the mobile machine sector is to combine measuring instrumentation. This shift makes sense, as a level sensor combined with a temperature sensor, or a pressure–temperature transmitter, can provide extra data much easier and at a lower cost than …
Helical Design Minimizes Vortex Formation and Mechanical Fatigue in Thermowells
| Jessica Woodside | Know-howThe helical design has been used in a variety of applications to dampen flow-induced forces that can damage equipment. WIKA uses the same concept to stabilize thermowells and as an efficient and economical way to prevent thermowell mechanical fatigue and failure. One …
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, …
