Easy Upgrades: WIKA Designs Temperature Transmitter Programming Units To Be Backwards Compatible
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureWIKA’s temperature transmitter programming units allow quick and easy configuration of temperature measuring instruments that use our internal protocol. The PU-448 and PU-548 are backwards compatible, which means customers avoid unnecessary replacements when they …
The TR10 and TR40 RTDs: The Industrial Thermometers for High-Vibration Applications
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureSome shaking is expected in industrial and commercial applications, but the sensors of most industrial thermometers fail after exposure to significant vibrations. WIKA’s TR10 and TR40 resistance temperature detectors are specially designed for high-vibration …
Pt100 and Pt1000 Sensors: Important Facts and Differences
Adam DeLancey | Know-how, TemperatureMany industries use RTDs for measuring temperature, and the sensor in the majority of those devices are either Pt100 or Pt1000. These two temperature sensors have similar characteristics, but their difference in nominal resistance may determine which one you choose for …
Wire-Wound vs. Thin-Film Resistance Temperature Detector: Which Is Better?
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureMany process applications rely on either a wire-wound or thin-film resistance temperature detector (RTD) to provide efficient and safe operations. These two types of resistance thermometers have different properties, and each has its pros and cons. In reality, this is …
