Green rot is most pronounced when type K thermocouples are exposed to temperatures between approximately 800°C and 1,260°C (1,472°F to 2,300°F) and when there’s a low concentration of oxygen. This problem causes negative drifts, inaccurate measurements, and even …

Overview of Analog and Digital Temperature Transmitters
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureTemperature transmitters convert the input signals from electronic temperature sensors, such as RTDs and thermocouples, into digital or analog output signals. Safety and efficiency require selecting the right transmitter for specific applications. Temperature …
Selecting an Electrical Temperature Transmitter for Mobile Machines
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureSelecting an Electrical Temperature Transmitter for mobile working machines such as tractors, harvesters, bulldozers, backhoes, mining machines, forklifts, and industrial trucks work day in and day out under extremely harsh conditions. It is important to monitor the …
WIKA V-PAD® Thermocouples Provide Accurate, Reliable Temperature Measurement in Ethylene Steam Crackers
Adam DeLancey | TemperaturePetrochemical plants use steam crackers to convert ethane into more useful ethylene. This energy-intensive process calls for maintaining very high temperature measurement within a relatively narrow range. The conversion of ethylene is poor if the temperature is …
The Benefits of Sheathed Thermocouples
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureThermocouples are rugged and respond quickly to temperature changes. When sheathed, these temperature measurement instruments are extremely resistant to vibration, mechanical stresses, and aggressive/corrosive media. Because they’re small and highly bendable, …
