This article is a continuation of “ How Butter-Pad Affects Tubeskin Thermocouple Accuracy .” WIKA conducted a series of tests – both in the field and using computational fluid dynamics – to evaluate the accuracy of tubeskin thermocouples (TSTCs) when …
A butter-pad allows refineries to weld new thermocouples onto it rather than directly on the bare furnace tube, as repeated welding damages the tube’s integrity. However, using this weld overlay affects the accuracy of temperature readings. WIKA conducted a series of …
Low-level flue gas recovery allows refineries to improve their heaters’ efficiency. However, this process could lead to the condensation of flue gases, and these acidic droplets can corrode equipment. For optimal safety and efficiency, refineries must monitor …
