Insulating gases – not just pure SF 6 but also SF 6 blends, N2, g3, and others – protect switchgear from failure. WIKA is a leader in remote sensing solutions that help power transmission and distribution companies monitor the quality and quantity of these gases. …
Bimetal thermometers are tried-and-true instruments for measuring temperature in a wide range of industrial applications, combining low cost and low maintenance with easy installation, use, and calibration. Sometimes a measurement technology is so simple yet …
Thermal runaway reactions are one of the leading causes of accidents in chemical and petrochemical plants. To prevent such catastrophes, operators should continually monitor temperatures using sensors with the fastest possible response time for that application. …
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 …
