What Are Bimetal Thermometers, and When to Use Them
Daniel Burch | Know-how, TemperatureBimetal 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 …
How Multipoint Thermocouple Arrays in Amine Units Increase Production and Prevent Failures
Alina Green | Applications, TemperatureAmine units are critical to the operations of refineries and chemical plants. If a unit fails due to corrosion, condensation and foaming, or another issue, the entire productivity and safety of the facility is imperiled. Temperature measurement solutions allow …
The Vital Role of Temperature in Amine Columns for Treating Natural Gas
Alina Green | Applications, TemperatureThe function of an amine unit is to remove unwanted sulfur compounds and carbon dioxide from raw natural gas before it is sold and used. Proper temperature control plays a crucial role in how well the amine solution absorbs acid gases, as well as prevent issues that …
Preventing Thermal Runaway Reactions with Fast-Response Sensors
Alina Green | Know-how, TemperatureThermal 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. …
