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 …
WIKA has long been a top manufacturer of temperature sensors and temperature measurement solutions. After the company acquired Gayesco International, WIKA USA greatly increased its capabilities and expertise in temperature measurement for the petrochemical and refining …
Reforming reactions in syngas (synthesis gas) plants require high heat, which takes a toll on the lifespan of furnace tubes. The higher the temperature, the shorter the tube life. Using a simple formula based on temperature measurements over time, plant operators can …
Cracking furnaces in refineries operate under extreme conditions. To perform at their best, hydrocracking units rely on sophisticated temperature measurement systems. WIKA USA offers a complete portfolio of accurate and reliable temperature measurement solutions for …
There is a direct relationship between tubeskin temperature measurement and hydrocracker performance. Too-high or too-low temperatures can lead to slowdowns, shutdowns, furnace tube failures, and other costly losses. To improve bottom-line performance, refineries need …
