Answers to questions to help explain the operation of RTD sensors and the pros and cons of negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensors and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) sensors based on platinum, such as the Pt100 and Pt1000. Resistance temperature …
Questions and answers about why resistance temperature detectors are ideal for many refining, processing, and manufacturing applications, and what to keep in mind when choosing the RTDs that meet your specifications. Accurate temperature measurement is …
Questions and answers about how RTDs measure temperature changes by tracking the variation in electrical resistance in metal wires. The resistance values of the metal wires are known, so resistance value changes are an accurate proxy for temperature changes. A …
Industrial Thermocouple - choosing the right one. The answer to the question “what kind of thermocouple?” depends on several factors relating to the process to be monitored, such as its compatibility with the media/process environment, frequency and accuracy of …
Temperature control is a critical factor for reactor vessels in the refining and chemicals industry. The catalysts that convert the process oil in these reactors work best in very specific temperature ranges, and too high or too low a temperature can have a noticeable …
