| Adam DeLanceyA product with FM Approval means it has undergone very rigorous testing and met extremely high standards for safety and reliability. That’s why WIKA was thrilled when our T15 and T16 temperature transmitter assemblies – not just certain components – received FM …
The Value of Using Averaging Resistance Temperature Detectors in HVAC Applications
| Patrick McGrathWhen it comes to HVAC temperature measurements, a single point sometimes is not enough. An averaging RTD measures temperature along a duct or across a sectional area, resulting in more accurate information about the overall conditions inside HVAC units. …
The Value of Ambient Temperature Monitoring in Industrial Plants
| Ravi JethraPeople, machinery, and products are best if they’re kept within a certain temperature range. Too much heat is especially a concern for equipment and perishables. That's why ambient temperature monitoring should be high on an industrial plant's to-do list. When …
Temperature Sensors, Thermowells, and Response Times
| Adam DeLanceyThermowells protect temperature sensors from harsh media. On the downside, these fittings increase the thermal response time. Therefore, knowing precisely what that response time is becomes a key factor in controlling processes and systems. In the real …
