WIKA’s ScrutonWell® Reduces Vibration to Provide Accurate, Rapid Thermometer Response Time
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureA thermowell is a protective housing for a thermometer used to provide temperature readings for an industrial process. Given that process media in many industries are corrosive, abrasive or under high pressure, a thermometer is placed inside a thermowell so the …
Choosing the Optimal Pressure Range for Pressure Sensors
| Robert Lukat | Know-how, PressureWhen choosing a pressure sensor, one of the many factors to consider is its measuring range. Having the optimal range avoids the risk of overpressure without a loss of accuracy or resolution. Pressure sensors play a key role in the safety and efficiency of …
