Meet WIKA’s Hard-Working, Customizable Industrial Pressure Sensors
Robert Lukat | PressureMany applications depend on industrial pressure sensors to convert pressure into standard signals. A reliable pressure instrument minimizes equipment and process downtimes, and creates less work for field technicians — saving end users valuable money and time. …
What to Know about Aging and Drift in Type K Thermocouples
Robert Torgerson | Know-how, TemperatureWith repeated exposure to high temperatures, a Type K thermocouple becomes less accurate. Aging is a phenomenon that results in higher-than-accurate temperature readings, while drift results in lower-than-accurate readings. While all Type K thermocouples experience …
Case Study: Custom Pressure Sensor Withstands Aggressive Chlorinated Gas Environment
Patrick McGrath | PressureFor a leader in industrial flow equipment and services, one specific application was causing significant difficulties for their end user. The harsh environment – high-temperature chlorinated gas for fiber optic production – was causing half of their pressure …
Diaphragm Seals Improve Reliability in Bioethanol Production
Ravi Jethra | Know-howIn bioethanol production processes, engineers must closely monitor pressure, temperature, level, and flow in order to ensure safe and efficient operations. Diaphragm seals in these applications do double duty: protect pressure measurement instruments from the medium, …
