The TR10 and TR40 RTDs: The Industrial Thermometers for High-Vibration Applications
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureSome shaking is expected in industrial and commercial applications, but the sensors of most industrial thermometers fail after exposure to significant vibrations. WIKA’s TR10 and TR40 resistance temperature detectors are specially designed for high-vibration …
Wire-Wound vs. Thin-Film Resistance Temperature Detector: Which Is Better?
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureMany process applications rely on either a wire-wound or thin-film resistance temperature detector (RTD) to provide efficient and safe operations. These two types of resistance thermometers have different properties, and each has its pros and cons. In reality, this is …
Extreme Cold Calls for Reliable Low-Temperature Resistance Thermometer
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureThe majority of new oil and gas fields are concentrated in Siberia and northern Canada. The increase in extraction activity in these regions, along with the need to process the oil and gas locally, has resulted in a growing demand for temperature measurement solutions …
From Extreme Heat to Arctic Cold: WIKA’s Replaceable Thermocouple and RTD Temperature Sensor
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureWhen reactors or pipelines are located in extremely hot or cold conditions, they must be insulated in order to keep the process media within an optimal temperature range. This insulation, however, makes it time-consuming and expensive for operators to replace a …
