Pressure and temperature instrument dials with big, bright numbers increase instrument visibility and readability. WIKA USA’s retro-reflective dial background makes it even easier to locate a critical installation among the sea of industrial gauges, adding to the …
Refineries rely on multipoint thermocouples to monitor temperature at different points inside fixed-bed reactors. However, these temperature measurement systems are also extremely useful for evaluating performance in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units, vapor …
Many 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 …
Refinery operators who work with fixed bed catalysts place a high value on temperature accuracy, but they also don’t want to waste time by taking unnecessary temperature readings. Thus, to better understand any radial temperature differences that may exist during …
Flow tests by the National Engineering Laboratory in Glasgow confirm that thermowells with a ScrutonWell® design suppress vortex-induced vibrations. Industrial chimneys with helical strakes stand firm, no matter how strong the winds. Numerous experiments, not to …
