Low-level flue gas recovery allows refineries to improve their heaters’ efficiency. However, this process could lead to the condensation of flue gases, and these acidic droplets can corrode equipment. For optimal safety and efficiency, refineries must monitor …
When installing thermowells in a pipeline, a user must first answer several questions regarding their location, quantity, stem length, distance from each another, and effects on the process media. Thermowells are highly effective devices for protecting …
Type K, Type J, Type N – the list of thermocouple types seems like an alphabet soup. And as technology improves and manufacturers come up with more options, it can be hard to keep track of all the various names and classifications. This article outlines the 11 most …
Even the best laboratory tests cannot duplicate real-life conditions, and testing in active processes is sometimes inefficient and even impossible. To test measuring instruments under specific conditions and configurations, WIKA USA built its own full-size process unit …
Part 1 of this series covered three of the seven factors to consider when choosing the right RTD or thermocouple for a measuring point in a process. Here are the remaining four factors. Like the internal process, ambient conditions often significantly impact …
