Thermowells protect temperature sensors from harsh media. On the downside, these fittings increase the thermal response time. Therefore, knowing precisely what that response time is becomes a key factor in controlling processes and systems. In the real …
WIKA’s GLS-1000 incorporates the best of both worlds: the simple design and operating principle of the mechanical float switch, but with modern digital switching technology. For even more functionality, it can come with a temperature sensor. This innovative yet …
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 …
A growing trend in the mobile machine sector is to combine measuring instrumentation. This shift makes sense, as a level sensor combined with a temperature sensor, or a pressure–temperature transmitter, can provide extra data much easier and at a lower cost than …
