Temperature is a critical factor in almost all manufacturing and refining processes. As such, process plants have developed a variety of useful technologies related to accurate temperature measurement and control in their operations . Heat tracing is one well-known …
Petrochemical plants use steam crackers to convert ethane into more useful ethylene. This energy-intensive process calls for maintaining very high temperature measurement within a relatively narrow range. The conversion of ethylene is poor if the temperature is …
Thermocouples are rugged and respond quickly to temperature changes. When sheathed, these temperature measurement instruments are extremely resistant to vibration, mechanical stresses, and aggressive/corrosive media. Because they’re small and highly bendable, …
This blog provides an introduction to the basic principles of temperature measurement and an overview of common instruments for measuring temperature in industrial applications today. Accurate temperature measurement is a requirement for almost all modern industrial …
Temperature control is a critical factor for reactor vessels in the refining and chemicals industry. The catalysts that convert the process oil in these reactors work best in very specific temperature ranges, and too high or too low a temperature can have a noticeable …
