Extremely high temperatures over time lead to grain growth in type K thermocouples, which can cause metal separation and thermocouple failure. Fortunately, good solutions exist for minimizing the effect of grain growth. Grain growth is a common cause of failure in …
Green rot is most pronounced when type K thermocouples are exposed to temperatures between approximately 800°C and 1,260°C (1,472°F to 2,300°F) and when there’s a low concentration of oxygen. This problem causes negative drifts, inaccurate measurements, and even …
Cracking furnaces in refineries operate under extreme conditions. To perform at their best, hydrocracking units rely on sophisticated temperature measurement systems. WIKA USA offers a complete portfolio of accurate and reliable temperature measurement solutions for …
There is a direct relationship between tubeskin temperature measurement and hydrocracker performance. Too-high or too-low temperatures can lead to slowdowns, shutdowns, furnace tube failures, and other costly losses. To improve bottom-line performance, refineries need …
Temperature transmitters convert the input signals from electronic temperature sensors, such as RTDs and thermocouples, into digital or analog output signals. Safety and efficiency require selecting the right transmitter for specific applications. Temperature …
