Power Equipment Temperature Monitoring Helps to Keep the Lights On
Wind storms, lightning storms and system overloads within power equipment are often major culprits when it comes to prolonged area-wide power failures. But increasingly effective controls have been developed to help prevent and minimize damage that can occur within equipment providing us with power. Power Equipment Safeguards Voltage irregularities, damage to equipment and overheated system [...]
Industrial Temperature Monitoring: Building Better Sensors
Precision temperature monitoring is critical within countless industrial processes and vital to the safe and efficient operation of a wide range of industrial machinery. Over time, rugged and reliable temperature sensors such as the thermocouple, thermistor and a variety of resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) have been developed to provide accurate and consistent temperature measurement under [...]
Industrial Temperature Monitoring Equipment Must Meet High Standards
Countless industries rely on precision temperature monitoring equipment to ensure the safety and efficacy of their products and processes. Petrochemical plants, nuclear facilities and medical laboratories are just a few of the sectors in which accurate, reliable temperature measuring, monitoring and reporting are critical functions. Temperature probes, temperature sensors and data logging equipment have been [...]
Vigilant Temperature Monitoring Helps to Prevent Machine Bearing Failures
Bearings are critical to the functionality of countless industrial applications. Coming in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, bearings can be found in apparatuses such as generators, large turbine engines and paper mill machinery. The negative effects of extreme heat on bearings are well understood within manufacturing and industrial circles. Intense or sustained heat [...]
Thermocouple Most Popular among Top Temperature Sensors
The thermocouple, thermistor and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are the three most commonly-used industrial temperature sensors. Out of the three, thermocouples are the most popular. They are versatile, sturdy, cost effective and able to measure a wide range of temperatures in some of the most demanding environments. A Look at the “Top 3” Meticulous temperature [...]
Calibration Key to Accurate Temperature Readings
Accurate temperature monitoring can be critical to the safety of product, property and personnel. The potential volatility of the activities within petroleum plants, chemical processing plants and nuclear power facilities make these industries dependable on stable and reliable temperature measuring equipment. Accidents that have occurred within these industries over the years have been well-documented. Often [...]
Use of Thermocouples or Thermistors Depends on Temperature Range
The ability to accurately measure temperature and record the resulting data has long been a critically important function within a multitude of industries. For example, the processes that take place in steel manufacturing, nuclear facilities and petroleum plants must be carefully monitored for temperature stability. If temperatures should spike out of range during the course [...]
Industry Relies On Dependable Temperature Measuring Devices
Temperature measuring equipment on an industrial scale must be extremely accurate and consistent. The technology that goes into industrial temperature monitoring is much different than the direct-indicating mercury thermometers that we use daily to measure body and air temperature. Industrial temperature measuring instruments are much more sophisticated and sensitive. Following are brief descriptions of some [...]
