Solve 6 Leading Pressure and Temperature Measurement Issues Using Advanced Instrumentation
Outdated technologies and practices can become obstacles to effective operation, but advanced pressure and temperature instrumentation provides solutions. Avoid process upsets and reduce safety risks by finding solutions to six common pressure and temperature measurement issues.
Reducing Thermowell Dynamic Stress Forces
Thermowells are traditionally a circular cylinder installed into the piping to protect the temperature sensors from the flow. From an Emerson whitepaper, Thermowell Calculations: As a process fluid passes around the thermowell, low pressure vortices are created on the...
Reduce Flow-Induced Thermowell Mechanical Stress
Thermowells, as tubular fittings in pipes and vessels, provide protection for temperature measurement devices. As we highlighted in a post from several years back, New Thermowell Calculations Help Avoid Damaging Resonance, they are subject to the stresses and strains...
Accurate Piping Surface Temperature Measurement
We see the impact of the Internet of Things in our homes with devices like thermostats that we can control from our mobile devices. And we see it in industrial processes with the ever expanding variety of sensing devices to improve the safety, efficiency and...
Temperature Measurement Installation Best Practices
My friends managing the Rosemount brand of temperature measurement products have an upcoming series of webinars on installation best practices. These webinars are available in your region of the world no matter where you're located. Emerson's Ryan Leino will describe...
How to Choose the Right Thermowell
Let's continue our series of posts on the educational temperature measurement videos from Emerson's team managing the Rosemount brand of products and services. You can find the complete set of videos on the Temperature Insights page. Thermowells shield thermocouples...
Online Calculation Tool for Thermowell Installations
Back in 1974, the ASME (founded as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers) published a performance technology standard for thermowell calculations as well as overall temperature measurement best practices, PTC 19.3. Based on decades of industry and research...
New Thermowell Calculations Help Avoid Damaging Resonance
Last week, I visited our Emerson division that makes the Rosemount brand family of instrumentation. One of the things I learned coming out of those meetings was a new release of thermowell design standards. For those not already familiar with a thermowell, it's...
