Sugar can derive from two different plant sources: sugar beets and sugar cane. The first ones are harvested in mid to late autumn when sugar content peaks. The leafy beet tops are sliced off and the roots are lifted out of the ground with special harvesting equipment....
Temperature affects many things in our daily lives, from the foods we cook to the comfort level of our homes and the clothes we select for the weather each day. Temperature also plays an important role in the manufacturing process of many different products, either in...
Emerson recommended Rosemount X-well Technology with Rosemount 3144P Temperature Transmitter for ammonia production applications to improve measurement accuracy and reduce safety risks due to errors in readings.
Outdated technologies and practices can become obstacles to effective operation, but advanced pressure and temperature instrumentation provides solutions.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.
Unlike pressure and flow measurement, temperature measurement can be much more complex given what is being measured. Fluids have thermal inertia characteristics which determine their temperature rate of change. In a Process Heating article, Instrumentation Solves...
When it comes to measuring temperature, there are a multitude of ways to do this. Do-it-yourselfers might use simple RTD or thermocouple sensors right into a microcontroller and display to provide basic temperature readings for their grills and BBQ pits. Or they could...
One quick example of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in action is temperature measurement. Traditionally, these measurements included piping or vessel penetrations, thermowells installed, RTD or thermocouple sensing elements and transmitters,...
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...
As technology has advanced in power and sophistication, its ability to self-diagnose and perform predictive diagnostics has too. In a Plant Engineering article, Using diagnostic functions to improve system safety, Emerson's Mark Menezes shares examples of how these...
A key part of the Industrial Internet of Things is the sensors that provide the measurements that feed decisions and actions. At the Emerson Exchange conference in Austin, Emerson's Cheng Vue presented, When the Heat is On, Control with Wireless. His abstract: Many...
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...
Update: Download the whitepaper, Achieve Accurate Process Temperature Measurement with Surface Sensor Innovation for more on the Rosemount X-well technology. Original post: In an earlier post, Online Calculation Tool for Thermowell Installations, we shared ways to...
