How Ambient Conditions Affect Instrument Accuracy and What You Can Do About It

Instrumentation systems are designed to provide precise, reliable data for process control. But even the most advanced sensors can give incorrect readings if exposed to harsh or variable ambient conditions. Factors like temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and mechanical vibration can significantly impact accuracy, stability, and sensor life. This article explores how ambient conditions affect […]

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) Vs Thermocouples

In 1821 a German physicist named Seebeck discovered the thermoelectric effect which forms the basis of modern thermocouple technology. He observed that an electric current flows in a closed circuit of two dissimilar metals if their two junctions are at different temperatures. The thermoelectric voltage produced depends on the metals used and on the temperature […]
What is a Thermowell

What is a Thermowell? Different Types of Thermowells & their applications?

Introduction A thermowell is an important component in temperature measurement systems. It protects temperature sensors, such as thermocouples or RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors), from harsh environmental conditions, mechanical damage, and process media like gases or liquids. Thermowells ensure that temperature readings are accurate while extending the life of sensors, especially in demanding industrial environments. In […]

Industrial Thermocouples – Types and Applications

Introduction In many industries, temperature measurement is used for ensuring product quality, safety, and efficiency. There are so many temperature sensing devices available in the market. Among them thermocouples are widely used due to their reliability, simplicity, and versatility. Thermocouples convert temperature into an electrical signal, which can be interpreted by control systems to monitor […]
