Bearing Temperature
The stabilized operating temperature of a bearing is the result of many factors. The key influences on operational temperature are bearing style, lubrication type, operational factors, environmental conditions and level of maintenance The particular bearing style (ball, roller, sleeve, etc.), the shaft mounting style (slip fit, adapter mounted, press fit, etc.) and auxiliary items (housings, […]
Bayonet RTD In Depth
Bayonet RTD Bayonet RTDs, Thermistors and Thermocouple temperature sensors are commonly used in extruder and plastic processing industries. These sensors provide accurate temperature control for the best plasticizing combination of plastic material, mold and design. Bayonet RTD temperature sensors are available in 6 configurations; Adjustable Immersion Bayonet on Flex Armor Bayonet on Flex Armor with […]
RTD Sensor Accuracy and Tolerance Standards
RTD Sensor Accuracy and Tolerance Standards The industry standard for platinum RTD’s according to IEC-751 is + /- 0.12% (of resistance) at 0°C, commonly referred to as Class B accuracy. This will provide an accuracy of + /- 0.3°C at 0°C, which is quite good if you compare it to the + /- 2.2°C […]
The Story of Temperature
What is Temperature? In a qualitative manner, we can describe the temperature of an object as that which determines the sensation of warmth or coldness felt from contact with it. It is easy to demonstrate that when two objects of the same material are placed together (physicists say when they are put in thermal contact), […]
Food Processing Temperature Sensor
A bimetal bayonet style thermometer with a dial face scale with a range of -18 to 105°C (0 to 220°F) may be used for certain applications in food temperature measurement. The scale must be in 1°C increments. The dial face should be a minimum of about 1 inch in diameter and is usually available in […]
RTD vs. Thermocouple
Selecting The Right Sensor: Imagine that you are an Instrumentation Engineer. You are looking at the prints for a new plant, and you see the many locations marked out for temperature transducers. You ask yourself; What has been specified to fill each space? RTD for their high accuracy and linearity? Or thermocouples because of their […]
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensors & Pyros
Measure Exhast Gas Temperature (EGT) Exhaust gas temperature is a measure of heat in the cylinder during combustion, and is most commonly measured close to the head. Since all metals melt, deform, or undergo transformation under excessive temperatures for that particular metal, it is easy to have too high of EGT and cause damage to […]
