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 […]
