Location of Measurement Displays

The measurement is displayed for observation by plant personnel.  Typically, the display uses analog principles, which means that the display presents the measurement as a position in a graphical format,…

Level Troll working principle

Level Troll working principle An interesting design problem for displacement-type level transmitters is how to transfer the sensed weight of the displacer to the transmitter mechanism while positively sealing process…

Why We use Shielded Cable and Twisted Pair Cables ?

Using shielded cable and/or twisted pair wire is a fairly simple and effective method of reducing measurement noise in low-level signals. Internal wires are shielded from external electric fields in…

How to select a load cell?

The following information is designed to assist in obtaining or providing the necessary information required to select a suitable standard load cell or provide the details required to offer a…

Thermocouples Sources of Error

Homogeneity (Wire Uniformity) With thermocouples the main error lies not with stem conduction but with errors arising from inhomogeneity of the thermocouple wire. Therefore for reliable and consistent results the…

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) Sources of Error

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) Sources of Error Immersion Error - Stem Conduction With the calibration of industrial platinum resistance thermometers (RTD) stem conduction is likely to be the main source…
