Not every application is the same, so you need to get the right equipment for your specific needs. When it comes to temperature measurement, inaccurate readings can severely impact your process. So, how can you ensure you are correctly and reliably monitoring temperature?

Thermowells are essential to protecting your thermometer or temperature sensor in your high-pressure or high-temperature applications. They can protect your investment and keep your measurements accurate, no matter how extreme the environment. One of the top questions we receive here at Ashcroft from those in the temperature measurement industry is how to properly fit a thermowell. What measurements are needed? What is a u-dimension and how does it factor in? Many factors are at play, and it can be easy to get the wrong size if you aren’t paying attention.

Accurate and reliable pressure measurements are crucial to maintaining the efficiency of your low-pressure applications, such as in cleanrooms and isolation rooms. For these critical applications in the health industry, inaccurate measurements could result in the contamination of your entire process. How can you ensure your pressure transducer can handle your low-pressure environment?

When using a thermowell, it’s important to ensure that it will work in the application. Wake turbulence caused by your process could break the thermowell and damage your temperature equipment. How can you ensure your thermowell is adequate? Calculating thermowell wake frequency can help. In this article, I will explain what thermowell wake frequency is and how to calculate it.

I was recently involved in an industrial project for a client’s critical application that required RTDs and thermocouples. The buyer’s main concern seemed to be the cost, assuming that all temperature sensors probably cost the same. However, not all applications are the same, and not all temperature sensors are created equal, so prices can vary. The prices of RTDs and thermocouples are determined by a number of factors, including the applications for which they’re being used and the temperatures in which they’re working.
