                                  What is Thermocouple and How Does it Work? What is Thermocouple? The thermocouple is a kind of temperature sensor that is made by joining two different types of metals at one end. The heat is applied to the junction of the metals after which a voltage develops across the metals which is in correlation with the temperature. One end of the thermocouple is connected to the measuring junction, the body whose temperature is to be measured. The other junction is connected to the reference junction, the body with an unknown temperature. The thermocouple takes reference from the measuring junction to measure the temperature of the unknown body. The robustness and cost-effectiveness of thermocouples make them applicable across a wide range of temperature measurements. A thermocouple is available in many shapes and forms. Some of the commonly used styles are thermocouple probe...

Difference Between Gauge Pressure and Absolute Pressure

  When you’re cutting fruit with a knife, the surface area of its edge is small, therefore, that creates a higher pressure to cut through the object. Similarly, when a vacuum cleaner is switched on, the fan installed inside it creates low pressure in the equipment which facilitates the inward pulling of any dirt particles inside the device. In both these cases, you hear about the term called “ pressure ”. What is Pressure? In Physics, pressure is defi n ed as the force exerted perpendicularly per unit area. It is a scalar quantity and is denoted by the units Pascal (SI) which is equal to one Newton per square meter (N/m2, or kg·m−1·s−2). It can also be represented by the units atm, torr, bar, pound-force, etc. The standard formula for pressure is p = F/A. Where F is the force applied and A is the area that bears it. Hydrostatic pressure , also known as formation pressure or reservoir pressure is the pressure of fluids in a hydrocarbon reservoir, calculated on the basis of reservoir...

What is Thermowell? Thermowell Types & Application

  A thermowell is a protection for the temperature sensors in the form of cylindrical shaped pressure-tight fittings. It is used to protect the temperature sensors which are inserted into vessels and pipes for being used in different industrial applications. It is used to create a barrier between the process media and sensing element as the process media can be corrosive and can negatively impact the sensing element. Moreover, it protects the sensing elements from fluid velocity and pressure. Thermowell Types: 1. Threaded Thermowell They are usually used in smaller pipes where the temperature of the non-corrosive fluid is measured. Threaded thermowell is screwed in the pipe for use and generally does not require replacements. 2. Flanges Weld Thermowell As the name suggests, flanged thermowell is flanged at the top end. It is connected to the pipe using nuts and bolts. It is mostly used in applications that require frequent replacements and involve high temperatures. 3. Socket Weld...

Pressure Transmitter – Types & Accuracy

 What is a Pressure Transmitter? Pressure transmitters , also known as pressure transducers, are used in industrial and process applications to measure the pressure of liquids, fluids, and gases in different working equipment. These transmitters are a vital component in process industries, especially the oil & gas industry which deals with a variety of fluids and gases. Types of Pressure Transmitters 1. Gauge Pressure Transmitter As the name suggests they measure the gauge pressure with respect to the atmospheric pressure. These types of transmitters are widely used in process industries as they involve the use of liquid and gases. The need to keep their pressure under check makes gauge pressure transmitter a vital component of the industry. 2.  Absolute Transmitters These transmitters are used to measure pressure with respect to full vacuum. Basically, the media under measurement is placed in a sealed chamber to create a reference to absolute vacuum. These absolute pressu...

Advantages & Types of Diaphragm Seal

  What is Diaphragm Seal? Diaphragm seal system consists of a Pressure Instruments, Fill fluid and Diaphragm seal direct mounting type or capillary type. In process a flexible diaphragm and filling fluid separate the pressure instruments from process media, temperature or service. When process pressure acts on diaphragm, diaphragm displacement transfers the measured pressure through the filled system. This transferred pressure displaces the pressure sensing element of Pressure Instruments. Diaphragm seal is used to seal and safeguard instrument from the process medium. The flexibility of the seal is as such that, the diaphragm, seals the contents safely at the same time permeating the instrument to measure the pressure accurately. Diaphragms seals are in general used with other devices and instruments including  pressure gauges , transmitters and switches. This combination can be used in extreme and harsh environmental conditions. The fact that they can isolate instruments fro...
