In industrial process engineering applications, temperature transmitters act as a link between temperature sensors in the process and the higher levels of automation.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) begins with obtaining data from field-located sensors. The reason is simple: These devices supply the information required for taking corrective action.

As part of an expansion plan, the sensor technology business of Heraeus will operate under a new name. Heraeus Nexensos platinum temperature sensors can be used to measure and regulate thermal processes up to 1922°F (1050°C).

Microgel machine-side chiller/temperature control units (TCUs) with digital controls display and record historical process cooling energy data.

Suppliers of automation and instrumentation systems to process plants sometimes stress the technologies embedded in their products and services, but focusing on technology alone does not solve problems. End users know this and are usually much more interested in specific applications and use cases than technology details.

Noncontact temperature measurement is a key process metric in many industries, but there are many factors that influence accurate temperature measurement from a pyrometer. Here we look at the common influences on inaccurate temperature measurement.

Models OM-CP-Temp1000IS-A and OM-CP-RHTemp1000IS-A offer a compact design and portability. 

Panel meters with bright-color TFT smart graphics displays are available in three screen sizes.

Digital insulation cover monitors temperatures, evaluates health status and notifies upon deviation from the norm.
