For use when standard thermowell design fails the ASME PTC 19.3 calculation

Kobe, Japan –  End Users Thermowell specifications today include the phrase ASME PTC 19.3 that some suppliers and users wrongly use the word standard against this reference. Okazaki Manufacturing Company (OMC) fully recognise that ASME PTC 19.3 is in fact an ASME Performance Test Code not a design standard and should only be used to prove a standard thermowell design is suitable for the process conditions. continue reading »

Revolutionary wireless temperature sensing solutions for harsh environments specifically tailored new applications in critical equipment monitoring & process control
MOUGINS, FRANCE — SENSeOR has announced three unique wireless temperature sensing solutions based on SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) sensors particularly designed for the most demanding industrial applications.

More than a rudimentary wireless measure, SENSeOR’s innovative solutions own a very special feature: they are totally passive. Sensors are indeed only powered by the energy of radio waves emitted by the associated reader unit when remotely interrogating the devices in real-time.

The ensuing benefits are then unique!

First of all, without any batteries nor active electronic components at sensor level, these cutting-edge sensing solutions are perfectly appropriate for use in explosive atmospheres or irradiated environments at temperatures reaching +175°C today (current in-house R&D efforts target +350°C) with almost unlimited autonomy.
