The Guide explains each technology and how to choose between them.
* Protection - Protecting the measuring sensor from the external process conditions is essential when operating in harsh environments, requiring a thermowell to be used.
The Guide describes what a thermowell does and how to choose the correct option for an application.
* Data collection - getting accurate, up-to-date data is vital for ensuring optimum process performance.
The Guide covers the various technologies available for relaying data from the point of measurement to a control system, ranging from conventional 4-20mA signals through to the latest fieldbus technologies.
Available as a pdf, the guide also contains hyperlinks to a wealth of other useful sources of information on various aspects of temperature instrument selection and maintenance.
As temperature accounts for approximately half the measurements taken in industrial processes, it is essential to make sure that you select the most accurate temperature instruments for your process.
With over 125 years of experience in industrial temperature measurement, ABB is well placed to provide the expertise, products and service and support you need to help you make the right choice.
The free guide is available in PDF format.
