What is TPR and How is it Performed?
Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) is a material characterization process commonly used in catalysis studies to examine the surface chemistry of metals and metal oxides under varying thermal conditions. TPR-enabled mass spectrometry equipment can acquire quantitative and qualitative data relating to
New Products: Thermal Technology
Watlow [ Posted 2020-06 ]TR Series Radio Frequency Thermocouple Probe is designed for usein plasma generation applications to ensure accurate temperature readings through radio or conduction environments where traditional sensors are ineffective. Radio frequency energy can cause serious temperaturemeasurement errors.Datasheet
How to Select Fuses for a Temperature Control Loop
A customer asked recently: what type of fuses should I use with my new fan and closed-loop temperature control system? First, we always recommend you consult with an electrician or electrical engineer. That said, you need a branch protection fuse,
Closed Loop Temperature Control: a Basic Electric Oven Retrofit
To create a Closed Loop Temperature Control circuit you need at least 4 things, usually 5: 1) Heater 2) Power Switch 3) Controller 4) Sensor 5) Limit Controller with additional sensor (optional but highly recommended) Heater: This already exists in
Kalrez® Perfluorelastomers: How to Select the Right Compound
“Kalrez®” was the first high performance perfluoroelastomer designed for plasma, high temperature, and wet process applications, and was introduced in the 1970s. Many users think of Kalrez® in a similar way we have all come to think of “Kleenex®” –
Extend Service Life of ISO-KF Seals in High Temperature Applications
You can extend service life of ISO-KF seals in high temperature applications by switching from generic fluoroelastomers (FKM) such as Viton, to perfluoroelastomers (FFKM), and by ensuring the seal is properly sized. ISO-KF (or ISO-QF or ISO-NW) type flange seals
Choosing Between Two-LEG and Three-LEG Control for 3-Phase Applications
If you wish to control 3-phase heaters require power controllers, how do you decide which method of control to select? ‘Two-leg versus three-leg control’ and ‘zero cross versus phase-angle control need to be considered.’ The following will help you decide when each method
Set Up Your Temperature Controller Properly for Accurate Readings
Serious errors in calibration and display can result if the wrong sensor type is selected on the controller versus what is actually wired to it. Only a physical check of sensor wire and sensor prompts can detect this condition. A
Power Control Devices: Selecting the Best Switching Method
There are many factors to consider when choosing a power control device. The role of the output device is to receive a signal from the temperature controller and switch electric current ON and OFF to the heater. When possible, it
