Selecting the appropriate temperature sensor depends on several factors:
- Temperature Range: Ensure the sensor can operate within the expected temperature range of the catalytic process. - Accuracy and Precision: Consider the required level of accuracy and precision. RTDs generally offer higher accuracy compared to thermocouples. - Response Time: For processes with rapid temperature changes, sensors with fast response times, like thermocouples, are preferred. - Environmental Conditions: The sensor material should withstand the chemical environment and any potential corrosive agents. - Installation and Maintenance: Ease of installation and maintenance can influence the choice of sensor, especially in industrial settings.
