For high pressure polyethylene applications, reliable temperature and pressure measurement with extremely fast response time, is crucial in order to avoid decomposition. Furthermore instrumentation must withstand not only the high pressures and temperatures, but also the vibration present in such a challenging environment. The requirements of temperature and pressure instrumentation include high quality mineral insulated cable, production techniques such as vacuum brazing and thin film sputtering as well as testing facilities. With this information, operators will be able to select high pressure thermocouples and pressure transmitters which are specifically designed for their application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
