Sensor calibration for the oil and gas industry
In the oil and gas industry, high accuracy measurements are critical in both tank gauging and custody transfers. Since accurate measurements and valuations have a great and positive influence on refineries’ turnover, the demand for sensor calibration is increasing. Errors and imprecision in temperature measurements create uncertainty about the content volume in tanks. This affects […]
The vital role of reliable sensors
Wind farms are complex installations, and for both cost and safety reasons, they need to be monitored constantly. This necessitates the installation of multiple reliable sensors to monitor and detect possible errors or deviations in operation. If errors arise at a wind farm, they can be difficult and extremely costly to investigate and repair. Machine […]
Cryogenic storage and transportation
In the complete gas storage installation, sensors might look like just a drop in the ocean. But despite their small nature, they play a big part for safe operations in cryogenic storage and transportation of gases. Cryogenics refer to temperatures of -150° C (-238° F) and under and is used to store some gases in […]
Marine hydraulics – Optimize operations with precise temperature monitoring
Hydraulics is not only an accurate technology used in several engineering fields – it is one of the most essential and necessary elements of operations in the marine industry. By generation, control and transmission of power through the use of pressurized oil, vessels are able to operate essential features like control systems, desk machineries and […]
Tolerance classes for sensors according to IEC 60751
The international standard IEC 60751 specifies the requirements and temperature/resistance relationship for industrial platinum temperature sensors. The standard was revised by the IEC in 2008 and again in 2022 – revisions that can cause confusion about which tolerance classes are currently valid. This technical information sheet takes you through the main points of IEC 60751:2022 […]
Reliable LNG storage and distribution with Senmatic sensors
Liquid natural gas (also referred to as LNG) is natural gas chilled to minus 162°C (-260°F), which makes it liquid. At this temperature, it only has the volume of 1/600 compared to its volume as a natural gas. This volume effect creates a lot of opportunities for storage and distribution of the natural gas to […]
How Senmatics sensors ensure stable operation of marine scrubbers
What is a marine scrubber? Marine scrubbers, also called Exhaust Gas Cleaning systems (ESGS), are used to remove any harmful parts of exhaust gas in marine engines – such as sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This is becoming more and more important, since the marine industry has an increasing focus on making shipping […]
Sensors ensure fresh produce from farm to table in refrigerated containers
Daily, perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables are transported around the globe to meet consumer demand for fresh produce. To extent shelf life and ensure freshness, such commodities are transported in refrigerated containers in which the gaseous composition of the storage atmosphere is controlled and closely monitored throughout the transportation chain. Commodities such as […]
Why the number of measuring points in wind turbines is increasing
Wind turbines have undergone massive technological developments in recent decades. From simple turbines with a generator to complex power plants driving the global sustainability agenda. The more technology, the more demand for sensors monitoring processes increases. More than a thousand sensors monitor the newest and most complex offshore wind turbines. And the number of vigilant […]
The 5 most relevant marine fuels right now
On January 1st, 2020, a new regulation from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on the amount of Sulphur fuel allowed in global shipping entered into force, introducing a restriction limit of 0.5 percent. Here is an overview of the five most relevant marine fuel types right now. The focus on sustainable solutions within the marine […]
