This article provides an overview of the challenges and considerations involved in measuring temperature in chemical processes. It highlights the importance of temperature measurement in optimizing reactions and determining process efficiency. The article compares resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouples (TCs) as sensor technologies, discussing their differences in accuracy, response time, and durability. It also mentions the use of specialized cables and transmitters to improve temperature control and response time. The article emphasizes the need to consider factors such as measurement criticality, accuracy, process temperature changes, and safety elements when selecting temperature measurement solutions.
