NewSat's Terrestrial Backhauling">Instrumentation in petrochemical industries are basically the following: flowmeters, the quantification of bulk fluid movement; pressure transmitters/sensors, which measure pressure, typically of gases or liquids; level meter; temperature instruments, where temperature is a physical property that quantitatively expresses the common notions of hot and cold; and analysis instruments, or “analyser”/”analyzer,” a person or device that analyses given data; etc. The measurement of temperature is a vital part of instrumentation in petrochemical (chemical products derived from petroleum) industries. Resistance thermometers, also called “resistance temperature detectors” (“RTDs”), made up of platinum, a chemical element with the chemical symbol “Pt” and an atomic number of 78, are sensors used to measure temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD element with the temperature. They are often used as they are more instructive and give a better response. Thermocouples, which consists of two conductors of different materials (usually metal alloys) that produce a voltage in the vicinity of the point where the two conductors are i contact, on the other hand, are used in locations that need a more durable sensor. Thermocouples come in many types. See: NewSat's Terrestrial Backhauling
