It is common knowledge in industry that 4-wire measurement is the preferred method for resistances under 1 Ω but what makes it so advantageous over 2- and 3- wire measurement? Let’s look at how the technique was invented and why it works. Building Bridges William Tomson, later Lord Kelvin of temperature scale fame, was studying…

How to Measure the Temperature of Flowing Liquids in a Closed Process Using a Temperature Probe
Accurately measuring the temperature of a viscous liquid can present its own set of unique challenges, but what if the liquid is flowing? Thermowells A thermowell is a device that allows you to measure the temperature of moving fluid without having to shut down the entire process to insert or remove the temperature probe. Basically,…

How Does A Digital Thermometer Work?
How Do Digital Thermometers Work? Thermometers used to be simple. First, there was a glass tube filled with a liquid that expanded up the tube as the temperature increased. We all understood how that worked. Then came the bi-metal thermometers. They were made from a layered strip of 2 metals with different coefficients of expansion…

The Food Safety Modernization Act: It’s Time to Shift to a Proactive Stance in Your Food Manufacturing Facility
The Origins of Food Safety Are Out of This World The principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) originated in the NASA space program. NASA wanted food that wouldn’t crumble and affect control systems and would be safe for astronaut consumption. They already mandated the use of Critical Control Points (CCPs) in their…
