Installation Obstacles: Invasive In-Pipe Immersion Sensors When it comes to process piping systems, temperature of in-pipe media is often a necessary measurement – and one that needs to be monitored accurately. Traditionally, in-pipe immersion sensors are used. However, invasive in-pipe immersion sensors are often not ideal for use within process piping systems. Here are 3 considerations to take before installing immersion sensors in process piping systems.
