In high-demand industrial processes, a variation of just 1°C can directly impact the quality of the final product. In this article, we explore how thermocouples, when properly specified and applied, can ensure this level of precision — and how Alutal has been contributing with cutting-edge engineering solutions to achieve it.
Why Is Accuracy So Important in Temperature Measurement?
Temperature directly influences physical and chemical properties in industrial processes. Even small thermal variations — as little as 1°C — can lead to production failures, rework, equipment damage, and loss of productivity, ultimately causing financial losses for the industry. That’s why reliability in temperature measurement is one of the pillars of operational excellence.
Thermocouples: Precision Allies in Extreme Environments
Thermocouples are robust sensors with high thermal resistance and are applicable across various industrial sectors, such as steel, pulp and paper, chemical, and food industries. Their ability to operate across wide temperature ranges makes them ideal for critical thermal control scenarios.
How Alutal’s Technology Is Changing the Game
The system developed by Alutal’s team of expert engineers enables thermal behavior simulations based on real data, optimizing everything from thermocouple type selection to its placement in the process. This results in improved energy efficiency, reduced production downtime, and enhanced operational safety.
Its algorithm allows for the input of variables such as:
- Process material
- Weight
- Type of fuel used
- Calorific value
Using the input data, the software calculates thermal variation and generates a detailed report. This analysis enables more accurate decision-making, helping companies reduce operational costs and increase the reliability of their processes.
