Thermocouple type
The description at the top right of the drawing, 2nd arrow down, "Type E Terminal head" is a fairly good indication that the element is a Type E.

How do devices archieve floating voltage?
A voltage measurement is inherently a differential measurement, the difference in potential between point A and point B, red probe (+) with respect to the black (COM) probe. It's easier to make voltage measurements 'above or below' ground with a battery powered, plastic-cased voltmeter because...

Pressure Transmitter 4~20mA and 0-10V signals
Yes, a current loop signal is 'the same' throughout the loop, at the source and at the destination. Voltage signals 'drop' voltage over distance.

I have an issue in selecting the perfect location to install a Level Transmitter in a conical tank consists of agitator.
a sketch would help. Draw it with dimensions and take a photo of your sketch with your cell phone.

What is a "Flow meter adalah"?
In English, word order is important and if you'd written adalah flow meter (instead of Flow meter adalah) I would have proposed: A) Another flow meter vendor by the corporate name Adalah B) After residing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for 7 years, I could easily propose that a New...

Anyone have some experiences with Flowmeters?
You really need the E&H Promass 80 configuration manual: https://tinyurl.com/2ubt7xkm The Quick Setup Group navigation menu is shown on page 14. The System Units group is first, followed by the Measuring Mode Group. E&H calls the URV the "Value 20 mA", as shown in the Measuring Mode group...

Send ohms via such long cables...
An RTD input circuit does not 'send Ohms'. Most RTD analog inputs drive about 1mA of constant current through the RTD resistance and then read the voltage drop. A 150 Ohm resistance generates only 150mV of IR drop, a fairly low level signal to read over hundreds of meters of lead wire which...

Anyone have some experiences with Flowmeters?
It occurs to me that the situation is a number of flowmeters are being commissioned. The spreadsheet has a column for each point that has a 'maximum' expected flow rate. The flow meter has a 4-20mA output which is to be configured for 125% of that maximum flow rate so that in case the...

Anyone have some experiences with Flowmeters?
I'm lost. I've done lots of flow meters but I don't know what "max flow over 120%" means. Are you measuring gas or liquid? What is communication output of the flow meter? A digital protocol or 4-20mA? The typical flow restriction on a coriolis meter is when the pressure drop gets too high...

Pneumatics connectors, thread, sizes
This site illustrates differences between tapered NPT and BSPT threading and describes the straight thread BSPP. https://www.geminivalve.com/bsp-thread-vs-npt-fitting/ What the majority of tapered threaded fittings are depends on where in the world you are.

Pressure and temperature compensation valve
You should be communicating with the manufacturer of the brand and model that you've tried, explaining how the valves you purchased don't function properly and inquiring as which models the vendor offers that can solve your problem.

Do inductive motor fields damage laptop's SSD (vs HDD)?
3-4 years ago, I would turn on my laptop when I got to work and go get a cup of coffee in the break room because it was a full 5 minutes before Windows desktop appeared and the HDD LED went from solid on to occasional blinking. The IT guy asked me if I wanted to change over to a SSD drive...

Analog input signal
Be aware that a battery powered 4-20mA calibrator is likely to power off after some time that there's no 'knob' activity (to save the battery). Several thoughts on substituting something to get 10mA of loop current. 1. I have a couple cheap-o 4-20mA sources/simulators whose indicated mA...
