US electrical company Emerson Automation Solutions has extended the potential applications of its temperature-sensor system. The Rosemount X-well technology measures the surface temperature of pipes and uses an algorithm based on the conductive properties of the materials from which the pipe is made to work out the temperature inside. This allows users to obtain an accurate reading without having to intrude into the process or install thermowells to protect sensors. Emerson Automation Solutions has now made it available on a new platform for users with wired networks.
