Nexisense Temperature and Pressure Integrated Transmitter: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in Metallurgy

Overview

In the metallurgy industry, temperature and pressure are core parameters, like the "pulse" and "body temperature" of equipment. Any minor anomaly can lead to safety hazards or affect product quality. Traditional monitoring uses separate temperature and pressure sensors, causing complex installation, cumbersome wiring, and data asynchrony. Nexisense temperature and pressure integrated transmitter combines both measurements into a compact unit, achieving high-efficiency "dual measurement" with simplified system architecture, improved synchronization, and enhanced reliability.

The integrated design uses advanced sensing technology and optimized structure, with high-quality stainless steel construction (probe often made of high-strength alloy steel), eliminating leakage risks common in separate solutions. It also features excellent temperature compensation, maintaining high accuracy even in rapidly changing environments. Nexisense products are industrial-grade, suitable for high-temperature, dusty, and high-vibration conditions, providing stable and reliable monitoring.

Typical Applications and Advantages

Blast Furnace Cooling System Monitoring: Synchronous Early Warning

The blast furnace is the "heart" of metallurgy production. The water pressure and temperature in its cooling walls directly reflect refractory wear. Pressure drops or temperature spikes may cause refractory leakage and major accidents. Traditional solutions require separate sensors, leading to delayed response and hard-to-correlate data.

The Nexisense integrated transmitter plays a key role by synchronously collecting cooling water pressure and temperature. Deviations trigger immediate alarms, enabling operators to act quickly. The product uses high-temperature stainless steel probes and robust electronic housings for long-term stable operation in high-temperature, dusty environments, effectively preventing furnace breaches.

Converter Oxygen Gun Cooling System: Rapid Response for Steelmaking Safety

In converter steelmaking, the oxygen gun cooling system is critical. Exposure to high-temperature molten metal requires fast detection of cooling anomalies. Slow traditional sensors cannot capture transient issues.

Nexisense integrated transmitters feature advanced digital temperature compensation, maintaining ±0.5%FS accuracy even with drastic temperature fluctuations. Rapid response captures changes in cooling water pressure and temperature in real time, providing reliable data for safe operations.

Continuous Rolling Lines: Vibration and Interference Resistance

Continuous rolling machines generate strong mechanical vibrations and electromagnetic interference. Many sensors drift or fail under sustained vibration.

Nexisense transmitters offer excellent impact and vibration resistance, with optimized internal component fixing for stability. Built-in lightning protection and electromagnetic compatibility make it suitable for electric arc furnace areas. Applications demonstrate lower failure rates, supporting continuous production.

Comprehensive Advantages

• Simplified Installation and Wiring: Integrated design reduces connection points; standard process connections (threaded or flange) and electrical interfaces simplify commissioning.

• Reduced Leakage Risk: Integrated structure without extra joints eliminates potential leaks.

• High Data Reliability: Pressure and temperature measured simultaneously, avoiding discrepancies caused by sensor location differences, supporting precise process control.

• Long-term Stability and Low Maintenance: Durable materials and advanced compensation algorithms extend service life and reduce calibration frequency, ideal for 24/7 metallurgical operations.

• Cost Efficiency: Fewer sensors and simplified system integration reduce total cost of ownership.

Applications in Metallurgy

Nexisense integrated transmitters are widely applied in blast furnaces, converters, continuous casting, and rolling mills, improving safety and production efficiency. They serve not just as measuring instruments but as reliable partners ensuring stable operation under extreme conditions.
