A new application factfile from ABB
covering temperature measurement
in the cement industry is now
available free of cost.

Cement manufacturing sites are
difficult, arduous applications
characterised by extreme
temperatures and corrosive dust. As
well as the risk of overheating of key
items of plant, there is also the risk of
fire and potential explosions caused
by dust particles. Choosing the best
type of instrument for these
conditions is therefore crucial.

The double-sided guide explains
the key considerations determining
the selection of temperature
equipment and outlines the various
options on offer. Recommendations
are made for the three key areas
where temperature needs to be
monitored, namely the kiln, preheater
and clinker feeder.
