    Image 1. This application’s temperature-measuring instrument is installed next to a conventional temperature transmitter with an externally mounted WirelessHART adapter for comparison purposes only. The insulation around the new measurement-technology installation creates a one-dimensional heat flow profile, allowing compensation for varying ambient and process temperature conditions to produce a corrected internal process temperature, which is then wirelessly communicated. | All images courtesy of Emerson Process Management
