The correct temperature reading of a container

 The correct temperature reading of a container 

Patch notes: V 0.2.07.051


The correct temperature reading of a container cannot be obtained if it does not have sufficient liquid volume. This is because the temperature of the liquid in the container and its surroundings can be different. Temperature measurement is typically done with a thermometer, which measures the temperature of the liquid at the point where the thermometer is located. If the liquid volume in the container is insufficient, the thermometer may not be able to accurately measure the temperature of the liquid since it will not be in direct contact with enough liquid.

Additionally, the temperature of the liquid in the container can vary significantly depending on the amount of liquid present, especially in heating or cooling systems. If there is too little liquid, the temperature may increase significantly, as heat will not be distributed evenly in the container. Likewise, if there is too little liquid in a cooled container, the temperature may decrease significantly.

In summary, it is important to have sufficient liquid volume in a container to obtain an accurate temperature reading. Otherwise, temperature measurement may be incorrect, which can lead to problems in the operation and control of processes where temperature is critical.

If the container does not have the proper volume, or is empty, the temperature reading on the gauges will be incorrect or it will read 0°C. This can lead to significant issues, especially in processes where temperature is critical.

Additionally, inaccurate temperature readings can also result in safety hazards. For instance, in a process where overheating of a vessel can cause a rupture or explosion, an inaccurate temperature reading could cause operators to fail to take appropriate corrective action in time, leading to a potential safety incident.
