        Measuring range up to:
    
    30 bar
        Medium:
    
    Methane, water vapour
        Process temperature:
    
    +800 ... +870 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    +25 … +30 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    High temperatures
Application
In the primary reformer, methane gas and water vapour react into hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at a pressure of around 30 bar and a temperature of 870 °C. Since the temperature in the reformer is very high, pressure is measured at the inlet via a temperature adapter. The temperature also needs to be measured in order to regulate the process.
