In fact, USP Class VI has been largely superseded since the release of ISO 10993 in 1995. This post will take a deeper look at what biocompatibility is and how it is defined by the International Standards Organization.

The most accurate way to measure process temperature is with a sensor that is immersed directly into the flow. These direct immersion sensors are the preferred because they provide accurate measurement and quick response time. Most often, RTD’s are clamped in to a tee, perpendicular to flow. For small diameter lines, this RTD orientation may not be adequate to get an accurate temperature measurement.
