Functional as well as ecological
WIKA Austria moved into new premisesOnly a few steps, but a giant leap: WIKA’s new head offices for the Danube region were erected only a few hundred metres from the present location in a construction period of only nine months. pressure gauge 10 bar into the new building took place at the turn of the […]
Mechanical vs electronic pressure switches: Application areas
When if digital pressure gauge undertake a mechanical pressure switch so when should you rather decide for an electric pressure switch? Each switch principle offers advantages, but also has its limitations. Among pressure gauge , there are differences in the application form areas for mechanical and electronic pressure switches. A consideration of this will support […]
Comparative calibration vs. fixed point calibration
In temperature calibration technology, there are two methods of calibration ? the comparative calibration and the fixed point calibration. The technique of calibration to be used will undoubtedly be defined through the demands on the accuracy and the sort of test instrument. The comparative method represents probably the most widely used method of calibration.So how […]
Integration of a ceramic pressure sensor
In space- and price-critical applications, the ceramic pressure sensor offers a compact and cost-effective solution for implementing pressure measurement which is embedded in the customer’s application. However, there are some details to consider when integrating the ceramic cell.For pressure gauge 10 bar , each sensor must be measured and adjusted (see: “Integration of a pressure […]
Play it safe with double block & bleed
What may be the safest solution to separate an activity and the attached pressure measurement technology? The HSG 253 standard should be put on this question, and it answers unequivocally: through an instrumentation valve with double block & bleed (DBB). This configuration for risk minimisation applies especially, but not only, to processes with critical media.An […]
Marking of pressure sensors and transmitters in accordance with ATEX Guideline 94/9/EC ? how exactly to read the ATEX label on pressure sensors
If pressure sensors, pressure transmitters and other field equipment are used in the vicinity of flammable gases or dust, they might be subject to marking relative to the ATEX product guideline 94/9/EC. ไดอะแฟรม requires the sort label of the sensor to include the ATEX marking, so usually this is labelled directly onto the sensor during […]
Vibration resistance of pressure sensors
Measuring ไดอะแฟรม resp. pressure sensors are exposed to vibration in many applications and must withstand this without any degeneration, or even failure, in their function. Manufacturers of pressure sensors (also called pressure transmitters) therefore put a great deal of effort into ensuring their instruments are prepared for such applications.In order that they can make firm […]
Accuracy of pressure sensors – what ”precisely” does this mean?
How is เพรสเชอร์เกิจ of pressure sensors actually defined? The deviation of the actual characteristic curve from the ideal one is often referred to as “accuracy”. However, the term itself cannot be found in any national or international standard. This means that there is no such thing as “accuracy”, but instead a large number of terms […]
Pressure monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry with a universal instrument
Pressure monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry is a demanding task with a wide variety of requirements. However, a corresponding diversification in instrumentation does not have to be an inevitable consequence. This is demonstrated by the use of a universal process transmitter from WIKA in the production of API (“active pharmaceutical ingredients”).Such active pharmaceutical ingredients form […]
Sensor status always in view with diagnostic function and IO-Link
Is the measuring instrument still working as it should? เพรสเชอร์เกิจ with integrated diagnostic function and IO-Link provide information about their status at a glance. What this means in detail can be illustrated using the example of model A-1200 sensor from WIKA.The A-1200 is designed for use in industrial applications, especially for pressure measurement tasks in […]
