WIKA’s Measurement Technology Helps Pharmaceutical Company Improve Product Consistency
Michael Muth | ApplicationsPharmaceuticals are not cheap to manufacture. The extensive research and clinical trials required to develop and market a new drug are a major factor in the overall cost of production. What’s more, many cutting-edge medications today require complex and expensive …
Diaphragm Seal Pattern Matching Prevents Damage, Reduces Temperature Effects
Chi-Che Ma | PressureDiaphragm seals are a common accessory for pressure gauges and sensors in many refining and manufacturing applications. The pressure of the media being measured bends the flexible diaphragm slightly inward, and this movement displaces the fluid behind the seal into the …
Common Causes of Diaphragm Seal Failure
Chi-Che Ma | PressureA diaphragm seal is an efficient, affordable solution for those instances in which pressure instrumentation cannot be in direct contact with the process. A flexible diaphragm seal protects pressure transmitters, transducers, gauges, and switches from contact with …
Diaphragm Breach: When Did That Happen?
Chi-Che Ma | PressureDiaphragm breach: When did that happen? Sanitary industries, such as biotechnical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food and beverage, are highly regulated to make certain processes comply with extremely strict hygienic requirements. To support operations and ensure …
