Fittings that flake silver are a major concern in ultra-high purity (UHP) processes. That’s why WIKA has developed gall-resistant nuts made of UNS S21800 stainless steel, a chromium–iron alloy with inherent lubricity and self-mating characteristics to reduce the …
Pressure gauge failure can be attributed to one or more of these eight reasons: mechanical vibration, pulsation, extreme temperature, pressure spikes, overpressure, corrosion, clogging, and mishandling/abuse. Pressure gauges are an integral part of an …
Many factors go into the decision of which industrial pressure gauge to purchase. Asking the “STAMPED” questions regarding Size, Temperature, Application, Media, Pressure, “Ends,” and Delivery time will help buyers determine which gauges are right for their …
Companies in the biotechnology, chemical, food processing, petrochemical, oil refining and other industries rely on gauges to keep their operations running properly. For engineers and technicians at these and other facilities, stainless steel pressure gauges serve …
Predictive maintenance, a system where inputs from electronic sensors and transmitters are used to help forecast when equipment needs to be serviced or replaced, is the key to minimizing downtime, maximizing efficiency, and saving money. Whether production lines …
