WIKA Introduces Revolutionary Liquid-Filled Gauge with Flexible Window
Hardy OrzikowskiIn WIKA’s new FlexWindow™ liquid-filled gauge, an optically clear liquid silicone rubber (LSR) replaces glass or polycarbonate for greater safety and durability, unimpaired reading, and no need for pressure venting. Liquid-filled gauges are excellent …
Reasons for Choosing a Liquid-Filled Industrial Pressure Gauge
Hardy OrzikowskiLiquid-filled gauges surpass dry gauges for two main reasons: performance and extended service life. Pressure gauges that are filled with a liquid, usually glycerin or silicone oil, perform better in less-than-ideal conditions. They are also more economical in the long …
Dampened Movement Industrial Instrumentation: Pressure Gauges and Bimetal Thermometers
Hardy OrzikowskiIn applications with vibration and pulsation, either a liquid-filled case or dampened movement industrial instrumentation will minimize pointer oscillation. The better choice depends on the application and, to a certain extent, a user’s risk tolerance for leaks. …
Low Pressure Gauges: For Very Low and Vacuum Pressure Measurements
Hardy OrzikowskiTo accurately measure pressure below 10 psi (690 mbar), mechanical gauges use a capsule element. Capsule gauges are found in applications that operate in a vacuum or pressures as low as 1" water column. In most Bourdon tube pressure gauges , the range …
