Diaphragm Seals: Ultimate Protection for Safer, More Sanitary Pressure Measurement
| Chi-Che Ma | PressureCertain process media can damage pressure gauges, which, in turn, can contaminate clean process media. By using a diaphragm seal as a protective barrier, plant operators save time and money by avoiding instrument damage, batch losses, and expensive downtime. If …
Getting Out of the Lab: WIKA USA’s Newest Testing Facility Features Full-size Processing Unit
| Robert Torgerson | ApplicationsEven the best laboratory tests cannot duplicate real-life conditions, and testing in active processes is sometimes inefficient and even impossible. To test measuring instruments under specific conditions and configurations, WIKA USA built its own full-size process unit …
The Importance of Testing High-Pressure Measuring Instruments
| Tony Maupin | ApplicationsHigh-pressure processes, which often come with high temperatures and strong vibrations as well, place significant stress on measuring instrumentation. That’s why testing is such an important aspect of the manufacturing process. WIKA designs and manufactures …
Electronic Instrumentation for Safe and Reliable Measurements in High-Pressure Applications
| Tony Maupin | ApplicationsHigh-pressure applications are extremely taxing on measuring instrumentation, and it can be difficult to find sensors that can withstand the strain while remaining highly responsive. WIKA’s electronic pressure instruments solve the problem. Some mechanical …
