Liquid-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 …
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 …
Certain 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 …
High-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 …
High-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 …
