Replacing standard alloy fittings on a pressure gauge with gall resistant fittings is a minor change, but doing so eliminates the major issues associated with standard fittings. Fittings in a gall resistant material ensure a leak-tight seal, prevent particulate …
Frequently asked questions and their answers about the basic physical principles of pressure and pressure measurement, including discussions of absolute pressure, atmospheric pressure, gauge pressure, and differential pressure. Pressure is generally defined as a …
The increasing demand for gasoline has led to the installation of many alkylation units to improve yields in refineries around the world. Alkylation units convert small molecular-size hydrocarbons, obtained in fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) units, into larger, high …
Are your gauges installed properly? WIKA’s FAST team of audit experts knows that all too often this isn’t the case. Not installing your gauges properly can lead to premature gauge failure and prevent you from troubleshooting issues with equipment or processes. …
Modern pressure gauges are remarkably robust and accurate, but over time they lose their accuracy. This means gauges must be calibrated regularly if they are to continue to provide accurate readings. Gauge calibration is often recommended before installation, as part …
