Approval Requirements for Exporting Measuring Instruments into Ukraine, Russia, and Other CIS Countries
| Hardy Orzikowski | Know-howMeasuring instruments exported to the former Soviet Union require very specific certifications and approvals. Thanks to WIKA’s global presence, WIKA USA has the required approvals for all WIKA products to sup port projects in Ukraine and the 10 Commonwealth of …
The Important Role of Differential Pressure Sensors in Hydroelectric Power Generation
| Ravi Jethra | PressureIn hydroelectric power generation, dirt and debris in the intake water can shorten the lifetime of turbine blades. Filters inside intake pipes trap the debris so that only sediment-free water hits the blades. A differential pressure sensor/transducer measures the flow …
WIKA Submersible Pressure Transmitters Solve the Challenges of Sump Pit Level Measurement
| Ravi Jethra | Level, PressureThe varied nature of the liquid waste in sump pits can create difficulties with accurate level measurement . WIKA’s submersible transmitter avoids these problems by measuring the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid in the sump pit. Power plants and refineries, …
Differential Pressure Transducers Are Ideal for Monitoring Gas Turbine Air Filters
| Ravi Jethra | PressureThe air filters of gas turbines at power plants eventually get clogged with particulate matter and sludge, decreasing operating efficiency and power generation. Turbine filters must be monitored for cleaning or replacement as required. An ideal solution is to use a …
