When considering a new level sensor for level measurement applications, it is often hard to find information on how the different types of level sensors, like the hydrostatic level sensors respectively hydrostatic pressure sensors, are working. Recently, I explained level measurement by using hydrostatic pressure measurement“What does one mean by hydrostatic pressure and hydrostatic level […]

diaphragm seal of drinking water from ground water has top priority in many countries. In Germany, this method has a share of about 70 per cent in the water supply. The water drawn from depths of several hundred of meters below the earth’s surface is normally in perfect hygienic condition.The ground water is pumped up

Electronic pressure sensors usually measure the change in pressure through the deformation of a diaphragm. If this diaphragm is exposed to the process pressure on one side and “vented” on the other side (and thus exposed to the ambient pressure), the deformation is reduced (because it is counterbalanced) by exactly this ambient pressure. Therefore, the

20 years of WIKA-Live – finally, the career orientation week for pupils from regional schools around the head office in Klingenberg actually took place live again – in its “anniversary year”. It had been forced to take a break due to the pandemic.Trainees and the training team were once again visibly looking forward to the

At WIKA USA we are used to dealing with unusually sized temperature solutions. However, diaphragm seal from a customer was abnormal, even for US standards – during a plant shutdown at the Freeport (Texas) site, it was urgently necessary to replace two flanged thermowells with our Flex-O multi-point system. The size needed was 37 metres!

Dual piston deadweight testers can greatly enhance a lab?s ability to calibrate wide pressure ranges with the best accuracy. With เพรสเชอร์เกิจ and devices under test (DUTs) which have a broad measuring range, calibration can be quite a lengthy process, as you need to change pistons among test points so as to calibrate its entire range.However,

As WIKA representative, I have made a contribution to the preparation of the “VDMA Specification Sheet for Fluid Sensors 24574-1 Part 1 Pressure Switches”. What were the objectives of this VDMA committee? Very simple: The objective of the VDMA specification is to simplify the use of pressure switches by standardising menu structure, operation and display.

In industrial automation and in pressure sensors in particular, the current signal of 4 … 20 mA is the most frequently used signal for analogue transmission of values. pressure gauge octa of this signal is due to its ease of handling and especially its interference resistance.A current signal has a higher EMC interference immunity than

An important parameter in the use of pressure sensors in safety devices is the so-called “Diagnostic Coverage” (DC). However, since single-channel, in particular, but also two-channel safety circuits often malfunction or may be defective, a known diagnostic coverage helps interpret such structures properly.Here, a statistical significance for the diagnostic coverage can only be determined by

An important specification for industrial measuring instruments generally, and pressure sensors in particular, may be the ingress protection. In this context, an assumed typographical error inside our data sheets for the PSD-4, PSD-30, PSD-31 and PSA-31 electronic pressure switches has frequently been pointed out to us. These data sheets declare that these instruments meet both
