Pressure measurement in the production of PBAT, a biodegradable plastic, faces a special challenge: Temperatures of up to 330 °C prevail in the process. For a PBAT producer, therefore, WIKA has designed a model IPT-20 process transmitter with a flush diaphragm seal …
Applications
Extreme conditions: Force transducers for space travel
Markus Heidl | Applications, Force, ProductsIn space, temperatures, pressures and forces are different from those in the environments we are familiar with. This means that measurement technology “up there” is exposed to specific stresses. WIKA has now developed, tested and supplied special force transducers …
Extreme conditions: MH-4 pressure sensor for mobile working machines
Arndt W. Jahns | Applications, Pressure, ProductsMobile working machines are often used in the harshest and most remote areas of the world, from frozen tundra to scorching-hot desert. Thus they are exposed to extreme and, moreover, constantly changing operating conditions. Some of the machinery even runs non-stop. …
Development of an OEM pressure sensor for mobile working machines
Arndt W. Jahns | Applications, Pressure, ProductsDue to their diverse scope of tasks, OEMs have a wide range of requirements and needs for their applications. Manufacturers of mobile working machines have a particular expectation of the properties that a pressure sensor should possess. WIKA has been guided by this in …
Lasting accuracy for diaphragm seal systems for vacuum process
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsA diaphragm seal system in a vacuum process must master a major challenge – it must deliver a reliable measuring result, even when the pressure drops and the temperature rises at the same time. The example of a chemical company producing phthalic anhydride (PA) shows …
