SIP in pharmaceutical processes: Sterilisation with ultrapure steam
Jing Lyu | Know-how“Sterilisation in place” or “steam in place”, SIP for short, is an indispensable process in pharmaceutical production. It involves sterilising the relevant process equipment directly in the plant using condensing steam. Following the cleaning in place (CIP) …
Pressure monitoring at high temperature is a challenge
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsPressure monitoring at high temperature is a demanding measuring requirement. This requires a specially designed diaphragm seal. With model 990.45, WIKA offers such an instrument in its portfolio and was therefore awarded the contract by the operator of an oil …
Hydrostatic pressure test with a digital pressure gauge
Jing Lyu | Applications, PressureA hydrostatic pressure test is used as a proof of strength and leak tightness of containers and pipelines that hold liquids and gases. The procedure and documentation of such a test can be increased in efficiency by using digital pressure gauges. This is particularly …
Valve actuators: Pressure switch combines control and alarm function
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsHydraulic valve actuators require pressure switches for safe operation. In control cabinets, usually two of these measuring instruments are installed. One switch is used to control the pump for the hydraulic pressure, while the second triggers an alarm if the pressure …
