Somewhat less illuminated than the conventional application areas of force measurement, but no less important, is force measurement in the field of geotechnology. Here it depends, to a high degree, on know-how and experience. The term geotechnology combines …
Applications
Force measurement in linear drives
Markus Heidl | Applications, ForceAt present, a transformation is taking place, with linear drives taking the place of pneumatic and hydraulic drives. Here, there is no longer any scope for measuring pressure. However, WIKA has another solution: Force measurement. Hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders …
Drinking water suitability of measuring instruments
Torsten Püschel | ApplicationsIn connection with the drinking water suitability of measuring instruments, the terms Drinking Water Directive, 4MS List, UBA Positive List, Evaluation Criteria for Metallic Substances are increasingly appearing. This article should shed some light on the suitability …
Measuring instruments for combined heat and power plants (CHP)
Gerhard Renz | ApplicationsThe range of combined heat and power plants (CHP) is very large, as is the high variance of different plant types. The distinction is made by the generated power/heat output on the one hand and by the energy source used on the other. For all CHP plants, a large number …
Safety features of welding pressure gauges
Sandra Broßler | ApplicationsWelding pressure gauges offer several safety features in order to enable the operator to work safely. The DIN EN ISO 5171 standard (Gas welding equipment - Pressure gauges used in welding, cutting and allied processes - ISO 5171:2009) describes the requirements …
