The high requirements placed on pesticides and their production are also reflected in the pressure measurement in the process. A WIKA customer has therefore supplemented the electronic instrumentation for pressure monitoring with a mechanical backup. For this …
Applications
Gravimetric level measurement in vessels
Markus Heidl | ApplicationsIn the pharmaceutical, building materials and food industries, on vessels and silos, on platforms and dosing systems, right up to kitchen and bathroom scales - weight is measured everywhere. In industry, it becomes particularly interesting when it comes to the level in …
Pressure switch in hydrogen-powered train ensures safety
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsIn a newly developed hydrogen train for local transport, a pressure switch from WIKA plays a crucial role. Within the scope of pressure monitoring, it performs the central safety function in the H2 supply system during the journey. The benefits of hydrogen in rail …
Plastics production: Safe pressure measurement up to 330 °C
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsPressure 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 …
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 …
