Unique: Diaphragm pressure gauge for pharmaceutical industry
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsRequirement and solution − The following example from China shows WIKA's competence in the pharmaceutical sector: One of the biggest vaccine manufacturers in China urgently needed a safe and autoclavable pressure gauge in hygienic design for the production of an …
Diaphragm seals for stable flow measurement in deep seas
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsDiaphragm seals make it possible to adapt measuring instruments to even the most extreme conditions. One example is the deep-sea extraction of oil and natural gas. For offshore companies in this industry, a particular OEM company manufactures flow measuring systems …
Calibration of ultra-high pressures over the entire measuring range
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsThe calibration of ultra-high pressures is a challenge. This is because conventional test instruments are only designed for pressures up to 1,000 bar. In many applications, however, sensors work with several times this value, for example in the automotive industry. If …
Pressure switches in booster pumps
Gaston Dorren | ApplicationsThe invention of the pump itself was a major breakthrough for mankind. It significantly simplified the supply of drinking water. With growing demands for a stable water supply, largely free from pressure fluctuations, and at the same time increasing demands on the …
