How to build scales
Markus Heidl | Know-howDuring weighing, the weight force is measured, typically using scales. The mass is determined in two ways: comparatively or directly. As the goddess of justice in Roman mythology, Lady Justice is closely associated with Aequitas, the Roman law. Everyone knows her …
Permanently tight: Pressure gauges with fully welded connection flange
Christopher Ott | Know-howIn process technology systems in which flammable, explosive or particularly high-quality media are used, one thing is paramount: safety. A key requirement for operators is the permanent leak tightness of mechanical connections – especially for pressure measuring …

Philipp Lausberger | Know-howOperators of district heating networks face various challenges. In view of the shortage of skilled labour, new legal requirements and demanding end customers, it is important to make the operation and maintenance of networks as reliable and efficient as possible. IIoT …
Stainless steel pressure gauges: Leak testing makes all the difference
Christopher Ott | Know-howAn essential step in the production process of pressure gauges is the leak test of the measuring system to ensure that the process medium does not escape into the environment. There are, however, significant differences in how leak tests on stainless steel pressure …
