Switch contacts make pressure gauges and thermometers “active”
Christoph Strebel | Know-howSwitch contacts in pressure gauges and mechanical thermometers significantly extend the functionality of the measuring instruments. They enable limit value monitoring in addition to on-site indication. Such instruments with switch contacts are therefore an important …
Pressure measurement: How users benefit from a systems provider
Jing Lyu | Know-how, PressurePressure measurement could be so simple: Installing a pressure gauge, pressure transmitter or IIoT measuring instrument with radio unit – done. But in many cases, a measuring location requires more components than just the measuring instrument, especially in the …
CCUS is often the only option for decarbonisation
