Hydrostatic level sensors (also referred to as submersible pressure transmitter) are very often installed in outdoor applications, primarily in the water and wastewater industries, where open bodies of water, deep wells or boreholes are monitored. A good connection to …
In the renowned book series “Die Bibliothek der Technik” (library of technology) a volume about electronic pressure measurement was released with the technical support of WIKA. A short statement on their book by the authors: “Our customers and colleagues at …
Many customer wonder why hydrostatic level sensors fail due to lightning strikes, even if they ordered a level sensor with integrated lightning protection. Understanding how the lightning protection works and how lightning strikes affect hydrostatic level sensors is …
In order to be safe for use in the hazardous locations, pressure sensors that are suitable for use in that hazardous area need to comply with one of the many protection types available. A common route is to use a pressure sensor possessing the Ex-d protection type, …
If you want to measure the level of a liquid easily and reliably, most people will do this using hydrostatic pressure measurement, e.g. with a submersible pressure transmitter or a so called level probe. The characteristic submersed application implicates a maximum …
