Identification of absolute pressure and relative pressure measuring ranges for pressure sensors
Michèle BeyerHow are absolute and relative pressure measuring ranges distinguished? There are considerable international differences. They can be explained in the following example: Europe: 0 … 10 bar / 0 … 10 bar abs America: 0 … 150 psig / 150 psia In …
Electronic pressure sensor/pressure transmitter or mechanical pressure indicator?
Stefan HeuselFor some years now, it has been possible to increasingly automate production processes, and by doing to to achieve substantial cost reductions in some cases. This raises the question: does it still make sense to use mechanical pressure measuring instruments? The …
What is a pressure transmitter?
Anna GriesThe manufacturers of pressure sensors use many different terms for the various designs of measuring instruments, such as pressure sensor, pressure transmitter, pressure transducer, etc. At WIKA, the term: “pressure transmitter” is commonly used to refer to a …
Ingress Protection for Pressure Sensors – Definition of IP protection types
Dominik LorenzA frequently recurring question is about the definition of the so-called IP protection types or sometimes referred to as “IP rating”. The IP ingress protection types provide a system that describes how the housing of electrical equipment is protected against the …
