For 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 …
The 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 …
A 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 …
In connection with the pressure equipment directive 97/23/EC (PED), a pressure limit of 200 bar is often mentioned. But what does this limit mean for manufacturers and/or companies that place pressure sensors, pressure transmitters and pressure equipment on the market? …
Although, for most applications, the choice of sensor measuring principle or functional principle of the pressure sensor is not important, we are still often asked about how the sensor elements integrated in our pressure sensors and pressure transmitters work. First of …
