Pressure and temperature measurement at extremely low ambient temperatures
| Christopher Ott | Know-howStandard pressure gauges and thermometers generally cope with ambient temperatures down to -40 °C. But what must be the features of a mechanical measuring instrument that works perfectly well in polar climates with even lower temperatures? This can be explained using …
Filter monitoring: A crucial component for energy-efficient operation
| Jürgen Arndt | Know-howIf the careful use of “energy” as a resource used to be for cost reasons, today there is also increased environmental awareness. All of this also becomes mandatory thanks to legal requirements and the state of the technology. In this article you can read about how …
Combination of pressure measuring instrument with accessories – Hook-up instead of own assembly
| July Yang | Know-howPressure transmitters and pressure gauges can be adapted to almost any process condition using valves, protective devices and/or fittings. WIKA offers such combinations in the form of a "hook-up", an application-specific and ready-to-install solution. It eliminates all …
Vibration protection: Case filling vs. dampened movement
| Christopher Ott | Know-howVibrations can sometimes violently load Bourdon tube pressure gauges. They cause pointer flutter and also, in the event of sustained loading, damage to the measuring system, even to the point of total failure. The most effective protection against these effects is …
