Standard 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 …
If 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 …
Pressure 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 …
Vibrations 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 …
The DIN 3852-E pressure connection thread standard has been invalid since 2012. The standard that has been valid since then for pipe threads (e.g. for G ¼ A) is DIN EN ISO 1179-2: “Connections for general use and fluid power - Ports and stud ends with ISO 228-1 …
