Somewhat less illuminated than the conventional application areas of force measurement, but no less important, is force measurement in the field of geotechnology. Here it depends, to a high degree, on know-how and experience. The term geotechnology combines …
The various possible configuration levels for a pressure measurement solution are not defined conceptually in any standard. At WIKA we have chosen the following terminology: A pressure sensor (also pressure transmitter) delivers a standardised, …
The question occasionally arises, in connection with Bourdon tube pressure gauges, about the overload safety of the instruments. This article deals with exceeding the measuring range by up to 30 %. What happens with the pressure gauge? Does it still indicate precisely …
Are pressure gauges suitable for pharmaceutical processes? Yes, if they are available in a version with flush diaphragm element. There are two advantages for a mechanical pressure measurement with this type of instrument: Diaphragm pressure gauges measure “dry” and …
The German institute for standardisation (Deutsches Institut für Normung) has opened up new territory: Its DIN 16001 is the world's first standard that deals exclusively with high-pressure gauges. In accordance with the criteria described within it, WIKA is at the …
