Electronic Pressure Measurement – Basics, applications and instrument selection
Sabine Mai | Know-howIn the renowned book series “Die Bibliothek der Technik” (library of technology) a volume about electronic pressure measurement was released with the technical support of WIKA. A short statement on their book by the authors: “Our customers and colleagues at …
Why it is important to choose explosion-proof pressure transmitters carefully …
Ahmad Desuki | Know-howIn order to be safe for use in the hazardous locations, pressure sensors that are suitable for use in that hazardous area need to comply with one of the many protection types available. A common route is to use a pressure sensor possessing the Ex-d protection type, …
When to use electronic pressure switches and pressure sensors
Enrico Bossart | Know-howFor a very long time, mechanical pressure switches were state-of-the-art for control in manufacturing processes. Modern pressure sensors seem to be the answer to the demand for data collection and control, by providing continuous data output about the process pressure. …
What does temperature compensation or compensated temperature range for pressure sensors mean?
Michèle Beyer | Know-howNo other term is as misleading as "compensated temperature range". Let´s first begin with what is meant: The compensated temperature range is the temperature range in which the temperature error, and accordingly the temperature coefficients, are valid. Not, as one …
