In so-called “gauge sensors” pressure is always measured relative to the currently prevailing ambient pressure. However, the ambient pressure is by no means constant. It is location- and height-dependent and changes with the weather. This means that for a …
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 …
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? …
How does an active or passive temperature compensation of pressure transmitters actually work? High-quality pressure transmitters, especially those used in precision critical applications, are almost always provided with an individual temperature compensation. But …
