The production of semiconductors places high demands on pressure measurement technology. Pressure transducers there, for example, are deployed in a UHP “ultra high purity”) design. This article explores the question of why such high-quality instruments are …
Pressure sensor
Sensor status always in view with diagnostic function and IO-Link
Haydar Kartal | Know-howIs the measuring instrument still working as it should? Pressure sensors with integrated diagnostic function and IO-Link provide information about their status at a glance. What this means in detail can be illustrated using the example of model A-1200 sensor from WIKA. …
Natural gas: On-site calibration optimised at the metering skid
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsOn-site calibration of measuring instruments is often very time-consuming and expensive. This is especially true for applications with several measurands. One example of this is the metering skid, a system for the custody transfer measurement of the amount of natural …
Turning hydrogen into kilometres
Christian Wirl | PressureFuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) powered by hydrogen are climate-friendly as well as powerful. The growing demand for these zero-emission drives is currently focused first and foremost on commercial vehicles. In Switzerland for example, the “H2 Mobility …
Pressure sensor with I²C communication – possibilities and boundary conditions
Christian Wirl | Know-howI²C was designed to communicate over short distances between printed circuit boards and is a simple, 8-bit serial data bus. In the meantime, it is not only PCB-mountable pressure sensors that use the I²C signal for data transfer, but also pressure sensors remote from …
