Pressure monitoring at high temperature is a demanding measuring requirement. This requires a specially designed diaphragm seal. With model 990.45, WIKA offers such an instrument in its portfolio and was therefore awarded the contract by the operator of an oil …
Process safety
Coatings of measuring instruments: Use and advantages
Sina Odenwald | Know-howProcess applications are becoming increasingly complex. Measuring instruments must therefore meet the highest requirements and function reliably – even with harsh outdoor conditions or aggressive media. Coatings are usually indispensable for use, for example, in the …
Valve actuators: Pressure switch combines control and alarm function
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsHydraulic valve actuators require pressure switches for safe operation. In control cabinets, usually two of these measuring instruments are installed. One switch is used to control the pump for the hydraulic pressure, while the second triggers an alarm if the pressure …
Pressure transducer: Digitally connected with EtherCAT®
Fabian Mayer | Pressure, ProductsPressure transducers with EtherCAT ® as the communication protocol continue the digitalisation of the semiconductor industry at the transmitter level. In future, in every production plant, dozens of pressure measuring locations will be equipped with them. Their …
Advantages of in-situ calibration using the example of pressure switches
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsIn-situ calibration of measuring instruments is carried out in numerous industrial processes. The advantages are obvious: The instruments remain installed, so the process does not have to be opened. In this way, plant operators reduce the time and costs involved in …
