Five reasons why force measurement is important
| Markus Heidl | Know-howWIKA has been an internationally recognised partner for all measurement tasks for many decades. The product portfolio includes pressure, temperature, force and level measurement, as well as flow measurement, calibration and SF 6 gas solutions. In the following …
Pressure switches in booster pumps
| Gaston Dorren | ApplicationsThe invention of the pump itself was a major breakthrough for mankind. It significantly simplified the supply of drinking water. With growing demands for a stable water supply, largely free from pressure fluctuations, and at the same time increasing demands on the …
SIL pressure switch: Safety in tyre manufacturing
| Jing Lyu | ApplicationsNumerous industrial processes have an inherently high risk potential. Special pressure switches support the safety of people and the environment. Example: the vulcanisation of tyres for motor vehicles. To monitor this process, leading manufacturers use the model MW …
Safe pressure monitoring for vaccine production
| Silvia Weber | PressureIt can take up to three years to turn bacteria, viruses or cell cultures into a vaccine. Since vaccines are injected directly into the body, safety and purity have the highest priority in production. The demands on the plant equipment are correspondingly high, for …
