What is the leading ignition protection type for UHP pressure transducers?
Fabian Mayer | Know-howThe leading ignition protection type is critical for the electrical connection of a pressure sensor with explosion protection. It does not necessarily have to be the one with the stricter requirements. This applies, for example, for the UHP pressure transducers of the …
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 …
