Measurement solutions for vaccine production
Stefan Schneider | WIKA insightVaccinations are the best way to control the Covid-19 pandemic. There is now a global consensus about that. In China, vaccine production is thus progressing with great impetus. The WIKA subsidiary in Suzhou is an important partner in this for the pharmaceutical …
Temperature calibration: Thermocouples vs. resistance thermometers
Katja Strecke | Know-howIn temperature calibration, high demands are placed on reference thermometers in terms of accuracy and reproducibility and thus long-term stability. Therefore, RTDs (“resistance temperature detectors”) – here specifically platinum resistance thermometers – and …
Temperature calibration with reference probes, dry-well calibrators and baths
Katja Strecke | Know-howCan dry-well calibrators and calibration baths be used as internal references? Temperature dry-well calibrators and baths are a practical solution for temperature calibrations. This is true both in the field and in laboratories, as they provide a free-standing, stable …
Pressure and temperature measurement at extremely low ambient temperatures
Christopher Ott | Know-howStandard pressure gauges and thermometers generally cope with ambient temperatures down to -40 °C. But what must be the features of a mechanical measuring instrument that works perfectly well in polar climates with even lower temperatures? This can be explained using …
