Whoever exports measuring instruments or other technical goods to Russia and many of its neighbouring countries, has to go through the certification process of the “Eurasian Conformity” (EAC). An EAC approval is comparable with CE conformity. It is issued for each …

Against overheating: Differential pressure gauges as flow monitors
Manuel Schwestka | Know-howDifferential pressure gauges are not only suitable for the typical applications such as monitoring and control of filters or pumps. They can take on the function of a flow monitor, for example, in heat transfer oil plants. They thus control the volume flow of the …
Fittings for pressure gauges: mitigating the effects of dynamic load cycles
Manuel Schwestka | Know-howIn several processes, pressure gauges are temporarily subjected to heavy loading. Dynamic load cycles, for example, can permanently damage the measuring instrument. This can be prevented by mounting the appropriate Fittings. Dynamic load cycles often result from …
Responsible handling of sulphur hexafluoride
Arthur Böttcher | Know-howSulphur hexafluoride - or SF 6 gas for short - is, so far, the gas with the strongest known greenhouse effect. Its contribution to the greenhouse effect is about 23,000 times that of CO 2 and is persistent in the atmosphere. Sulphur hexafluoride is defined …
Functioning of an AC resistance thermometry bridge
Danica Schwarzkopf | Know-howWhen a constant current is passed through a thermometer of resistance Rt and a fixed reference resistor of known value Rs, the voltage across them will be in direct proportion to their resistance values. The ratio of the two voltages and therefore of the two …
