Whether in the chemical industry, in petrochemical companies or in the processing of crude oil and natural gas: Numerous processes contain methane, which also damages the climate via fugitive emissions. Any escape of this greenhouse gas or any similar substance via the …
The high requirements placed on pesticides and their production are also reflected in the pressure measurement in the process. A WIKA customer has therefore supplemented the electronic instrumentation for pressure monitoring with a mechanical backup. For this …
Pressure measurement in the production of PBAT, a biodegradable plastic, faces a special challenge: Temperatures of up to 330 °C prevail in the process. For a PBAT producer, therefore, WIKA has designed a model IPT-20 process transmitter with a flush diaphragm seal …
A diaphragm seal system in a vacuum process must master a major challenge – it must deliver a reliable measuring result, even when the pressure drops and the temperature rises at the same time. The example of a chemical company producing phthalic anhydride (PA) shows …
A pre-volume deflagration flame arrester or – simplified – a flame arrester prevents flame transmission, through a measuring instrument, into a zone 0 (gas) hazardous area. This protective function, therefore, plays an important role, especially in process …
