International competition: Torpedo drilled its way into the final
| Stefan Schneider | WIKA insightBeing faster than a snail is a tremendous challenge for a tunnel boring machine. Students at DHBW Mosbach have mastered this, and have made it through to the final of an international competition with the “Dirt Torpedo”. WIKA co-sponsored the project by providing …
Flame arrester protects sewage vacuum truck tanks
| Jing Lyu | ApplicationsA 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 …
