In a newly developed hydrogen train for local transport, a pressure switch from WIKA plays a crucial role. Within the scope of pressure monitoring, it performs the central safety function in the H2 supply system during the journey. The benefits of hydrogen in rail …
Numerous 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 …
Filter monitoring is a core task of differential pressure gauges - the differential pressure increases as soon as the filter becomes clogged. The measuring instruments thus signal when the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. The efficiency of such a solution can be …
The MTTF value is a term from the field of risk analysis & risk evaluation. The exact meaning is m ean t ime t o f ailure or simply the mean life of a component. The MTTF has gained particular relevance due to EN ISO 13849-1. In accordance with this standard, …
An important parameter in the use of pressure sensors in safety devices is the so-called “Diagnostic Coverage” (DC). However, since single-channel, in particular, but also two-channel safety circuits often malfunction or may be defective, a known diagnostic …
