The various possible configuration levels for a pressure measurement solution are not defined conceptually in any standard. At WIKA we have chosen the following terminology: A pressure sensor (also pressure transmitter) delivers a standardised, …
The question occasionally arises, in connection with Bourdon tube pressure gauges, about the overload safety of the instruments. This article deals with exceeding the measuring range by up to 30 %. What happens with the pressure gauge? Does it still indicate precisely …
Are pressure gauges suitable for pharmaceutical processes? Yes, if they are available in a version with flush diaphragm element. There are two advantages for a mechanical pressure measurement with this type of instrument: Diaphragm pressure gauges measure “dry” and …
Standard pressure gauges generally cope with ambient temperatures down to -40 °C. But what must be the features of a measuring instrument that works perfectly well in polar climates with even lower temperatures? This can be explained using the WIKA PG23LT pressure …
The German institute for standardisation (Deutsches Institut für Normung) has opened up new territory: Its DIN 16001 is the world's first standard that deals exclusively with high-pressure gauges. In accordance with the criteria described within it, WIKA is at the …
