Standard for absolute pressure gauges: DIN 16002
| Silvia Weber | Know-howFilling in the gap in standardisation for measuring instruments: For absolute pressure gauges, DIN 16002 was published in mid-2017. The model 532.52 instrument family from WIKA conforms to this standard. All versions have since then been marked with the DIN 16002 …
Advantages of diaphragm pressure gauges (2): High overload protection
| Silvia Weber | Know-howOverload can quickly expose the limit of any pressure measuring instrument. Diaphragm pressure gauges withstand a significantly higher maximum pressure when compared to instruments with Bourdon tubes. This protection is due to their physical design. A …
Alarm contacts: When pressure gauges switch
| Christopher Ott | Know-howMechanical pressure measuring instruments with integrated alarm contacts offer two functionalities in a single unit. The task of the pressure measurement is achieved without the need for any external power supply and thus always provides a reliable on-site display. At …
