Diaphragm seal system detects level in PTA reactors
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsDiaphragm seal systems are ideal for many processes in the chemical industry as a resistant and safe measuring solution, for example, to monitor the level in a reactor using differential pressure. Precisely for this task, a manufacturer of terephthalic acid (Purified …
Extreme conditions: Force transducers for space travel
Markus Heidl | Applications, Force, ProductsIn space, temperatures, pressures and forces are different from those in the environments we are familiar with. This means that measurement technology “up there” is exposed to specific stresses. WIKA has now developed, tested and supplied special force transducers …
Extreme conditions: MH-4 pressure sensor for mobile working machines
Arndt W. Jahns | Applications, Pressure, ProductsMobile working machines are often used in the harshest and most remote areas of the world, from frozen tundra to scorching-hot desert. Thus they are exposed to extreme and, moreover, constantly changing operating conditions. Some of the machinery even runs non-stop. …
Pressure and temperature measurement at extremely low ambient temperatures
Christopher Ott | Know-howStandard pressure gauges and thermometers generally cope with ambient temperatures down to -40 °C. But what must be the features of a mechanical measuring instrument that works perfectly well in polar climates with even lower temperatures? This can be explained using …
