In 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 …
Mobile 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. …
Standard 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 …
With hydrostatic level measurement, temperature fluctuations in the medium have an effect on the accuracy of the measurement result. But why is that, and how can you minimise the influence of temperature on hydrostatic level measurement? In the blog post “ …
"At best, a thermometer only ever measures its own temperature". The aim is therefore to equalise the temperature of the sensor element to that of the medium to be measured. Only then will the thermometer display the actual medium temperature. The heat …
