The production of advanced chips demands an ultra pure environment, from the gases used during manufacturing to the final packaging of the products. UHP pressure transducers and UHP pressure gauges, such as the ones designed and manufactured by WIKA, play a critical …
Networked pressure sensors play a major role in automating numerous manufacturing processes. With a focus on the specific requirements of the semiconductor industry, WIKA has developed a line of robust UHP pressure transducers that fit in tight spaces and communicate …
Fittings that flake silver are a major concern in ultra-high purity (UHP) processes. That’s why WIKA has developed gall-resistant nuts made of UNS S21800 stainless steel, a chromium–iron alloy with inherent lubricity and self-mating characteristics to reduce the …
Bourdon tube gauges are commonly used for measuring pressure, but this doesn’t mean that a bourdon tube gauge is the best pressure measurement solution for all semiconductor applications. As highlighted in a respected 2018 trade magazine article, a mini …
For a leader in industrial flow equipment and services, one specific application was causing significant difficulties for their end user. The harsh environment – high-temperature chlorinated gas for fiber optic production – was causing half of their pressure …
