Energy Expenditure as a Factor in Hydrogen Transport and Storage
| Alina Green | Applications, Know-howHydrogen is key to decarbonization – in the chemical industry as well as for developed nations. However, while it is relatively easy and cheap to produce, pure H 2 is notoriously difficult to transport and store. Most methods require high operational and/or energy …
The Importance of Protecting Pressure Sensors from Moisture and Water
| Robert Lukat | Know-how, PressureMoisture ingress is one of the most common causes of pressure sensor failure. To avoid this situation, select a pressure transducer or pressure transmitter with the right IP rating, measurement reference, and electrical connection. Your pressure transmitter’s …
Three Reasons to Use a Diaphragm Pressure Gauge
| Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, PressureWhen standard pressure gauges reach their limits, the process industry can use diaphragm pressure gauges to measure low pressures and protect against overload in all types of applications, including ones with aggressive or hygienic media. This article is a …
What Is a Diaphragm Pressure Gauge, and How Does It Work?
| Alina Green | Know-how, PressureThe flexible membrane in a diaphragm pressure gauge, a specialized industrial gauge, gives it several advantages over standard Bourdon tube gauges and capsule pressure gauges. A diaphragm pressure gauge, sold under the Sealgauge™ brand at WIKA and also known as …
