In geothermal plants, transforming the earth’s heat into electricity imposes challenging conditions on pressure measurement equipment. WIKA’s pressure monitoring instruments and diaphragm seals can withstand harsh environments, as shown in a recent installation at …
Diaphragm seals
ASME BPE Study Leads to New Recommendations to Help Prevent Process Contamination
Patrick McGrath | Applications, PressureWIKA inline diaphragm seals and flow-through thermowells either reduce or eliminate dead legs where bacterial or fungal contamination can develop in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Process engineers know for decades that “dead legs” in piping and …
WIKA’s Measurement Technology Helps Pharmaceutical Company Improve Product Consistency
Chi-Che Ma | ApplicationsPharmaceuticals are not cheap to manufacture. The extensive research and clinical trials required to develop and market a new drug are a major factor in the overall cost of production. What’s more, many cutting-edge medications today require complex and expensive …
Diaphragm Seal Pattern Matching Prevents Damage, Reduces Temperature Effects
Chi-Che Ma | PressureDiaphragm seals are a common accessory for pressure gauges and sensors in many refining and manufacturing applications. The pressure of the media being measured bends the flexible diaphragm slightly inward, and this movement displaces the fluid behind the seal into the …
Common Causes of Diaphragm Seal Failure
Chi-Che Ma | PressureA diaphragm seal is an efficient, affordable solution for those instances in which pressure instrumentation cannot be in direct contact with the process. A flexible diaphragm seal protects pressure transmitters, transducers, gauges, and switches from contact with …
