Spring Gasket Assembly Protects the Float Inside a Level Gauge
| Patrick McGrath | LevelEven the best designed and matched-to-conditions level gauge can encounter unexpected pressure issues, which could crush a magnetic level indicator’s float. If this occurs, fragments could enter the process and contaminate a batch. A simple spring gasket assembly …
Float-Based Level Measurement Is Ideal for Pharma Fermenters: A Case Study
| Patrick McGrath | LevelInstrumentation that uses a float to measure level and transmit signals can be optimally adapted to challenging media conditions. WIKA’s level measurement engineers helped a major pharmaceutical company find a replacement for its older level sensors that were not as …
