Jeff Placek | PressureWIKA was the first company to produce a true OEM pressure transmitter with self-diagnostics, designed specifically to meet the challenges of pressure measurement in mobile working machines. The MH-3 has been successfully tried in the field and is a proven solution …
4 Situations that Call for a Pressure Connection with a Flush Diaphragm
Robert Lukat | PressureWhat’s the difference between a pressure sensor with an internal diaphragm and one with a flush diaphragm? And which one should you choose when measuring pressure in your application? This WIKA video explains what situations call for a pressure connection with a …
Absolute Pressure Sensors: How They Work and Why They Are Needed
Robert Lukat | Know-how, PressureAbsolute pressure sensors and gauges produce readings that are not influenced by fluctuating atmospheric pressure. These precision instruments are used in vacuum pumps, meteorology, laboratories, and aviation/aerospace. There are different types of …
The Important Role of Differential Pressure Sensors in Hydroelectric Power Generation
Ravi Jethra | PressureIn hydroelectric power generation, dirt and debris in the intake water can shorten the lifetime of turbine blades. Filters inside intake pipes trap the debris so that only sediment-free water hits the blades. A differential pressure sensor/transducer measures the flow …
