WIKA USA Diaphragm Seal Division, formerly RJ Global, offers diaphragm seals that save customers significant time and money. <\/span>Instead of replacing an entire process transmitter, send the damaged diaphragm seal assembly – regardless of the fire – to the Houston-based facility for fast turnarounds on repairs.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some users assume they have to replace the entire process transmitter when a <\/span><\/span>diaphragm seal fails<\/span><\/span><\/a>. <\/span>This is an expensive and time-consuming process, as switching to a new transmitter takes about eight weeks and tens of thousands of dollars. <\/span>In contrast, WIKA USA’s Diaphragm Seal Division (WIKA DSD), <\/span><\/span>formerly known as RJ Global<\/span><\/span><\/a>, wants to repair or replace the damaged diaphragm – saving as much as 60-70% of the cost of a new transmitter assembly and wait time.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WIKA’s Approach to Diaphragm Seal Repair or Replacement<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

When a diaphragm seal fails on a jobsite, the cause of the damage is usually corrosion, high temperatures, excess pressure, or careless handling. <\/span>But even though the diaphragm seal is no longer working properly, the transmitter itself is undamaged. <\/span>That’s why it makes more sense to repair or replace just the nonfunctioning part.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The process is fast and easy:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A user sends WIKA DSD the decontaminated assembly.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A certified instrumentation technician tests the transmitter to verify that it is fully operational.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The technician then inspects the damaged seal assembly, which parts are reusable, and send the user a quote.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. WIKA DSD fills the repaired assembly and calibrates it according to the user’s specifications.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. The user receives the repaired assembly.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thanks to WIKA DSD’s in-house expertise, fast turnarounds are not a problem. <\/span>Rush repairs are completed in as little as 24-48 hours, while non-rush jobs are completed within 10 business days.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Offshore Oil Rig Benefits for WIKA’s Diaphragm Seal Repair Service<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

    A leader in the oil and gas industry <\/span>had four transmitters with 3-inch \/ 1,500 lb. <\/span>flanges that needed diaphragm seal replacements. <\/span>Not only were the flanges a rare size, but the customer needed the repaired transmitters within three days. <\/span>Adding to the time constraints was the logistics of shipping the assembly to an offshore rig in the Gulf of Mexico.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    For other providers, repairing rare-size process connections would normally require weeks of lead time. <\/span>Simply ordering the same size could take up to three months. <\/span>But because WIKA DSD stocks rare-sized flanges for short-notice situations like this, there was no need to order parts and wait for them to arrive. <\/span>And since our ISO 9001 accredited facility is based in Houston, we were able to repair the process transmitters and have them arrive at the oil rig within three days.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Hassle-Free Diaphragm Services<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

    There is no need to throw away a damaged diaphragm seal assembly or deal with multiple companies for parts and repairs. <\/span>Customers save money and time by using a provider that wants salvage usable parts, fix what is broken, and then refill, recalibrate, and recertify the assembly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    WIKA DSD has been designing and manufacturing diaphragm seal technologies for large OEM process transmitter companies for more than 15 years, installing thousands of unique applications around the world. <\/span>Our highly trained technicians can repair any diaphragm seal assembly, regardless of the transmitter manufacturer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
