High-quality gauges and sensors \u2013 for measuring pressure, temperature, flow, and more \u2013 optimize safety and efficiency in municipal water\u00a0treatment plants.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A variety of pressure gauges and temperature sensors help plant operators monitor the health and efficiency of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/knowhow\/pumps-municipal-water-treatment-facilities\/\">pumps in water treatment facilities<\/a>. The instruments must be robust, as pumps work nonstop and create significant vibrations and shocks that can damage standard gauges. Pumps also operate in challenging conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High humidity<\/li>\n<li>Corrosive, abrasive, viscous, and clogging media<\/li>\n<li>Wide pressure variations<\/li>\n<li>Wide temperature variations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">An easy and cost-effective way to monitor pumps is to install sensors and transmitters at critical points. By spending a few hundred dollars on measuring instruments, municipal water treatment facilities can protect an expensive pump from serious harm caused by cavitation, dry running, and other incidents.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>Pressure Instruments for Wastewater Pumps<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pressure gauges and sensors at suction and discharge nozzles, delivery pipes, release valves, control circuits, and other locations on a pump help monitor the equipment\u2019s condition and ensure that it\u2019s operating properly.<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width:248px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2017\/10\/a-10-388x388.png\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A-10 pressure transmitter for general industrial applications<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<h3>Pressure at the suction side, to prevent cavitation<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cavitation is the generation of vapor bubbles, which occur in high-velocity liquids. When these bubbles collapse, the result is pressure spikes. Cavitation can also occur if the local pressure drops below the vapor pressure of the liquid and then rises above it. To avoid this condition, the net possible suction head available (NPSHa) has to be greater than the net possible suction head required (NPSHr).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monitoring the suction head (pressure in terms of the water column) can help identify problems that damage pumps. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/a_10.WIKA?highlightedText=A-10\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">A-10 pressure transmitter<\/a> features a piezoelectric sensor or thin-film technology, making it highly resistant to pressure spikes and vibration. It has an all-welded stainless steel measuring cell and does not need any soft sealing. A variety of available electrical process connections meets the requirements of almost any application.<\/p>\n<h3>Pressure at the discharge side, to ensure proper operations<\/h3>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:308px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2016\/10\/xsel\u00ae-process-gauge-388x388.png\" alt=\"XSEL\u00ae Process Gauge\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">XSEL\u00ae process gauge<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p>Both underpressure and overpressure on the outlet side reduce a power plant\u2019s efficiency. All XSEL<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> models \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/212_34_213_34.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">21X.34<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/232_34_233_34.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">23X.34<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/262_34_263_34.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">26X.34<\/a> \u2013 feature a Bourdon tube design and movement with hardened components that reduce stress and wear. The innovative XSEL<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> process pressure gauge exceeds pressure gauge performance testing standards ASME B40.100 and EN 837-1. And it\u2019s safer, too: The XSEL<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> has a fire-resistant case according to flammability rating UL 94, V-0 test procedures.<\/p>\n<p>XSEL<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> process pressure gauge movements are Swiss-made, producing one of the most precise and reliable movements available today. WIKA\u2019s industry-best warranty on all XSEL<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> process pressure gauges include a standard five-year warranty on the pressure gauge and a 10-year warranty on the pressure system. The XSEL<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> process gauge sets a standard of value as well: It is an economical solution for most processing applications since it reduces downtime from having to regularly replace worn-out instruments.<\/p>\n<h3>Differential temperature and pressure between the suction and the discharge fluid, to assess pump efficiency<\/h3>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:183px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2019\/05\/tr10-300x471.png\" alt=\"TR10 Resistance Thermometer\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">TR10 RTD sensor<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p>To make sure a pump is working at optimal capacity, technicians can place highly accurate temperature sensors and pressure transmitters at both the suction and discharge sides. If the pump isn\u2019t operating as efficiently as it can be, there will be a drop in pressure and temperature. This is thermodynamic monitoring, which does not require measuring the actual flow rate to determine efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/a_10.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">A-10 pressure transmitter<\/a> is precision-engineered for excellent performance. The standard model has a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/knowhow\/pressure-transmitter-accuracy-and-non-linearity\/\">non-linearity<\/a> (BFSL) of \u2264\u00b10.5% of span, and there\u2019s an option for \u2264\u00b10.25% of span. This versatile and rugged transmitter can withstand a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions, as well as the extreme shock and vibrations found in power plants.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/tr10_0.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">TR10 series of RTD sensors<\/a> can be mounted into a thermowell, or directly into the process with a spring-loaded compression fitting for easy installation and replacement. The TR10 has the option of a transmitter to convert the resistance signal into an analog or a digital output, which can be easily customized to a variety of conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Differential pressure at filters and strainers, to assess debris accumulation<\/h3>\n<p>If pressure drops at the discharge side, that\u2019s a good indication the strainer or filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. Monitoring the pressure differential between the inlet and outlet of a pump can also indicate overall efficiency and help identify conditions where cavitation is likely to occur.<\/p>\n<p>The SP007 differential pressure transducer is fully configurable. Users have a choice of six pressure ports, five electrical connections, and a voltage or current output to match the needs of their applications. The SP007 has a standard accuracy of 0.25% and an optional high accuracy of 0.1%.<\/p>\n<h2>Temperature Instruments for\u00a0Wastewater\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1.25rem\">Pumps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Resistance thermometers (RTDs) on pumps and motors help detect temperature changes that can warn operators of potentially dangerous and costly issues.<\/p>\n<h3>Temperature at the bearings, to prevent overheating<\/h3>\n<p>A change in the bearing temperature of a pump and\/or motor can indicate a developing failure or a change in loading. The compact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/tr58.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">TR58 bearing RTD sensor<\/a> is designed for areas where space is an issue. It uses thin-film technology and responds extremely fast. With no moving parts, it is vibration-resistant and perfect for measuring temperature in thrust bearing plates, shafts, and motor windings. The TR58 can be spring loaded into the bearings\u2019 housing or held in position with a high temperature epoxy resin.<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:133px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2023\/08\/fsd-4-3.jpeg\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">FSD-4 flow sensor<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/p>\n<h2>Flow Instruments for Wastewater Pumps<\/h2>\n<p>A pump is \u201cdry running\u201d \u2013 in a nearly empty pipe condition \u2013 when the suction side doesn\u2019t receive enough fluid.
