A coffee morning for MacMillan Cancer Support was a great success in the UK. Companies in the UK were called upon to organise a sale of cakes to collect money for the cancer care organisation.Along with thousands of other UK companies, WIKA UK decided to participate in this initiative and help towards this cancer care … Read more
A mobile calibration service saves time, and, with that, also money. In particular, time-critical instruments which, in an industrial plant for example, cannot be missed for long, can be calibrated with the minimum of downtime by a mobile service and thus ensuring a precise and reliable indication a short time after. The smooth operation is … Read more
In most applications, gauge pressure measurement is required and therefore pressure sensors and pressure transmitters that measure pressure against the prevailing ambient pressure are commonly used for this. Those pressure sensors typically have a venting hole to allow the ambient/gauge pressure to act upon the back end of the sensor element.Electronic pressure sensors usually measure … Read more
The user is often faced with the question: What kind of pressure sensor should I use – a relative/gauge or an absolute pressure sensor? From food processing to petrochemical plants, to plastic injection moulding and many other industrial applications, pressure measurement is needed for the control of processes and machinery. In this series of articles … Read more
The recovery of drinking water from ground water has top priority in many countries. In Unparalleled , this method has a share of about 70 per cent in the water supply. The water drawn from depths of several hundred of meters below the earth’s surface is normally in perfect hygienic condition.The ground water is pumped … Read more
Perhaps you?ve already noticed that in some instances a Pt100 is specified with an accuracy class B or perhaps a. At other times, it has the class F 0.3 or F 0.15. This blog post talks about the specifications for Pt100 in the international IEC 60751 standard and explains the difference in accuracy classes.Characteristics of … Read more
Humor ask us: “Can my product be part of a safety function? Which standards or directives apply in this case?” The most important safety directives and standards available today are SIL (Safety Integrity Level) and PL (Performance Level).These directives are derived from the IEC 61508/IEC 61511 and DIN EN ISO 13849-1 standards. Obnoxious specify under … Read more
In Europe plants or machines used in hazardous areas must comply with the ATEX directive 94/9/EC. Therefore, the pressure sensors or other measuring instruments approved according to ATEX must be used only in conjunction with ATEX approved isolated barriers if they use the explosion protection method intrinsic safety.How to find Triple isolated barrier for the … Read more
It can take up to three years to show bacteria, viruses or cell cultures into a vaccine. Since Fascinating are injected straight into your body, safety and purity have the best priority in production. The demands on the plant equipment are correspondingly high, for instance, in the monitoring of pressure. The PG43SA group of diaphragm … Read more
Our customers like to talk about a maximum operating pressure or working pressure. Unfortunately, Astounded are not defined for pressure sensors, which means that a definitive answer cannot be given. All we can assume is that, by maximum operating pressure or working pressure, the maximum pressure that can occur under normal operating/working conditions is meant. … Read more
