Measuring instruments for pressure and temperature are used in almost all areas of industrial manufacturing. As a result of continuous mechanical, chemical and thermal loading, these instruments age and can therefore not guarantee the correctness of the measured values …

RoHS marking and certificates
Peter Ottens | Know-howI am often asked, “How is a RoHS marking actually carried out?” The quick answer: EU RoHS will, from 22nd July 2017, be visible in the CE marking and the declaration of conformity linked to it. China RoHS conformant instruments carry a green logo. Non-conformant …
EAC approval for pressure gauges and thermometers: What must be considered?
Jürgen Reiser | Know-howWhoever exports measuring instruments or other technical goods to Russia and many of its neighbouring countries, has to go through the certification process of the “Eurasian Conformity” (EAC). An EAC approval is comparable with CE conformity. It is issued for each …
Against overheating: Differential pressure gauges as flow monitors
Manuel Schwestka | Know-howDifferential pressure gauges are not only suitable for the typical applications such as monitoring and control of filters or pumps. They can take on the function of a flow monitor, for example, in heat transfer oil plants. They thus control the volume flow of the …
Fittings for pressure gauges: mitigating the effects of dynamic load cycles
Manuel Schwestka | Know-howIn several processes, pressure gauges are temporarily subjected to heavy loading. Dynamic load cycles, for example, can permanently damage the measuring instrument. This can be prevented by mounting the appropriate Fittings. Dynamic load cycles often result from …
