High temperatures, aggressive media, vibration, submersion — the S-20 industrial pressure sensor can be customized to operate in these and other tough conditions without affecting accuracy. Its versatility and durability are what make this transmitter the pressure …
For optimal safety and performance, electrical equipment needs to be sheltered from the environment. Both a NEMA rating and an IP rating indicate the level of protection a device has against outside conditions, ranging from falling dust to ocean waves. These two …
In addition to their designed use of sedating patients before surgery, anesthesia machines have become an important tool in the treatment of those with a coronavirus-related respiratory disease. WIKA USA manufactures a medical pressure transducer that is ideal for use …
Liquid level monitoring reaches a new height with WIKA’s innovative solution: a system that uses two interconnected process transmitters for differential pressure measurement. This configuration is extremely precise, easy to install and use, and not susceptible to …
Differential pressure transmitters are designed to measure pressure before and after the fluid encounters an interruption, such as a filter or pump. However, this pressure instrument can also be used to measure liquid levels. The market offers several …
Almost everyone uses the terms pressure sensor , pressure transducer , and pressure transmitter interchangeably, and that’s okay! What‘s in a name? When it comes to electronic pressure sensing, the answer for many users is “not much.” Manufacturers …
As more industrial machines and processes become interconnected, manufacturers need components that can talk to one another. WIKA’s A-1200 pressure sensor is the smart solution for future-focused automated factories. The Internet of Things (IoT) is …
Many industrial applications rely on electronic instruments to convert pressure measurement into standard signals. The A-10 and S-20 are robust industrial pressure sensors that minimize downtimes and creates less work for field technicians. Pressure …
Three specific types of errors have a negative impact on pressure sensor accuracy. This easy-to-understand video from WIKA explains the difference between zero-point errors, span errors, and non-linearity. Inaccuracies in pressure instrumentation occur when the …
What’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 …
Sometimes, references to pressure transmitter accuracy are actually about the non-linearity of the pressure transmitter’s response. Although accuracy and non-linearity are related, the two terms are not the same and shouldn’t be used interchangeably. The …
Some processes and working conditions are prone to explosions. To maintain a hazard-free environment, you need components – including a pressure measuring device – that are either intrinsically safe or explosion-proof. As it’s not recommended to mix the two …
WIKA USA has added to its extensive line of measurement solutions a sub-one inch, submersible pressure sensor – ideal for level measurement and monitoring in water treatment and wastewater applications. The LF-1 comes with a variety of customizable options, including …
A major automation solutions provider wanted to update the valve control system it was using in two products in order to get more information and to gain better control. Analysis of the problem during a WIKA Value Innovation Workshop helped develop a proprietary valve …
