In hydroelectric power generation, dirt and debris in the intake water can shorten the lifetime of turbine blades. Filters inside intake pipes trap the debris so that only sediment-free water hits the blades. A differential pressure sensor/transducer measures the flow …
A number of recent studies have demonstrated that pressure sensor diagnostics in mobile machinery mean less work for field technicians and millions of dollars of cost savings for manufacturers. According to data collected by WIKA from off-road vehicle …
Increasing material costs, unplanned equipment downtime, unpredictable weather, government regulations – the list of uncontrollable issues facing industries today goes on. In particular, the mining, construction and agriculture sectors encounter these problems …
Electronic pressure sensors can stop working for a variety of reasons. Understanding those reasons is a key step in preventing future failures. A pressure sensor plays a key role in the instrumentation of machinery and processes. When sensors fail, the process …
MTTF/ MTBF and service life of an industrial pressure sensor: How long can I expect an industrial pressure sensor to last before it fails? Industrial pressure sensors are electronic instruments containing a number of components that are typically assembled in semi- …
