The technical passport – the ID card for a product in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
Similar to an identity card, all technical products and equipment used in one of the CIS countries (Commonwealth of Independent States: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) have a so-called “technical passport”. Why a technical passport is required and what is behind it is explained in more detail below.Pre-requisite […]
Conversion of pressure units
The common units for the measurement parameter pressure are bar, psi, kg/cm², inHg and MPa, for example. In pressure gauge , one unit has become established in a particular country or region. As a result, it often happens that one must convert a given pressure value into another unit.For เกจวัดแรงดัน , in American data sheets, […]
Food for kids in famine regions
US subsidiary participated in a joint corporate packing eventMore than 75 employees of WIKA USA have packed food for children in famine regions together with their families. This was part of a campaign of “From Hunger to Hope” in the United States.The food packages contained rice, soy, dried vegetables and a vitamin powder. For our […]
SIL-certified: Functional safety with mechanical switches
Mechanical pressure and temperature switches perform sensitive tasks in safety-relevant applications, e.g. monitoring limit values. Their functional safety must be guaranteed accordingly. This is always the case if the instruments fulfil certain requirements of the corresponding safety integrity level (SIL) relative to the IEC 61508 standard. WIKA switches have been issued SIL approval due to […]
The ELMS1 overload protection saves lives
There is always a lot going on in a port like Antwerp. Ships arrive, they are unloaded and loaded, ships leave again – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. All as fast as possible, because time is money. In Antwerp in 2018, a container throughput of 11.1 bn € […]
CIGRE Meeting in Klingenberg
pressure gauge octa -SF6 enjoyed the honour of welcoming 47 members of the CIGRE organisation (‘Conseil International des Grands Réseaux Electriques’) to Klingenberg between 23 and 26 October 2017.CIGRE – founded in 1921 – is an international, not-for-profit association to promote cooperation between experts from around the world. Through the exchange of knowledge and the […]
Filling liquids in pressure gauges: Usage and advantages
Liquid-filled pressure gauges are used in applications that involve high dynamic shock and vibration loading. The filling liquid dampens the vibrations that occur and therefore takes the load off the mechanical the different parts of the pressure gauge.Pressure gauge with filling liquid ? model 213.53Use of filling liquidsDepending on operating conditions, glycerine-water mixtures or silicone […]
Gravimetric level measurement in vessels
In the pharmaceutical, building materials and food industries, on vessels and silos, on platforms and dosing systems, right around kitchen and bathroom scales ? weight is measured everywhere. In industry, it becomes particularly interesting when it comes to the level in vessels. There are several possibilities for weight measurement or weighing. The filling level could […]
Standard for absolute pressure gauges: DIN 16002
Filling in the gap in standardisation for measuring instruments: For absolute pressure gauges, DIN 16002 was published in mid-2017. The model 532.52 instrument family from WIKA conforms to this standard. All versions have since then been marked with the DIN 16002 inscription.Previously, for mechanical pressure measuring instruments, a uniform standard had only been available for […]
Measuring tank levels in boiler systems with DELTA-trans
The fill level in the feed tank of industrial boiler systems is a crucial process parameter to ensure a smooth energy supply of steam or hot water. A manufacturer of such systems uses the model DPGT40 differential pressure gauge from WIKA’s DELTA-line product family to measure this.The measuring instrument has proven itself. Its series name, […]
