Turning hydrogen into kilometres
Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) powered by hydrogen are climate-friendly and also powerful. The growing demand for these zero-emission drives is currently focused first of all on commercial vehicles. In Switzerland for instance, the ?H2 Mobility Initiative?, in collaboration with a major automobile manufacturer, aims to introduce 1,600 hydrogen-powered trucks to its roads by 2025. […]
Sensor status always in view with diagnostic function and IO-Link
Is the measuring instrument still working as it should? Pressure sensors with integrated diagnostic function and IO-Link provide information about their status at a glance. What this means in detail can be illustrated using the example of model A-1200 sensor from WIKA.The A-1200 is designed for use in industrial applications, especially for pressure measurement tasks […]
Marking of pressure sensors and transmitters according to ATEX Guideline 94/9/EC ? how exactly to read the ATEX label on pressure sensors
If pressure sensors, pressure transmitters along with other field equipment are employed in the vicinity of flammable gases or dust, they may be subject to marking relative to the ATEX product guideline 94/9/EC. ATEX requires the type label of the sensor to include the ATEX marking, so usually this is labelled directly onto the sensor […]

EAC approval for pressure gauges and thermometers: What must be considered?
Whoever 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 instrument type.Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are a significant market for manufacturers of measuring instruments. […]
Mobile calibration service
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 […]
Pressure switches in booster pumps
The invention of the pump itself was a significant breakthrough for mankind. It significantly simplified the way to obtain drinking water. With growing demands for a stable water supply, largely clear of pressure fluctuations, and at exactly the same time increasing demands on the energy efficiency of buildings, pumps are now making their contribution as […]
COD VS BOD
What is the distinction between chemical oxygen demand (COD) and organic oxygen demand (BOD)? Both COD and BOD testing methods are designed to indicate the quantity of contamination in a water pattern. COD is the quantity of oxygen required to chemically break down contaminants, while BOD is the amount of oxygen required for biodegradation by […]
How does one specify the switch point of a float switch?
In the specification of the switch points of a float switch, misunderstandings always lead to unsuitable product designs. How one correctly specifies the switch point of a float switch will be explained here.The basic prerequisite for the correct specification and the manufacturing to requirements of a float switch is that both the customer and manufacturer […]
