The various possible configuration levels for a pressure measurement solution are not defined conceptually in any standard. At WIKA we have chosen the following terminology: A pressure sensor (also pressure transmitter) delivers a standardised, …

DirectDrive pressure gauges – features and application areas
| Sandra BroßlerDirectDrive pressure gauges differ in structure and function from standard pressure gauges. Thus they feature special characteristics that qualify them for specific application areas. In DirectDrive pressure gauges, special pressure elements are fitted, which …
“Oxygen, oil and grease free” in calibration technology
| Jens RollmannOxygen, the gas essential for life, is far more complex in industrial applications than our daily inhalation and exhalation suggests. Industry – especially in the chemical, pharmaceutical or medical engineering fields – is, time and again, finding itself confronted …
Filling liquids in pressure gauges: Usage and advantages
| Sandra BroßlerLiquid-filled pressure gauges are used in applications that involve high dynamic shock and vibration loading. The filling liquid dampens the vibrations that occur and thus takes the load off the mechanical components of the pressure gauge. Depending on the operating …
How do diaphragm seals work?
| Jennifer BreunigDiaphragm seals, also known as chemical seals or remote seals, are used for pressure measurements when the process medium should not come into contact with the pressurised parts of the measuring instrument. A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks: 1. Separation of …
