Reduce the Risks of Particulate Contamination, Seized and Galled Threads with Gall Resistant Fitting on UHP Pressure Gauge
| Don EisenhartReplacing standard alloy fittings on a pressure gauge with gall resistant fittings is a minor change, but doing so eliminates the major issues associated with standard fittings. Fittings in a gall resistant material ensure a leak-tight seal, prevent particulate …
WIKA’s Value Innovation Workshop Helps Automation Provider Find Valve Control Solutions
| Robert LukatA 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 …
Absolute Pressure Sensors: How They Work and Why They Are Needed
| Robert LukatAbsolute pressure sensors and gauges produce readings that are not influenced by atmospheric pressure. Instruments such as altimeters and barometers display vacuum-referenced absolute pressure measurements. This article explains what absolute pressure is and the …
The Important Role of Differential Pressure Sensors in Hydroelectric Power Generation
| Ravi JethraIn 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 …
