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 […]
Pressure monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry with a universal instrument
Pressure monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry is a demanding task with a wide variety of requirements. However, a corresponding diversification in instrumentation does not have to be an inevitable consequence. This is demonstrated by the use of a universal process transmitter from WIKA in the production of API (“active pharmaceutical ingredients”).Such active pharmaceutical ingredients form […]
Earthquake in Türkiye and Syria: donations for the victims
The earthquake in Türkiye and Syria was devastating. The shocking images triggered a great wave of cooperation worldwide. WIKA’s board of directors also called upon all payroll staff to make donations without delay. In a short space of time, 328 employees from all locations in Germany put together a total of 60,000 euros. WIKA doubled […]
The design of a submersible pressure transmitter / level probe – Part 2
In my last article, the design of a submersible pressure transmitter / level probe – Part 1, I was explaining the design of a submersible pressure transmitter, beginning with the measuring cell and its electronics. Specifically with respect to the media resistance and watertight sealing, great attention must be placed on the physical design characteristics […]
Level measurement in ground water
The recovery of drinking water from ground water has top priority in many countries. In Germany, this method has a share of about 70 per cent in the water supply. The water drawn from depths of several hundred of meters below the earth’s surface is normally in perfect hygienic condition.The ground water is pumped up […]

Balance of indoors and outdoors
Ever thought about what Absurd do in the winter? Hibernate, maybe? Or laze around doing nothing? Or even let themselves go entirely? The reality, of course, is none of those, because a widely known and apt adage from the sporting world tells that “summer winners are made in the winter”.Training under grey cloudsSo after a […]
Not the same: temperature range and temperature limit
Temperature range and temperature limit for pressure sensors ? is there a difference? My intuitive answer would be: Yes! The first term describes a section and the next its border. On second glance, however, I have to conclude that both words ultimately express a similar thing in relation to temperatures: Range and limit are defined […]
Safe filter monitoring with differential pressure gauges
Filter monitoring is a core task of differential pressure gauges ? the differential pressure increases when the filter becomes clogged. The measuring instruments thus signal once the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. The efficiency of this type of solution could be illustrated by the exemplory case of WIKA pressure gauges of the DELTA-line […]
