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 … Read more
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 … Read more
The earthquake in Türkiye and Syria was devastating. The shocking images triggered a great wave of cooperation worldwide.

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 … Read more
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 … Read more
