Pressure gauges in general can handle ambient temperatures as low as −40°F (−40°C). However, once you get closer to the Arctic Circle, temperatures exceeding −40°F become the norm.
WIKA USA's new Dual Switch Gauge offers customers reliable information and exceptional versatility for pressure monitoring in semiconductor, high purity (HP), and ultra-high purity (UHP) applications. Learn more.
Sometimes, references to pressure transmitter accuracy are actually about the non-linearity of the pressure transmitter’s response. Although accuracy and non-linearity are related, the two terms are not the same and shouldn’t be used interchangeably.
A diaphragm seal makes measuring pressure safer and more reliable – even in extreme working conditions – and is ideal for protecting pressure instrumentation and process transmitters. Discover the basic principle behind diaphragm seals and when to use them.
Three specific types of errors have a negative impact on pressure sensor accuracy. This easy-to-understand video from WIKA explains the difference between zero-point errors, span errors, and non-linearity.
Pressure and temperature instrument dials with big, bright numbers increase instrument visibility and readability. WIKA USA’s retro-reflective dial background makes it even easier to locate a critical installation among the sea of industrial gauges, adding to the speed of taking a correct reading.
A plant operator’s biggest fear is an unplanned shutdown. The process can place a heavy amount of stress on both operations and maintenance personnel. Alternatively, taking full advantage of a planned shutdown or turnaround is critical.
PGI answered customer requests for a lower stem handleturning torque by introducing their new Low-Torque™ Grafoil® bonnet and packing design. Grafoil® Stem Seal Torque Reduced 50%.
Parker Autoclave Engineers have taken a variety of in-house technologies and created a patent-pending simple to make connection using easy-to use tools that is as safe as a Cone & Thread connection without any of the vibration sensitivity.
Achieving a leak-free connection in any environment is the Holy Grail for many piping and instrumentation engineers. Traditional hookups use a multitude of valves and fittings – creating lots of potential leak points. The good news is, adopting ten easy steps can radically reduce leakage risks and achieve substantial cost and efficiency savings.
A lesson for me is that I need to involve you earlier in the program.
You were tireless in your support and it will not be forgotten!
