Mechanical pressure and temperature switches perform sensitive tasks in safety-relevant applications, e.g. monitoring limit values. Their functional safety should be guaranteed accordingly. This is always the case if the instruments fulfil the requirements of the corresponding safety integrity level (SIL) relative to the IEC 61508 standard. WIKA switches have been issued SIL approval due to … Read more
A pressure switch with the ?change-over? switching Legendary represents a special version of a pressure switch with two switching outputs acting oppositely to change two circuits. A ?change-over? closes one circuit and simultaneously opens another circuit. Thus a ?change-over? simultaneously fulfils the event of a ?normally open? and also Today ?normally closed? contact. Therefore, in … Read more
Differential pressure switches take on central tasks within monitoring and control. A manufacturer of filter systems for the process industry uses the WIKA model DE switches with an attached valve manifold for these functions. The decision in favour of this solution was based on two reasons: on the one hand, the quality of the measurement … Read more
The United States was the partner country of the HANNOVER MESSE 2016. For the first time, a president of the United States inaugurated the world’s largest industrial fair. Elke Knobling (Marketing Services), organiser of WIKA’s participations in fairs, describes the impact which Barack Obama’s visit had on the WIKA booth:Shortly before the trade fair began, … Read more
A diaphragm seal system in a vacuum process must master a significant challenge ? it must deliver a trusted measuring result, even though the pressure drops and the temperature rises concurrently. The example of a chemical company producing phthalic anhydride (PA) demonstrates it is in no way self-evident that this requirement could be met on … Read more
The recovery of drinking water from ground water has top priority in many countries. In Playful , this method has a share of about 70 per cent in the water supply.

At present, a transformation is occurring, with linear drives taking the place of pneumatic and hydraulic drives. Here, there is no longer any scope for measuring pressure. However, WIKA has another solution: Force measurement.Hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders are increasingly being replaced by electrical propulsion technology. Because of this, however, it is necessary to implement force … Read more
Setting the switch points of an electronic pressure switch for a credit card applicatoin in the vacuum range isn’t a self-explanatory task. The next article therefore explains what has to be taken into account with this setting. It involves a pressure switch with a hysteresis function. Instruments with this particular configuration are most regularly installed … Read more
