3. Pressure measuring instruments for the pharmaceutical industry – versatile in application
3. Pressure measuring instruments for the pharmaceutical industry – versatile in application
The PG43SA family of diaphragm pressure gauges for food and pharmaceutical applications always measure reliably and reduce the risk of contamination in your process.

The PG43SA-S is now also approved for applications in Ex h zone 1 (gas) and zone 21 (dust) hazardous areas. In addition, the complete product family now also has GOST approval.

Furthermore, the patented PG43SA-D pressure gauge with an integrated monitoring function is among the top 5 in its category for the coveted ACHEMA Innovation Award 2018.

Learn more about this instrument family, its benefits and applications, in the current flyer.

4. Digital dead-weight tester enables efficient calibrations
4. Digital dead-weight tester enables efficient calibrations
The CPD8500 is an innovative primary standard that combines proven dead-weight tester technology with the efficiency of digital pressure measurement. An external mass load is not needed.

In addition, the CPD8500 automatically detects the environmental parameters and vacuum reference using internal sensors, enabling effortless measurement. It offers a wide pressure range from 1 bar (15 psi) to 500 bar (7,250 psi) with accuracies of up to 35 ppm. The new dead-weight tester is compatible with the measuring heads of its predecessor, the CPD8000, and is available in an absolute or gauge pressure version.

5. WEgrid Solutions – it's not only the name that's new
As part of the renaming of the “SF6 Solutions” company division to “WEgrid Solutions”, a new segment brochure has been published. In addition to the WIKA company logo, the new WEgrid logo also graces the cover of the new issue.

The new brochure is intended to strengthen WIKA's brand image as a multi-layered supplier of complete solutions in the energy transmission sector. Alongside the current product portfolio, the new edition illustrates the Services division as well as the new digitisation concept of “WEgrid Asset Protection”.

6. Force – what actually is it?
6. Force – what actually is it?
What is force? What forces are there? How do forces actually arise and how do they act?

Whether attraction, gravity, wind or lifting force – the term force, which originates from physics, is always present in everyday life. Whether force measurement in cranes, lifting gear or mobile machinery: a force sensor can make a significant contribution to time savings because the security of an investment or failure safety can be guaranteed. So, when it comes to which force sensor is best for your application and how you can save space, weight and cost, contact us.

Also read our other blog posts on the subject of force. Our authors are happy to share their knowledge and to answer your questions.

7. Pressure switch for superior industrial applications
7. Pressure switch for superior industrial applications
From pumps, through hydraulic systems to autoclaves: The PSM-550 pressure switch has been designed for superior industrial applications.

The instrument switches electrical loads up to 230 V AC / 10 A with a non-repeatability of the switch point of ≤ 1 %. It can be delivered both with setting ranges for gauge pressure (0 … 300 mbar to 10 … 30 bar) and with vacuum setting ranges (-1 … 0 bar and -0.8 … +5 bar).
