Your WIKA newsletter "Health is not everything, but without health, everything else is nothing." Arthur Schopenhauer
In the last few months, we have all had to put up with restrictions in our private and professional lives that have never been seen before. We are therefore happy about the gradual easing of public life in recent weeks and the return to normality that has come with it.
We hope you and your family are doing well.
Enjoy reading our news.

We hope you will understand and we would be happy to welcome you again as a visitor to our stand at the next exhibition. Our experts will be glad to advise you and look forward to exchanging ideas with you about your individual measuring tasks and requirements.
Would you like to stay up-to-date or do you have a question? Just take a look at our WIKA exhibition schedule or get in touch with us using our contact form. | | | | 2. WIKA online shop: We're here for you! We do everything we can to supply our customers worldwide with the quality they are accustomed to, even during the current situation. By adapting our inventory of end products, components and materials, we can continue to guarantee high availability of stock and production items and the usual accessibility. Our delivery agents have also taken appropriate precautions so that fast shipping can continue to happen.
It's been a while since you've been to our WIKA online shop? Our portfolio has also been growing steadily, have a look – we are just a click away. | | | | 3. Hastelloy pressure gauge for highly aggressive media For pressure measurement in processes with highly aggressive media, WIKA has a new Bourdon tube pressure gauge in its portfolio, the PG28. The wetted parts are made of Hastelloy C276 and are even resistant to chlorine gas, hydrofluoric acid and sulphuric acid.
Users therefore have a corrosion-resistant measuring solution that requires little installation space. The new Bourdon tube pressure gauge is available in nominal sizes 100 and 160, can be supplied with scale ranges from 0 to 700 bar and is suitable for ATEX and NACE sour gas applications. | | | | 4. Further application examples for machine building New application examples, measurement technology and services: WIKA has expanded the contents of its brochure with instrumentation solutions for the machine-building industry. From linear drives, wind turbines and water jet cutting to weighing technology, high-pressure test benches and cranes & hoists: Six new application examples can now be found in the brochure and on the website.
Each application is matched with relevant instrumentation from the WIKA portfolio, dependent on the need for the measurands pressure, temperature, level, flow and force. | | | | 5. OEM pressure sensor for mobile working machines The new MH-4 OEM pressure sensor has been tailored to a wide spectrum of applications under extreme conditions. The robustness of the new sensor has been confirmed through hardness tests in accordance with mobile hydraulic standards and on a customer-specific basis.
The sensor withstands pressure spikes in hydraulic systems with up to three-times overload safety, vibrations up to 40 g and mechanical shocks of up to 100 g. Furthermore, it is insensitive to fast temperature changes between -40 °C and 125 °C as well as immune against electrical field strengths of up to 100 V/m. | | | | 6. Accreditation for further measurand A lot of test equipment is calibrated in defined cycles – including force measuring instruments. This is of great importance in order to ensure, among other things, process safety. Within the WIKA Group, DAkkS calibration certificates for force measuring instruments that are traceable and accredited in accordance with ISO 17025 can now be issued in Germany.
The calibration is made in a measuring range of 1 kN … 200 kN with a measurement uncertainty of 0.1 % in tension and compression force direction (DIN EN ISO 376). Furthermore, in the measuring range of 500 N … 6 MN, with a system accuracy of 0.5 % in tension and compression force direction, a 3.1 inspection certificate can be issued.
The range of services depend on the region you are. For more information please visit the local website for your country. | | | | 7. Load cell systems for hospital beds Hospital beds with built-in weighing components have quickly become critical devices for monitoring patient conditions in order to ensure an optimal supply of medication, liquids or anaesthetics. In order to monitor the patient's health, it is important to know whether weight is being gained or lost, especially in premature babies.
WIKA offers highly customisable load cell systems for manufacturers of high-tech hospital beds so that people who can no longer walk don't need to leave the bed for the weighing process.

The accuracy of a pressure sensor is determined under laboratory conditions at room temperature. However, this is usually not the case when the instrument is in use, because here the operating temperature often deviates from room temperature. This can have a number of effects on the accuracy of the measuring instrument. WIKA specifies these possible deviations within the so-called total error band.

Electronic differential pressure measurement for level control Differential pressure measurement is widely used as a method for monitoring the level of closed vessels. When monitoring the level using electronic differential pressure measurement, both measuring points have one process transmitter each.
These are arranged as master and slave and are connected, purely electrically, via a signal cable and are therefore not susceptible to disturbances. The slave is supplied with power via the master and parameterised via a serial interface or through the display on the master. Communication is via an internal bus.
