As a family-run business acting globally, with 10,200 highly qualified employees, the WIKA group of companies is a worldwide leader in pressure and temperature measurement. WIKA also sets the standard in the measurement of level, force and flow, and in calibration technology.

WIKA Digital Switches

Developed as compact, intuitive and integrated solutions, WIKA have now have digital electronic switches available for pressure, flow and temperature measurement (the PSD-4, TSD-30 and FSD-4 family). These units have all been designed as flexibly configurable, integral local displays, scalable outputs and easy to setup.

Over the past 75 years, WIKA has built a reputation as a distinguished manufacturer and competent specialist for any task in the field of measurement technology. Based on steadily growing efficiency, innovative new technologies are applied when developing new products and system solutions. The reliability of the products and the readiness to face all challenges of the industries served have been the key factors for WIKA to achieve a leading position in the global process and instrumentation markets.

The WIKA programme is divided into several product lines and is thus suited to fulfil requirements of the widest range of applications, including pressure gauges, sensors & transmitters, level & temperature measurement solutions, force transducers & calibration equipment.

When it comes to pressure sensors, there is a tremendous number of choices available in today’s marketplace. All the different measuring technologies and principles that are promoted by manufacturers can make choosing the correct one a seemingly impossible task.

In this blog, we will specifically be showcasing some of our digital pressure sensors with advanced communication protocols, including possibilities of utilising IO-Link, USB and I2C.

Being eco-friendly means living in a way that is not harmful to the environment. This way of life is becoming increasingly important as we need to protect our planet from man-made damage. In the ever changing and ever-growing world we live in, we are all now more than ever trying to do our bit to sustain a healthier future. Gloucestershire County Council have teamed up with two well established businesses to try and do just that.

The Gloucestershire Energy from Waste (EfW) Facility is an environmentally sound solution for processing the county’s waste that cannot be recycled. The facility accepts up to 190,000 tonnes of residual waste each year from local homes and, the County’s household recycling centers and contracted third-party commercial waste. In turn, producing over 116,000 megawatt hours for the National Grid every year – enough energy to power 25,000 homes!
 

The facility boasts an on-site Visitor Centre providing educational tours, courses and workshops for community and educational groups to show how the county’s waste is being converted into energy and how the facility supports Gloucestershire’s recycling activities.
 

Negative pressure rooms are critical spaces constructed to help battle infections. In hospital and other medical enviroments they are often referred to as isolation rooms, although they can also be found in various pharmaceutical and industrial settings for critical manufacturing processes. 

Typically, having both visual and audible alarming capabilities is essential in these spaces to ensure the highest level of cleanliness standards. By utilsing negative pressure, you can help minimise and prevent the spread or transmission of infectious airbourne particles such as bacteria, viruses, fungi etc. COVID-19 has created heightened awareness of the need for negative pressure patient care spaces beyond the typical hospital isolation rooms.
