WIKA is the world’s leading manufacturer of pressure measurement devices and gauges. WIKA Pressure gauges provide an integral measurement service for many applications. These devices ensure long-term stability, high accuracy, and durability for pressure management during operation.
What is the usage of WIKA pressure gauges?
Pressure gauges by WIKA are designed to evaluate pressure from gases and liquids, in several applications. Moreover, WIKA pressure gauges are the most accurate measuring technology that ensure mechanical reliability and safety.
WIKA pressure gauges evaluate absolute pressure, differential pressure, both positive and negative gauge pressures. There are various measuring systems such as diaphragm element, Bourdon tube, and capsule element technologies to provide solutions for diverse applications.
Additionally, there are special pressure elements from copper alloys, stainless steel, or special materials to meet all the industrial requirements. The scale ranges of WIKA pressure gauges are from 0 … 0.5 mbar to 0 … 6,000 bar and the indication of accuracy is up to 0.1 %.
Types of pressure gauges:
- Diaphragm Pressure Gauge: suitable for fluid in a system and designed to measure low-pressure intensities.
- Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge: it is the most used pressure gauge, compatible with liquid or gaseous forms for vacuum. It measures pressure without electric supply, and it is suitable for low and high-pressure applications.
- Capsule Pressure Gauge: utilized for calculating the pressure of gases of substances with up to 600 mbar.
- Absolute Pressure Gauge: ideally used to measure the pressure independent of the natural variations in atmospheric pressure. Commonly used in Heating, ventilation, aeronautics, air conditioning systems, and distillation processes.
- Differential Pressure Gauge: It measures the difference between the pressure in two chambers separated by an element. This element moves back and forward according to the changes in pressure.
- Manometer Pressure Gauge: it measures the pressure of fluids by balancing one column of fluid against the 2nd column of fluid.
- Piezometer Pressure Gauge: It measures the medium pressure range of liquids.
- Bellows Pressure Gauge: it is suitable to measure low-pressure applications.
Applications of WIKA Pressure Gauges in Saudi Arabia industries:
Pressure gauges are stable, accurate, important, and inexpensive devices, designed to suit various industries and different applications. The followings are the applications of WIKA pressure gauges according to the types:
Differential pressure gauges are the perfect solution to monitor filtration, liquid level, and liquid flow in various industries. Likewise, these devices are perfect in refineries, petrochemical, chemical, power plants, and among other places.
Gauge pressure devices are the most common pressure measuring devices in the industrial world. For instance, refinery, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, refrigeration, air-conditioning, and sanitation industries employ gauge pressure devices.
Absolute pressure gauges are suitable to perform distillation operations in the oil refining industry, measure vacuum reactors, and vapor pressure of liquids. Furthermore, to check leakage in tanks and circuits, and measure the fall in pressure of distillation vacuum columns.
10 benefits of pressure gauges in Saudi Arabia Industries:
- Pressure gauges are useful in a wide range of applications and industries.
- WIKA pressure gauges ensure gauge longevity and accuracy.
- Fast and precise.
- Steady reading in high vibration.
- Easy to re-range.
- Inexpensive.
- Easy to use.
