This Hybrid Pressure Gauge is Smart

| By Chemical Engineering

The INTELLigauge range of pressure-measuring devices (photo) closes the gap between mechanical and electronic sensors. The combination of a pressure gauge and electrical output signal is said to be a solution that is cost effective and reliable. No external power supply is required, so operators will know the process value even in the event of a power failure. Information is transmitted, via an electrical signal from a transmitter or pressure switch, and can be displayed on a control panel or processed through a PLC. Hybrid instruments are available with all established electrical signals, and the non-contact sensors are wear-free and without backlash. — WIKA Alexander Wiegand GmbH & Co. KG, Klingenberg, Germany
