The production of renewable energy is growing continuously more important within the worldwide energy market. In view of the limited availability of fossil fuels, and against the backdrop of the current debate on climate change, the development of future-oriented technologies and their conversion into profitable systems is in full swing.

Examples of Applications

• Wind power
• Hydropower
• Solar thermal energy
• Photovoltaics
• Biogas
• Geothermal energy

WIKA pressure gauges, especially bourdon tube gauges, can be found worldwide in the field of oil and gas production and regeneration offshore as well as onshore. Our measuring instruments are manufactured in close co-operation with members of ISO 15156 and NACE committee, and in accordance with respective latest revision. Our bourdon tube and diaphragm pressure gauges have been put to the test in different independent institutions where they have been subject to elaborate laboratory tests as regards different acid gas concentrations related to temperature and time.

• Oil platforms
• Refineries
• Piping systems
• Oil and gas pipelines
• Oil and gas tankers

Within the pharmaceutical and cosmetic products Industry, process handling which is free of contamination also requires peripheral components such as measuring instruments to comply with hygienic design criteria.

Process connections
WIKA supplies a wide range of manufacturer-specific process connections, which are usual in the industry like, for example:

• Aseptic threaded fitting DIN 11864-1
• Aseptic flange connection DIN 11864-2
• Aseptic clamp connectionDIN 11864-3
• NEUMO BioConnect®
• NEUMO BioControl®
• VARIVENT®

Particularly for the commercial vehicle sector, there is a high requirement for robustness, while for passenger vehicle applications, the high volumes are dominated by the requirement for lower pricing. 

WIKA is very well set up for these challenges, with its certified development teams and production facilities.

Our Services:

• Efficient development teams
• Full traceability of all materials and production stages
• Highly automated production lines for mass production items
• Flexible assembly lines for small and medium volume product lines
• certified to ISO/ TS 16949

New product family air2guide
WIKA has developed a new range of ventilation and air conditioning measuring instruments based on the «Value Innovation» philosophy, which involves comprehensive clarification of market and customer requirements. The developed measuring instruments are targeted in particular at the planners, manufacturers and end users of ventilation systems for industrial and administrative premises, and the manufacturers of central heating and air conditioning (monoblock) systems and have to be installed in line with the VAC directive on filter monitoring.

• Easy to install and remove without tools
• Up to 50 % time saving during installation compared with conventional models
• Advanced design, optimised packaging for the target market
• First class delivery quality

The applications for pressure and temperature measuring instruments start on a yacht and go on to aircraft carriers. They stretch from the pressure gauge on the espresso machine, to diesel exhaust temperature measurement, to the regulation of the anchor chain stress on the hydraulic winches.

For all these pressure and temperature measuring devices and their accessories WIKA is the competent contact and supplier.

High purity, resistance to corrosive media, leak integrity and accuracy as well as the SEMATECH and SEMI Standards all make up the basic requirements for the development and production of our measuring instruments for the semi-conductor industry. 

Our product range offers sophisticated solutions for pressure measurement in gas, chemical and solvent supply systems. Through our innovative product design, characterised by low dead-space and excellent purge properties of the sensing surfaces  benefits reduced start-up and maintenance times.

• Gas delivery systems (gas sticks, gas panels, bulk-gas supply systems) 
• Ultra high purity water supply
• Liquid chemical supply
• Level measurement for liquefied gases and solvents
