Temperature and pressure measureing by WIKA
The power generation industry is diverse, covering many types of plants and facilities using both traditional and renewable sources of fuel.
Large-scale (base-load) power plants
- Fossil fuels: natural gas, petroleum, coal
- Hydroelectricity
- Nuclear
- CHP (combined heat and power)
Peak-load power plants
Renewable systems
- Geothermal
- Biomass/biogas
- Wind
- Solar thermal
For maximum safety and optimal efficiency, power plants of all types – from remote substations to enormous hydroelectric facilities – require high-quality measuring instruments to monitor their processes.
Our strengths
For more than 70 years, WIKA has actively partnered with power generators and providers across the globe. Our instruments are found in a wide range of power-generation applications: generators, transformers, turbines, compressors, pumps, pollution control systems, flue gas systems, and more.
We offer a comprehensive portfolio of mechanical, mechatronic, and digital solutions for the power industry:
- Temperature — dial thermometers, digital indicators, thermocouples, resistance thermometers (RTDs), temperature transmitters, temperature switches, thermowells (including those with ScrutonWell® design)
- Pressure — analog and digital pressure gauges, differential pressure gauges, process transmitters, pressure switches, contact pressure gauges, diaphragm seals
- Level — level indicators (magnetic, sight glass, etc.), float switches, optoelectric switches, external changers, differential pressure gauges for liquid measurement
- Force — force transducers
- Flow — primary flow elements (orifice plates, orifice flange unions, meter runs, Venturi tubes and nozzles, flow meters, etc.)
- Calibration — digital pressure gauges, hand-held calibrators, pressure balances, portable pressure generation, reference thermometers, calibration baths
- SF6 gas — gas density monitors, gas handling equipment, detection instruments
As a single-source supplier for all your measurement needs, WIKA saves customers time and hassle. Most of our products come with a variety of options – ranges, accuracies, materials, mounting, output signals, etc. – for greater flexibility. If a particular instrument or accessory does not suit your exact application needs, our engineers will work you to customize a solution.
The WIKA difference for the power generation industry
Measuring technologies for power generation is as diverse as the industry itself. That’s why our sales and engineering staff offer individualized service, from expert advisory and consulting to instrument installation, maintenance/repairs, and upgrades. And as a multinational corporation with an international presence, WIKA has the certifications and approvals for the measuring instruments used in your power plant, no matter its location.
Make us your business partner, whether you are designing a new plant or upgrading an existing one, and whether the facility uses a traditional or renewable/experimental fuel source. Click on the Products tab or contact WIKA Canada for more information about reliable, long-lasting instruments for the power generation industry.
WIKA has worked with licensing and EPC companies for more than 30 years on major projects all over the world. We partner with you from the planning stages through to completion, and we provide post-project support. In addition to supplying high-quality process measurement instruments for temperature, pressure, level and flow applications, we can also work with you to develop solutions that meet your exact requirements.
WIKA also offers on-site expertise and technical support services to help ensure the success of your project. For more information, contact us.
The factors of capacity
