The numerous and diverse applications in the chemical and petrochemical industry place the most varied demands on measurement technology. Whether electronic or mechanical solutions, hazardous environments or general areas, aggressive, volatile or viscous media - our customisable measuring instruments for temperature, pressure, flow and level are in use in every conceivable environment and guarantee the highest process reliability and plant availability. We advise you on development, integration and operation with reliable products, systems and services. Our goal: to make your applications particularly...

Step-by-step, moving forward together with a reliable partner The perfect interface between process and distributed control system Process plants in the petrochemical and chemical industry are becoming increasingly diverse and complex. At the same time, the demands on their safety, economic efficiency and, especially, sustainability are increasing. It is good to have a reliable partner for the design of new plants and the optimisation of existing ones, with whom the necessary process data can be determined easily and safely. With solutions for pressure, temperature, level and flow from one source....

Benefit from our many years of experience Highest safety, available worldwide The safety of people, process and the environment has the highest priority. Therefore, many of our products are suitable for PL and SIL applications and ensure functional safety, even in critical applications. In addition, WIKA offers numerous product variants for hazardous areas, with regional and international approvals such as ATEX, IECEx, CSA, FM or UKEX. In some cases, the configuration options allow more than one million variants per product – and thus customised measuring instruments without the need for special...

Whether setting up a new plant or upgrading existing plant, every project has its own technical particularities. For this reason, WIKA offers a wide range of services for the measuring technology itself, from system planning to accessories for tailored installation. This enables an individually optimised concept, uncomplicated installation and worry-free operation with maximum availability. For plant concepts that are interconnected and highly efficient, reduce the CO2 footprint and keep overall costs as low as possible. Process development Process development Careful design is the key to a sustainable,...

From planning to maintenance To ensure that all components mesh smoothly and are optimally integrated, we provide you with advice right from the start and also take care of the maintenance operations of the measuring instruments on-site – for safe and efficient plants with maximum reliability. Planning and engineering Our EPC team, in over 44 countries, manages large international projects, which can also include several thousand measuring points. For this purpose, we provide the basic design engineering in advance as part of the front-end engineering design. In this way, we calculate optimal...

Ready for the future of sustainable digitalisation Interconnected sensors and systems, conceived in their entirety, are able to realise particularly resource-efficient, and thus climate-friendly as well as cost-effective, process plants. This requires intelligent solutions for measured variables such as pressure, temperature or level, which regularly send reliable data to the system, even from widely distributed plant areas. Complete automated solutions – from process to measurement to control In order to reliably automate processes and to control them in a predictive manner, continuous measured...

IIoT solutions Emissions reduction and increased plant availability through networking Optimised processes are becoming increasingly important in the context of climate-friendly production. Interconnected IIoT systems are the basis for efficient plant monitoring and optimisation. With the WIKA IIoT cloud solution and tested sensor technology*, comprehensive measured data can be bundled and used intelligently via condition monitoring. Instrument data can thus be evaluated via a digital twin and specific prognosis and prediction algorithms. This enables, for example, optimised temperature management....

Temperature to the point Whether in reactors, pipelines or on surfaces – precise temperature measurement forms the basis of efficient and energy-saving process control. Depending on the application and design, the temperature can be measured either directly in the medium or as a contact temperature. WIKA offers a wide range of products from a single source that are certified for the chemical and petrochemical industry. Surface temperatures on fired tube coils and furnace walls Tubeskin thermocouples are perfect for applications where exact contact temperatures are required to prevent damage to...

Multipoint measurement in reactors Whether 4 or 96 measuring points: Large-area temperature monitoring of reactors can be easily realised thanks to multipoint measurement. With such measuring systems, you achieve comprehensive horizontal and vertical coverage of the reactor area, with high redundancy at the same time. This provides the system with a complete temperature profile in real time. Irregularities in the temperature distribution or hotspots can thus be immediately identified and faulty processes can be remedied quickly. At operating temperature: the WIKA service team Save time and money...
