The WIKA XSEL™ process gauge series has been designed for pressure applications found in today’s grueling refining, petrochemical and chemical plants. Over the last few years, few upgrades have been done in processing plants, yet producers have been required to increase capacity with existing equipment. Due to this strain, plants have increased stress on their systems and operating units. Higher pulsating pressures and heavy mechanically induced vibrations are translating to all areas of the processing equipment, especially pressure instrumentation.
