Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WIKA from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy specification of the WIKA E-10 pressure transmitter series?
The WIKA E-10 pressure transmitter series has an accuracy of ±0.5% of full scale. This is a standard specification for industrial pressure transmitters in this class, suitable for applications such as pump monitoring, hydraulic systems, and process control where moderate precision is required. The accuracy is factory-calibrated and maintained over the operating temperature range.
What are the available output options for WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters?
WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters are available with two output options: 5V DC (typically 0.5–4.5V ratiometric) and 20mA (4–20 mA two-wire). The 20mA output is common for long-distance signal transmission and integration with PLCs, while the 5V output is often used in battery-powered or low-voltage systems. Both outputs are linear with pressure.
What is the burst pressure rating for WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters?
The burst pressure rating for WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters is 2x the full-scale range. For example, a transmitter rated for 0–1,000 psi has a burst pressure of 2,000 psi. This provides a safety margin against overpressure events, though the transmitter should not be operated continuously above the proof pressure (typically 1.5x range).
What ingress protection ratings do WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters have?
WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters are rated IP67 and NEMA 4X. IP67 means the transmitter is dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. NEMA 4X adds corrosion resistance and protection against hose-directed water, making the transmitters suitable for outdoor or washdown environments.
What process connection sizes are available for WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters?
WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters typically feature a 1/2 in NPT male process connection. Some models also offer a 1/4 in NPT male connection, as seen in SKU 412PC2. The electrical connection is a 1/2 in NPT male conduit with free ends, allowing direct wiring to conduit systems.
What pressure ranges are covered by the WIKA E-10 series available from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks WIKA E-10 pressure transmitters covering ranges from 0–5 psi (SKU 412PC4) up to 0–15,000 psi (SKU 412PA4). Intermediate ranges include 0–300 psi, 0–500 psi, 0–1,000 psi, 0–2,000 psi, and 0–3,000 psi. This range covers low-pressure hydraulic systems to high-pressure industrial processes.
