The WIKA A-10 is a general-purpose pressure transmitter designed for integration into industrial equipment. Its compact construction and configurable measurement ranges make it suitable for a wide variety of pressure monitoring and control tasks.
Key Features
- Wide measuring range: 0–0.05 bar to 0–1,000 bar, depending on configuration.
- Accuracy options: Non-linearity of 0.25% or 0.5%.
- Multiple outputs: 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, 0–5 V and other options.
- Flexible connections: G ¼ A, ¼ NPT and other process connections.
- Electrical interfaces: Angular connectors, M12 × 1 circular connector and cable outlet options.
- International approvals: cULus and EAC options for applicable versions.
- Test documentation: A factory test certificate is available.
Suitable Applications
- Hydraulic and pneumatic systems: Monitor system pressure in machinery and actuators.
- Pumps and compressors: Provide pressure feedback for equipment monitoring and control.
- Machine building: Integrate pressure measurement into industrial equipment.
- Shipbuilding: Support pressure monitoring in compatible onboard systems.
- Measurement and control technology: Supply electrical pressure signals to PLCs and monitoring devices.
Technical Highlights & Selection Considerations
Before ordering, confirm these key requirements:
- Pressure range and type: Select gauge, absolute or compound pressure measurement as required.
- Accuracy: Choose 0.25% or 0.5% non-linearity according to the application's measurement needs.
- Output signal: Match the transmitter output to the receiving PLC or controller.
- Process connection: Verify thread standard, size and sealing arrangement.
- Electrical connection: Check connector type, pin assignment and cable length.
- Medium compatibility: Confirm wetted materials and permissible medium temperature. Standard versions may use 316L stainless steel wetted parts, with specifications varying by configuration.
The A-10 is intended for general industrial applications rather than every specialised process. Verify pressure peaks, temperature limits and required approvals against the selected version's datasheet.
