The metro Atlanta headquarters and manufacturing facility of WIKA Instrument Corporation (WIKA), the leading U.S. supplier of industrial pressure gauge, sensor and temperature instrumentation, was chosen by nationally syndicated cable television program "How It's Made to be featured on a segment demonstrating how pressure gauges are made.

i am instrumentation engineer...thanks for the video.......

@wikawebmaster Wow! I am impressed the Riveras are still with you but not surprised. I worked with Wolfgang and Anton back in NY and had I not developed a back issue, I would have moved to Ga with the company. Wolfgang took me under his arm and I quickly learned the entire production and special modifications. Both were great mentors and I often wonder were I would be in the company if I had stayed. Wika always cared about their employees.

Thanks! It was really exciting when the crew from 'How It's Made' visited WIKA's plant to film the segment!

I used to work for WIKA back when they were in Hauppague, NY, back then, things were way different as far as assembly. This video brought back some nice memories of a job I loved.

@bfreder Are you talking about the assembly of the gauge or the process— as in one piece flow and Continuous Improvement? Yes, the assembly of our gauges has become a more efficient process since WIKA converted to Lean Manufacturing 10 years ago. If you remember the Riveras from New York, they’re both still here.

Wika, Ashcroft, Swagelok, etc... lots of brands to choose in today's market. +/-0.75% is the lowest accuracy i can find. Anyone find less than that accuracy?

@greedydijkstra WIKA stocks gauges with accuracies of ± 3/2/3% to ± 0.1% of span (ASME Grade B to Grade 4A). Generally, the more accurate gauges are larger and more costly.

@wikawebmaster Wika is a good brand. I have no doubt about its quality. But in my previous project, i chose Budenberg over Wika because of the accuracy. I was looking for a 6" SS 316L DPG with 0.75% FS for IP66 .
Wika should also look into Monel material casing & wetted parts for harsh environment.

@greedydijkstra Thank you for your feedback. We love any opportunity to grow and improve our gauges! I will pass your suggestions onto our product development team. Have a great weekend!
