Held on 8 July 2026, the session gave attendees a practical overview of key level measurement technologies, including differential pressure, radar, ultrasonic, capacitive, conductive and float-based methods. Terblanche explained each technology’s operating principles, application suitability and selection criteria, emphasising the importance of selecting the right solution to improve process performance, reliability, safety and automation efficiency.
With support from his WIKA colleagues, Terblanche enhanced the technical content with live, interactive product demonstrations that connected theory with practical application. The hands-on format encouraged valuable discussion among instrumentation and automation professionals and provided a strong platform for knowledge sharing and consultation on level measurement challenges and tailored plant solutions.
The SAIMC Johannesburg Branch thanks Anthony Terblanche and the WIKA team for their professionalism, technical expertise and generous hospitality. Their contribution made the evening a valuable opportunity for learning and technical engagement for all attendees.

Industry has long been concerned about graduates who have no understanding of the modern equipment they will face in industry. This has triggered an investigation into the possibility of creating a facility whereby graduates register with the SAIMC and rotate through all the vendors to obtain experience on modern equipment.
