Why are the threads G 1/8 and 1/8 NPT offered for pressures only to a nominal pressure range of 400 bar? Where does this limit come from? Basically, the explanation is very simple: From a certain pressure limit, the thread flanks are no longer "strong" enough to …
The common units for the measurement parameter pressure are bar, psi, kg/cm², inHg and MPa, for example. In most cases, one unit has become established in a particular country or region. As a result, it often happens that one must convert a given pressure value into …
You must have already asked yourself once in a while why there are so many different pressure units worldwide: when are they used and which units are used most frequently and where? These questions can be answered quite easily: the SI unit for the physical quantity …
In so-called “gauge sensors” pressure is always measured relative to the currently prevailing ambient pressure. However, the ambient pressure is by no means constant. It is location- and height-dependent and changes with the weather. This means that for a …
How are absolute and relative pressure measuring ranges distinguished? There are considerable international differences. They can be explained in the following example: Europe: 0 … 10 bar / 0 … 10 bar abs America: 0 … 150 psig / 150 psia In …
