Differential pressure measurement is widely used as a method for monitoring the level of closed vessels. In many cases, operators use individual instruments with an output signal or on-site display. In contrast, a more precise and fault-immune solution is the measuring …

Bourdon tube pressure gauge – functional principle
Jürgen Reiser | Know-howBourdon tube pressure gauges are the most frequently used mechanical pressure measuring instruments. Their pressure element is often referred to as a Bourdon tube: The French engineer Eugène Bourdon made use of this functional principle in the middle of the 19th …
Selection criteria for pressure gauges: type of pressure
Jürgen Reiser | Know-howWithin the selection criteria for pressure gauges, type of pressure takes top priority. The measurement of gauge pressure, in fact, reliably fulfils the purpose with the majority of processes. However, for numerous applications in industry, pressure gauges for absolute …

Template for the creation of a proof of intrinsic safety for ATEX certified pressure sensors
Stefan Heusel | Know-howIn my last article I introduced you to how the “basic” proof of intrinsic safety can be provided for instruments and pressure sensors approved to ATEX in Europe. Each installer or operator must ensure that the employees in the plant are not endangered and …
