Vibration/shock

Vibration protection: Case filling vs. dampened movement

03/22/2019 | Christopher Ott | Know-how
Liquid filled pressure gauge in its field of application

Vibrations can sometimes violently load Bourdon tube pressure gauges. They cause pointer flutter and also, in the event of sustained loading, damage to the measuring system, even to the point of total failure. The most effective protection against these effects is …

DirectDrive pressure gauges – features and application areas

01/23/2017 | Sandra Broßler | Pressure
three different Pressure gauges

DirectDrive pressure gauges differ in structure and function from standard pressure gauges. Thus they feature special characteristics that qualify them for specific application areas. In DirectDrive pressure gauges, special pressure elements are fitted, which …

Filling liquids in pressure gauges: Usage and advantages

05/06/2016 | Sandra Broßler | Pressure, Products
Pressure gauges with glycerin

Liquid-filled pressure gauges are used in applications that involve high dynamic shock and vibration loading. The filling liquid dampens the vibrations that occur and thus takes the load off the mechanical components of the pressure gauge. Depending on …

New ScrutonWell ® design for thermowells

05/26/2015 | Kai Grabenauer | Temperature
NEW ScrutonWell® design

In order to avoid any damage to the thermowell during operation due to mechanical loads, a thermowell calculation per ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 is recommended for critical process conditions. In case of a calculation with negative results, the only constructive solution so …

Shock resistance of pressure sensors

03/04/2015 | Matthias Stratmann | Know-how
drawing: shock

In many pressure sensor applications, short-duration, high, impact loading occurs - this is referred to as shock. Shock resistance defines up to what level of acceleration the instrument can withstand the shock loading without being damaged in any way. The loading …
