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
Sandra Broßler | PressureDirectDrive 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
Sandra Broßler | Pressure, ProductsLiquid-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
Kai Grabenauer | TemperatureIn 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
Matthias Stratmann | Know-howIn 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 …
