Pressure: Getting Water to Where It Needs to Go
Hardy Orzikowski | Applications, PressureThis article is a continuation of Water Towers: Critical Assets for Quality of Life and Fire Safety . Whether water is going to a storage tank or to consumers, it takes pressure to get it there. This pressure can come from pumps or water towers. When using the …
Absolute Pressure Gauges: Advantages and When to Use Them
Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, PressureWhile measuring gauge pressure is sufficient for most industrial applications, sometimes it is necessary to use an instrument that displays absolute pressure, as this reading does not fluctuate depending on altitude or weather conditions. The two sides of a …
Three Reasons to Use a Diaphragm Pressure Gauge
Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, PressureWhen standard pressure gauges reach their limits, the process industry can use diaphragm pressure gauges to measure low pressures and protect against overload in all types of applications, including ones with aggressive or hygienic media. Thanks to using a flexible …
What Is a Diaphragm Pressure Gauge, and How Does It Work?
Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, PressureThe flexible membrane in a diaphragm pressure gauge, a specialized industrial gauge, gives it several advantages over standard Bourdon tube gauges and capsule pressure gauges. A diaphragm pressure gauge, sold under the Sealgauge™ brand at WIKA and also known as …
