Low Pressure Gauges: For Very Low and Vacuum Pressure Measurements
| Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, PressureTo accurately measure pressure below 10 psi (690 mbar), mechanical gauges use a capsule element. Capsule gauges are found in applications that operate in a vacuum or pressures as low as 1" water column. In most Bourdon tube pressure gauges , the range …
WIKA Customizes Direct Drive Pressure Gauges for Aerospace and Military Oxygen Systems
| Chaz Marsinick | Applications, PressureWith only one moving part, direct drive pressure gauges are extremely compact, rugged, and reliable. These characteristics are what make them ideal for use in safety-critical applications, such as oxygen systems found in airplanes and submarines. The traditional …
Introduction to Differential Pressure Measurement
| Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, PressureBy measuring differential pressure, users are able to easily and accurately monitor filter conditions, liquid levels in closed tanks, liquid flow rates inside a pipe, and even the output torque of hydraulic motors. There are three methods of measuring pressure. The …
Diaphragm Seals: Ultimate Protection for Safer, More Sanitary Pressure Measurement
| Chi-Che Ma | Know-how, PressureCertain process media can damage pressure gauges, which, in turn, can contaminate clean process media. By using a diaphragm seal as a protective barrier, plant operators save time and money by avoiding instrument damage, batch losses, and expensive downtime. If …
