Reduce the Risks of Particulate Contamination, Seized and Galled Threads with Gall Resistant Fitting on UHP Pressure Gauge
| Patrick McGrath | PressureReplacing standard alloy fittings on a pressure gauge with gall resistant fittings is a minor change, but doing so eliminates the major issues associated with standard fittings. Fittings in a gall resistant material ensure a leak-tight seal, prevent particulate …
Eugene Bourdon and the History of the Bourdon Gauge
| Hardy Orzikowski | PressureThe Industrial Revolution was underpinned by the fortunes of a few dozen financiers, the blood, sweat and tears of millions of factory workers, and a handful of key technical innovations. One of the key inventions of the mid-19 th century was the Bourdon gauge. …
The Best Gauge for High Vibration Conditions
| Hardy Orzikowski | PressureBased WIKA Instrument’s analysis of audit data from more than 250 plants, vibration is one of the most common reason for gauge failure. What are signs of gauge failure? Visible = detached pointer and dust on the inside of the gauge window. Hidden risks = wear …
