Pumps are vital to many different industries \u2013 from air conditioning to food and beverage. Pressure gauges can be essential to keeping pumps up and running. Proper maintenance\u00a0plays a\u00a0vital\u00a0role\u00a0in\u00a0keeping your pumps\u00a0pumping. Here’s\u00a0a quick look\u00a0at how\u00a0pressure\u00a0instruments\u00a0help\u00a0make\u00a0that\u00a0happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Energy and repair savings<\/h2>\n

Breakdowns do not have\u00a0to be\u00a0inevitable. Avoiding them\u00a0just\u00a0requires paying close\u00a0attention to what your pump\u2019s pressure transmitters are telling you and acting swiftly\u00a0when you see trouble ahead.\u00a0Subtle changes in pressure\u00a0readings\u00a0could\u00a0signal\u00a0problems\u00a0with your\u00a0pumping\u00a0equipment. In the short term, minding your\u00a0gauges\u00a0can help\u00a0to trim your plant\u2019s energy costs. In the longer term, better maintenance<\/a> and efficiency will mean\u00a0longer-lasting equipment and fewer stoppages for scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. In today\u2019s industrial world, we expect more from our equipment \u2013 including pumps. A pump might have to run at a maximum throughput speed for several hours, and then throttle down for days at a time. Most pumps shut on and off automatically, operating at variable speeds rather than at a constant rate. This requires precise pressure measurement at every step in the cycle, via reliable, well-made pressure instrumentation.<\/p>\n

More than pressure<\/h2>\n

Pressure instruments don\u2019t just measure pressure: They continuously tell operators, engineers and plant managers how a particular pump is performing. To get the most\u00a0accurate, up-to-date\u00a0measurements,\u00a0you\u00a0must have\u00a0the right instruments\u00a0installed in the right\u00a0locations \u2013 which underscores the need for gauge knowhow. In many industries, experienced personnel are retiring<\/a> in large numbers, forcing newer, less-experienced people to acquire this skill set in a short time. You can rely on WIKA for assistance with operator training as well as advice on choosing proper\u00a0instrumentation and installing\u00a0it right\u00a0where\u00a0it\u00a0belongs. Gauges are your first line of defense against machine malfunctions. They also form a crucial part of state-of-the-art predictive maintenance programs. Using a wide range of instrumentation, PdM gives you a snapshot of what\u2019s going on inside your pumping equipment. You\u2019ll be able to analyze performance data over long stretches of time and be able to spot small problems before they develop into large crises.<\/p>\n

Reliability, durability, and peace of mind<\/h2>\n

Pressure sensors, gauges, and transmitters are not interchangeable. These tiny devices must be designed\u00a0to withstand the\u00a0grueling conditions of their specific\u00a0applications\u00a0over\u00a0the long\u00a0haul,\u00a0ensuring your data is always accurate. The investment you make now in quality instrumentation will pay big dividends five, 10, 15, or even more years down the road. Let\u2019s face it: A malfunctioning pump is likely to result in unplanned downtime<\/a>, which is bad news for everyone. A stoppage delays production and deliveries, thus hurting the bottom line. In a worst-case scenario, your operation could remain idle for days or weeks \u2013 all because of a pump. WIKA\u2019s instruments and engineering expertise can help you keep your pumps\u00a0running well. For more information, call 1-888-WIKA-USA (945-2872) or email info@wika.com.
