Reasons for Choosing a Liquid-Filled Industrial Pressure Gauge
Hardy OrzikowskiLiquid-filled gauges surpass dry gauges for two main reasons: performance and extended service life. Pressure gauges that are filled with a liquid, usually glycerin or silicone oil, perform better in less-than-ideal conditions. They are also more economical in the long …
Dampened Movement Industrial Pressure Gauges and Bimetal Thermometers
Hardy OrzikowskiIn applications with vibration and pulsation, either a liquid-filled case or dampened movement industrial instrumentation will minimize pointer oscillation. The better choice depends on the application and, to a certain extent, a user’s risk tolerance for leaks. …
Low Pressure Gauges: For Very Low and Vacuum Pressure Measurements
Hardy OrzikowskiTo 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 MarsinickWith 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 …
