What Are The Types of Pressure Gauges?

Types of Pressure Gauges According to Usage

1. Commercial and Industrial Pressure Gauges – Commercial gauges are general purpose pressure measuring instruments commonly used in Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Refrigeration. Industrial pressure gauge is suitable for production processes that would not block the pressure system. Industrial gauges are used in manufacturing industries, OEM applications, hydraulic, water treatment and RO industries.

2. Process Pressure Gauges – In industries where the production process functions under extreme conditions, subjected to vibrations, pressure spikes and a corrosive environment (like in certain areas of petrochemical and other chemical industries), a process pressure gauge can be safely used.

3. Low Pressure Gauges – These are suitable for measurement of liquid and gaseous pressure, provided they don’t obstruct its functioning. Plants construction processes, pneumatic systems and cleanrooms often need low pressure gauges.

4. Seal Gauges – These gauges are designed to seal potential leak paths and are used in variety of industrial applications to meet material compatibility requirements, viscous applications, corrosive chemicals, vibrations, sanitary and pharmaceutical requirements.

5. High Precision Test Gauges – These gauges are well-suited for processes that require precise calibration as in testing laboratories.

6. Duplex Pressure Gauges – These are a type of differential pressure gauge that can function in extreme environments and measure the difference between two applied pressures. This is sometimes required in refrigeration, fuel, chemical and air-handling Industries.

How to Choose the Right Digital Pressure Gauge

A digital pressure gauge is an instrument used to measure the pressure of liquids and gases and then digitally display it. The transducer installed in the gauge converts the obtained pressure value into a digital reading. Pressure gauges find extensive application in industrial and automaton industries. Their application is gaining traction in new areas of healthcare and energy production. The display may be backlit and include various pressure related data collection and display functions, including data logging, min/max display, peak alarms, unit’s selection, tare function and more. Pressure gauge manufacturers are incorporating new and advanced technologies to gain a market edge. With the market brimming with a variety of pressure gauges, selecting any one gauge is very difficult. When the gauge is to be used in a hazardous environment, intrinsically safe certifications are available. We are laying out a list of steps that can help you in selecting the best digital pressure ga...

Advantages & Types of Diaphragm Seal

What is Diaphragm Seal? Diaphragm seal system consists of a Pressure Instruments, Fill fluid and Diaphragm seal direct mounting type or capillary type. In process a flexible diaphragm and filling fluid separate the pressure instruments from process media, temperature or service. When process pressure acts on diaphragm, diaphragm displacement transfers the measured pressure through the filled system. This transferred pressure displaces the pressure sensing element of Pressure Instruments. Diaphragm seal is used to seal and safeguard instrument from the process medium. The flexibility of the seal is as such that, the diaphragm, seals the contents safely at the same time permeating the instrument to measure the pressure accurately. Diaphragms seals are in general used with other devices and instruments including pressure gauges , transmitters and switches. This combination can be used in extreme and harsh environmental conditions. The fact that they can isolate instruments fro...

Pressure Transmitter – Types & Accuracy

What is a Pressure Transmitter? Pressure transmitters , also known as pressure transducers, are used in industrial and process applications to measure the pressure of liquids, fluids, and gases in different working equipment. These transmitters are a vital component in process industries, especially the oil & gas industry which deals with a variety of fluids and gases. Types of Pressure Transmitters 1. Gauge Pressure Transmitter As the name suggests they measure the gauge pressure with respect to the atmospheric pressure. These types of transmitters are widely used in process industries as they involve the use of liquid and gases. The need to keep their pressure under check makes gauge pressure transmitter a vital component of the industry. 2. Absolute Transmitters These transmitters are used to measure pressure with respect to full vacuum. Basically, the media under measurement is placed in a sealed chamber to create a reference to absolute vacuum. These absolute pressu...
