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.

Difference Between Gauge Pressure and Absolute Pressure

When you’re cutting fruit with a knife, the surface area of its edge is small, therefore, that creates a higher pressure to cut through the object. Similarly, when a vacuum cleaner is switched on, the fan installed inside it creates low pressure in the equipment which facilitates the inward pulling of any dirt particles inside the device. In both these cases, you hear about the term called “ pressure ”. What is Pressure? In Physics, pressure is defi n ed as the force exerted perpendicularly per unit area. It is a scalar quantity and is denoted by the units Pascal (SI) which is equal to one Newton per square meter (N/m2, or kg·m−1·s−2). It can also be represented by the units atm, torr, bar, pound-force, etc. The standard formula for pressure is p = F/A. Where F is the force applied and A is the area that bears it. Hydrostatic pressure , also known as formation pressure or reservoir pressure is the pressure of fluids in a hydrocarbon reservoir, calculated on the basis of reservoir...

What are the Uses and Types of RTDs?

Resistant Temperature Detector (RTD) is a type of temperature sensor, often referred to as resistance thermometers. Its works on the basis of change in resistance of metal due to change in temperature. RTD is used in a variety of applications and is preferred over other types of temperature sensors for its accuracy, ease of use, repeatability, and cost. Temperature sensors are used across different domestic and industrial applications. Resistance thermometers are most commonly used for temperature measurement from -200C to 600C, some sensors are designed to operate as high as 1000 C. Resistant Temperature Detectors are available with a variety of resistance element materials. Two Most Widely Used Sensor Types Are: 1. Wire-wound RTD This type of RTD has a small diameter wire, most commonly of platinum that is wound in a coil placed inside a ceramic/glass insulator. Extension wires are welded to this platinum coil that extend outside the insulator body. This type of sensor i...
