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 gauge:




1. Check the Accuracy of Pressure Gauges

One major difference between mechanical and digital pressure gauges is accuracy. The accuracy provided by the latter is considered to be higher. Accuracy class from 0.5% to 0.05% of full scale.


Generally, the price of the gauge increases with accuracy. You must precisely evaluate the requirements of your applications before finalizing any particular instrument.


2. Decide Upon the Durability

Digital gauges are known to be very durable as they lack moving parts. They come in different types suitable for different applications.


For instance, some gauges are required to be moved around for use in applications such as testing and demand more robustness whereas some applications require stationary gauges.


Decide the kind of durability you need. This may turn out to be a cost-effective way as a durable pressure gauge will save the recurring cost of replacing it.


3. Give Preference to Readability

Readability is one of the primary reasons owing to which the digital pressure gauges are gaining preference over mechanical types. Besides the digital display, these digital gauges come with a backlight to facilitate effortless reading in a dark environment and an easy-to-read presentation.

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...
