Why are the threads G 1/8 and 1/8 NPT offered for pressures only to a nominal pressure range of 400 bar? Where does this limit come from? Basically, the explanation is very simple: From a certain pressure limit, the thread flanks are no longer "strong" enough to …

Difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howThe question about the difference between an absolute pressure and a gauge (relative) pressure measurement always pops up every now and again. From a purely theoretical point of view, the question can be answered relatively easily: in a gauge pressure measurement …
Differences between G1/4″ threads
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howWhat is the difference between the numerous G 1/4" threads? And are they compatible among one another? One of my colleagues also often has troubles and gets confused because of all the various G 1/4" threads which the market has to offer, or which are requested by the …
International pressure units
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howYou must have already asked yourself once in a while why there are so many different pressure units worldwide: when are they used and which units are used most frequently and where? These questions can be answered quite easily: the SI unit for the physical quantity …
What does temperature compensation or compensated temperature range for pressure sensors mean?
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howNo other term is as misleading as "compensated temperature range". Let´s first begin with what is meant: The compensated temperature range is the temperature range in which the temperature error, and accordingly the temperature coefficients, are valid. Not, as one …
