Fittings for pressure gauges: mitigating the effects of dynamic load cycles
| Manuel Schwestka | Know-howIn several processes, pressure gauges are temporarily subjected to heavy loading. Dynamic load cycles, for example, can permanently damage the measuring instrument. This can be prevented by mounting the appropriate Fittings. Dynamic load cycles often result from …
Certification for fire-protection applications
| Fabian Lotter | ApplicationsThe word certification is derived from joining together two Latin words, “certe” (meaning certain) and “facere” (to make). Certification describes the common practice with which the fulfilment and compliance with certain standards or requirements should be …
Advantages of diaphragm pressure gauges (1): Measurement of low pressures
| Silvia Weber | Know-howDiaphragm pressure gauges are considered as specialists in the process industries. They come into play when Bourdon tube pressure gauges reach the limits of their performance. One of the advantages of diaphragm pressure gauges is the measurement of low pressures. …
Bourdon tube pressure gauge – functional principle
| Jürgen Reiser | Know-howBourdon tube pressure gauges are the most frequently used mechanical pressure measuring instruments. Their pressure element is often referred to as a Bourdon tube: The French engineer Eugène Bourdon made use of this functional principle in the middle of the 19th …
