<strong>Basic</strong> <strong>information</strong> <strong>about</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong><br />
Pressure <strong>gauge</strong>s and <strong>pressure</strong> sensors are among <strong>the</strong> devices that are most often<br />
used in <strong>the</strong> industrial purpose. But, do you know exactly what <strong>the</strong>se devices are<br />
or <strong>the</strong> reasons <strong>the</strong>y are used for? Most of <strong>the</strong> people do not have any idea <strong>about</strong><br />
this. So, let’s find out <strong>about</strong> <strong>the</strong>se devices.<br />
What are <strong>the</strong> <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s?<br />
The <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s are <strong>the</strong> devices that help measuring <strong>the</strong> <strong>pressure</strong> of gas or<br />
liquid. Well, <strong>the</strong>se devices are used in all around <strong>the</strong> world for industrial<br />
environments as of <strong>the</strong> affordable price <strong>the</strong>se devices have.<br />
However, <strong>the</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> devices that are used most often within an industrial<br />
plant. Because of <strong>the</strong> great numbers of <strong>the</strong>se devices, attention to maintenance<br />
can be compromised. It is also <strong>the</strong>re that as a consequence, in older plants many<br />
<strong>gauge</strong>s are out of service.<br />
Well, it is must to say that it is very much unfortunate because if a plant is<br />
operated with <strong>the</strong> failed <strong>pressure</strong> switch, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> safety of <strong>the</strong> plant may be<br />
compromised. Whe<strong>the</strong>r it is industrial solar digital <strong>the</strong>rmometer or <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s, if <strong>the</strong> device is failed, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>re is no point of using that fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
anyway.<br />
Therefore, for a good process, it is important to install fewer but more useful and<br />
also reliable <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s.<br />
More <strong>about</strong> <strong>the</strong>se devices<br />
There is an idea that can help you reduce <strong>the</strong> number o <strong>gauge</strong>s in a plant. If you<br />
stop installing <strong>the</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s on <strong>the</strong> basis of a habit. Some of <strong>the</strong> plants consider<br />
installing <strong>the</strong>se devices on <strong>the</strong> discharge of every pump. Well, if you are feeling<br />
being in a dilemma with this idea, <strong>the</strong>n you can do one thing before pump<br />
discharge with <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s. On that time, just ask yourself, “ what I’m gonna<br />
do with <strong>the</strong> reading of this <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>?”.
Then you can consider replacing <strong>the</strong> discharged pumps after you get a logical<br />
answer of that question. If <strong>the</strong> air <strong>gauge</strong> is only indicating whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> pump is<br />
running or not, <strong>the</strong>n you are not in need of that, trust me because one can simply<br />
hear and see that unless you want to clean <strong>the</strong> fitter.<br />
While one approaches <strong>the</strong> specification of <strong>the</strong> <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s with a mentality<br />
that <strong>the</strong> number of <strong>gauge</strong>s used needs and will be reduced, <strong>the</strong>n plant will use<br />
fewer and better <strong>gauge</strong>s to get <strong>the</strong> reliability increased automatically, o<strong>the</strong>rwise,<br />
it is useless.<br />
Failure and <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s<br />
While discussing <strong>about</strong> <strong>the</strong> failure of <strong>the</strong>se <strong>gauge</strong>s, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>re are two things that<br />
can be known as <strong>the</strong> main two reasons. Pipe vibration and water condensation<br />
are <strong>the</strong> main reasons to get <strong>the</strong> <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>s failed. As <strong>the</strong>se can freeze in<br />
colder climates and damage <strong>the</strong> housing of <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong>.<br />
The delicate links, pivots and pinions of <strong>the</strong> traditional <strong>gauge</strong> are very sensitive<br />
for both of <strong>the</strong> condensation and vibration. The life of filled <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>gauge</strong> is<br />
comparatively longer than <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r available <strong>gauge</strong>s. Having fewer parts is not<br />
<strong>the</strong> only reason, but also <strong>the</strong>se <strong>gauge</strong>s have fewer moving parts.
