Types of errors in pressure gauges

Posted by David Zheng on

Inaccuracies in pressure instrumentation occur when the output signal deviates from the desired measuring result. A menacing situation is sure to occur when the pressure gauges read higher or lower than the actual reading. The risk of performance and safety looms large. It thus becomes important to find out and rectify your gauge's error.  The permissible limit upto which the gauge errors can reflect is also primarily associated with the degree of difference between the accuracy of the standard and the instrument to be calibrated. The situation must be analyzed for working in more than ideal conditions.  Types of errors...

The Many Types of Pressure Gauges in Measurement Industry

Posted by David Zheng on

The pressure gauge is a device used to measure the condition of the fluid, that is, the force exerted by the fluid per unit area. The instrument is deployed in the industry as a quality check measure to ensure the consistency of the products. With great precision and accuracy, the pressure gauges monitor fluids, gases, and steam for leaks or a build-up of pressure in a system. Design to operate within a pre-defined pressure range. Any deviations from the standardized range would affect the system's quality, efficiency, and work output. As more and more pressure gauge systems are introduced, their...

What is a ball valve? and How does it work?

Posted by David Zheng on

A shut-off valve regulates the flow of the liquid or the gas using a rotary ball having a bore. Controlling the flow of the liquid, gases, and vapors in a piping system, the ball is mounted against two seats and has a shaft that connects it to the operating and control mechanism that rotates the ball. The fluid is not permitted to pass through the valve, with the cross-section of the bore being kept perpendicular to the flow of the fluid. Operated manually or through an actuator, the ball valve, the butterfly valve, and the plug valve behave as a...

What is a pressure gauge? and How does it work?

Posted by David Zheng on

Pressure gauges are performance measurement devices that are applied for the calibration of pressure in fluid media. There exists a sense of individuality because of the difference based on their unique design and application. In measuring pressure values of fluid in a system, pressure gauges not just ensure optimal performance but that too with safety and accuracy. As already mentioned, pressure gauges are applied for measuring the condition of the fluid by estimating the force that the same fluids would exert. The measurement parameters perfectly define whether you have any errors in your tanks or systems.   The gauge’s purpose  For...

How to Select a Pressure Gauge?

Posted by David Zheng on

Pressure gauge, termed as an instrument used for measuring the condition of the fluid (liquid or gas) specified by a force the fluid would exert per unit area. Every pressure gauge has a pre-defined limit to measure a pressure higher than the maximum of the range, it therefore becomes necessary to know and understand the kind of pressure gauge brought into application before actually taking readings through it!  Factors responsible for selecting the right pressure gauge What is the application? How much pressure is involved? What is the specification of the dial selected? How much would the gauge accuracy be?...
