Special Pressure Gauges
“Special” pressure gauges can refer to those designed for specific applications or featuring unique capabilities beyond standard pressure measurement. Here are a few examples:
High-Pressure Gauges: These gauges are engineered to measure pressures significantly higher than what standard gauges can handle. They are commonly used in hydraulic systems, aerospace applications, and industrial processes involving high-pressure gases or liquids.
Low-Pressure Gauges: Conversely, low-pressure gauges are designed to accurately measure very low pressures, often in applications where precision is critical, such as in medical devices, environmental monitoring, and HVAC systems.
Corrosion-Resistant Gauges: For environments where corrosion is a concern, such as marine applications or chemical processing plants, special pressure gauges made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or Monel are utilized to ensure durability and accuracy over time.
Sanitary Gauges: These gauges are specifically designed for use in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount. They feature smooth, crevice-free surfaces and materials that can withstand frequent cleaning and sterilization processes.
Intrinsically Safe Gauges: In hazardous environments where explosive gases or vapors may be present, intrinsically safe pressure gauges are used to prevent the risk of ignition. These gauges are designed to operate safely in such environments by employing special enclosures and circuitry to limit electrical energy and heat.
Digital Pressure Gauges: Digital pressure gauges provide precise pressure readings and often offer additional features such as data logging, programmable alarms, and digital displays for easy reading. They are commonly used in laboratories, test and measurement applications, and process automation systems.
Submersible Gauges: These gauges are designed to withstand immersion in liquids and are used in applications such as groundwater monitoring, wastewater management, and underwater pressure measurement.
Vacuum Gauges: Vacuum gauges are specialized instruments used to measure pressures below atmospheric pressure. They are essential in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, vacuum coating, and space simulation chambers.
These are just a few examples of the diverse range of special pressure gauges available to meet the unique requirements of various industries and applications.
