Care must be taken to ensure a safe working environment when selecting and ordering a pressure gauge or thermometer. The following information can assist with the selection. Casing Size To suit the availability of space or reading from a distance. Choose from 50, 63,...

Protecting pressure gauges and transmitters against water hammer

Water hammer is a high-pressure surge or wave created by the kinetic energy of moving fluid when it is rapidly forced to stop or change direction, altering the liquid’s velocity. Rapid stopping or starting or changing of direction of an incompressible fluid like water...

The purpose of calibrating pressure gauges

Basic pressure gauge calibration is the comparison of measurement values of a unit under test (your gauge) with those of a more accurate calibrated reference instrument. This instrument is normally traceable to National Standards (NMISA). The term calibration means...

Process conditions affect pressure gauges

All process and ambient factors should be considered when selecting and installing pressure-measuring devices. The following is intended as a guideline from SA Gauge to assist with selecting the appropriate instrument. The use of pressure transmitters as the primary...

Neglected pressure gauges can lead to downtime and disaster

Pressure and temperature gauges are often the most used instruments in a plant. Gauges are relatively inexpensive and because of their large quantity, gauge maintenance is often neglected, resulting in unreliable and compromised instruments. Some plants choose not to...

How to look after your pressure gauge

Pressure and temperature gauges are very widely used on process plants. Gauges are relatively inexpensive, and because they are installed in large numbers, maintenance can be neglected, resulting in unreliable and compromised instruments. Some plants choose not to...
