pressure gauge | bourdon tube

By: Bob DiVita, Director NA Channel Sales
December 12th, 2022

Some specifications for pressure gauges restrict design and manufacturing methods and require a specialized Bourdon tube construction. How the Bourdon tube is constructed can impact gauge life, and if it isn’t constructed in a suitable way for your application, you could face equipment damage. There are many ways to construct a Bourdon tube for your pressure gauge. Which is best for your application? This article will discuss the types of Bourdon tube construction and in which applications they work best.

pressure transducer | electrical connector

Your pressure transducer can be used in a variety of applications, many of which are exposed to the elements. Rain, snow, wind and sunlight can all have an impact on your pressure instrument if you don’t have the right equipment for the job. Using the correct electrical connector for your pressure transducer can ensure that your equipment keeps running even when impacted by the environment. But how do you choose the best electrical connector for your application? This article will discuss the factors to consider when selecting an electrical connector for a transducer that can stand up to the environmental impacts of your application.

pressure gauge | liquid filled gauge

By: John Girard, Product Marketing Leader
November 14th, 2022

Some pressure instruments require a fill fluid to help with pulsation and vibration in certain applications. Filling the cavity of a pressure gauge with liquid lubricates and dampens the internal components to reduce or eliminate the effects of heavy vibration and/or pulsation. A system fill is commonly used in assemblies when one or more instruments are installed above a diaphragm seal. There are many types of fill fluid options available today, so which one is best for your application?

pressure transducer | semiconductor industry

Pressure transducers used in the semiconductor industry need to be designed and manufactured with materials that can prevent contamination in your process, and also handle corrosive liquids or gases in certain applications such as cleaning equipment and wet stations. Ashcroft has recently released the ZL95 fluoropolymer pressure transducer with a 4-digit LED display, specially made for corrosive environments. The PTFE/PFA wetted parts provide extended cycle life and corrosion resistance. This review will look at the features of this pressure transducer and how it can provide reliable pressure measurements for your semiconductor application.
