EXAIR’s new pressure sensing digital flowmeters provide a way for plant personnel to monitor pressure throughout a compressed air system along with flow. A pressure sensor is mounted between the two flow sensing probes and the display can be configured to show air pressure or air flow. A transistor output can also be configured to […]

IIoT-enabled pressure sensor reduces costly pneumatic system losses
Pressure losses in pneumatic systems can be costly and affect machine efficiency. The new Aventics PE5 pressure sensor from Emerson measures systems losses and will alert when the leakage rate exceeds a pre-determined value. This enables excessive leaks to be diagnosed early and addressed, before they become a major issue. The sensor has two digital […]
Pressure gauge withstands high overpresssure
The Ashcroft T6500 stainless steel, solid front pressure gauge is now available with the XRA overpressure option. This feature adds an overpressure mechanism that restricts the motion of the Bourdontube after the specified full scale value is reached.As a result, the gauge can withstand up to 400% overpressure without damage, often eliminating the need for […]
Reliable pressure gauges for long life
The Ashcroft type 1279 Duragauge pressure gauge coupled with types 100 or 200 diaphragm seals ensure long life and high reliability despite harsh pressure media. A stainless steel movement and the as-welded Duratube Bourdon tube make the 1279 Duragauge safe and reliable for countless pressure cycles. This solid front, 4½-in. pressure gaugeis available in dry, liquid filled […]
Dry gauges that dampen vibration
StabiliZR line of pressure gauges feature a dampened movement that eliminates pointer flutter caused by vibration and pulsation. This makes pressure reading much easier for the operator, and avoids leakage of fill fluid or compatibility issues with process media. Pointed shaft is extended through the back of the movement with a small paddle affixed to […]
51D electronic pressure switches from Norgren
Norgren’s new 51D pressure switch has been designed for high accuracy and resolution for pneumatic applications and works precisely with an accuracy of +/- 2% and a response time of +/- 2.5ms. For filtered, lubricated or non-lubricated compressed air, neutral and incombustible gases. Features include: • Port sizes: 1/8 NPT, G 1/8 • System pressure selectable […]
ProSense digital pressure gauges from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect’s ProSense DPG1 digital pressure gauges are suitable for industrial and general purpose applications requiring an accurate and reliable device with easy to read digital display. These DPG1 gauges have a 4-digit, 2-in. x 3/4-in. LCD display and 2-button operation. The display can operate in a continuously on mode, or an auto shut-off mode to […]
Pressure, vacuum gauges improve air monitoring with colorful graphics
The vibrant and adjustable red/green zone dial face on the new pressure and vacuum gauges from Festo Corp. provide a visual cue when a pressure or vacuum system is out of green-zone operation. Red/green zone dial-face adjustability allows a unified visual warning system to be applied across a broad range of processes for more uniform […]
NITRA current to pneumatic (I/P) transducers added by AutomationDirect
NITRA NCP series electropneumatic transducers from AutomationDirect convert a 4-20 mA current signal (I) from a PLC or other controller to a linear pneumatic output pressure (P). Used in paper and paper converting, food and drug, petrochemical, HVAC, textile, and energy management industries, NCP Series I/P transducers provide highly reliable and repeatable operation of pneumatic […]
