New pressure sensing digital flowmeters monitor pressure and flow

June 15, 2020 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Exair PSDFM digital flowmeters

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

June 27, 2019 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Emerson AVENTICS PE5 Pressure Switch IIoT-enabled pressure sensor

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

April 5, 2019 By Paul Heney Leave a Comment

Ashcroft T6500

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 […]

Dry gauges that dampen vibration

May 30, 2018 By Paul Heney Leave a Comment

stabiliZR gauges winters

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 […]
