VACTEST vacuum measurement equipment from Busch is designed to combine the latest advances in vacuum measurement technology with exceptional manufacturing quality – providing an innovative and comprehensive portfolio of active […]
Smart leak-detection system
FDX Fluid Dynamix, located in Berlin, Germany, has developed the OsciLeak compressed air leak-detection system. It’s based on the company’s proprietary next-generation nozzle technology. Compressed air is commonly used as an energy source, especially in industrial plants. According to FDX officials, it is estimated that 30% of the electricity generated in the U.S. is used […]
New pressure sensing digital flowmeters monitor pressure and flow
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 […]
