When choosing a pressure sensor, one of the many factors to consider is its measuring range. Having the optimal range avoids the risk of overpressure without a loss of accuracy or resolution. Pressure sensors play a key role in the safety and efficiency of …

How Gauges Can Help Prevent Costly Loss of Containment
Hardy OrzikowskiLoss of containment is one of the costliest things that can go wrong at a plant. Accordingly, smart enterprises employ a variety of measures that ensure loss of containment just doesn't happen - or when it does, the adverse circumstances are kept to a minimum. …
When Should You Use Diaphragm Seals?
Chi-Che MaWhen should you use diaphragm seals? Pressure gauges are often used in extreme conditions in industrial processes, and some gauges are specifically designed for use in these difficult process environments. These tough process gauges typically include features such as …
Wetted Parts of pressure sensors – definition and overview
Robert LukatThe term “wetted parts” is used in connection with pressure sensors for all those parts, surfaces and/or components that are (potentially) exposed to or in direct contact with the medium under pressure. In case of a typical pressure sensor this is mainly limited to …
Best Gauges for Corrosive Conditions
Hardy OrzikowskiAs anyone who has lived near the ocean can attest, corrosive substances do not coexist well with metallic surfaces. Briny, salty water is one byproduct of oil and gas exploration and production, but that’s just the beginning. Equipment and instrumentation used in …
