These specialized gauges are designed to not only measure pressure but also to trigger electrical circuits when certain pressure levels are reached. So in this blog, we will delve into the working of an Electric Contact Pressure Gauge.
Electric contact gauges operate by combining mechanical pressure measurement with electrical switching capabilities, providing both precise readings and automated responses to changes in pressure. The process begins with pressure sensing, where the gauge measures the fluid pressure within the system using a Bourdon tube or another pressure-sensing element. As the pressure fluctuates, the Bourdon tube deforms, translating these pressure changes into mechanical movement. This movement is then transmitted to the gauge’s pointer, which indicates the current pressure on the dial.
The second phase involves the activation of electrical contacts. The mechanical movement of the pointer is connected to electrical contacts within the gauge. When the pointer reaches a predetermined pressure level, it either makes or breaks an electrical circuit. This change in the circuit can trigger various system responses, such as sounding alarms, activating pumps, shutting off valves, or initiating other automated actions. These responses are critical for maintaining system safety and efficiency, ensuring that the pressure remains within safe operating limits, and preventing potential damage or failures in industrial applications.
Electric contact gauges are used in a variety of industrial applications. In pumping systems, they automatically start or stop pumps based on pressure levels to maintain optimal performance. In safety systems, they trigger alarms or shut down equipment when pressure exceeds safe limits, preventing damage or accidents. They integrate with control systems in manufacturing processes to maintain desired pressure levels. In HVAC systems, they monitor and control pressures to ensure the efficient operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
When it comes to accurately and dependably measuring pressure, nothing beats Kipinago electric contact gauges. These gauges include a sophisticated electrical contact block and provide precise local readings, making them useful in a variety of settings. The dial holds the contact block, and a knob is located on the glass for convenient setting point modification.
These gauges work for a variety of purposes due to their range of 0-400 Bar/PSI and nominal size of 100 mm. Their cases, made of either stainless steel or black steel, are designed to withstand harsh situations with ease.
