Pressure Gauge Accessories

The following are the Pressure Gauge Accessories:

Snubber
Pigtail Syphon
U Syphon
Gauge saver
Gauge Adaptor
Gauge Union

Snubber

The Snubber (Pulsation Dampener) protects the pressure instruments from pressure pulsations / rapid pressure fluctuation. Ideal for instruments which undergo severe pressure pulsations like those located at the pump discharge.

Available in materials like CS, SS304, SS316, Monel, etc. The standard connection is 1/2” NPT(F) x 1/2” NPT(M) (other connection can be available as per requirement)

Syphon

The Syphons are used to protect pressure instruments from the high temperature of the process fluid. It helps to reduce the service temperature so that the pressure instrument is exposed to a lower temperature.

Generally offered in 1/2” inch, 40 or 80 sizes (other sizes also can be available). The standard connection is ½” NPT(F) x 1/2” NPT(M). Plain end suitable for Butt-welding can also be offered.

Available in material like CS (A106), SS304, SS316, P11 etc. IBR Certification can be available as per requirement.

Gauge Saver

The Gauge Saver (Pressure Limit Valve) is used where the process pressure exceeds the over range limit of the pressure instrument. When the process pressure exceeds the preset pressure, Gauge Saver shuts off the pressure to the instrument and thereby prevents damage of the sensing element and protects the calibration.

Generally, the minimum setting offered is 1 kg/cm2g (lower setting also available). Normally offered in SS316 & Monel with the standard connection of 1/2” NPT(F) x 1/2” NPT(M).

Gauge Adaptors

The Gauge Adaptors are used for connecting instruments and accessories having a different type of threads. Conversion from male to female threads and vice versa is possible by selecting suitable adaptors.

Generally offered in material like SS304, SS316, Monel etc.

Gauge Union

The Gauge Union or Universal Adaptor (Swivel Adaptor) facilitates the positioning of the Instrument during installation. Generally offered in material like SS304, SS316, Monel etc.

The standard connection is 1/2” NPT(F) x 1/2” NPT(M).

PLC Program for Mixing Tank

Create a ladder diagram for controlling a batch mixing process. Implement a PLC program for mixing tank or Mixing Process using PLC Ladder Logic. PLC Program for Mixing Tank Fig : Mixing tank A tank is used to mix two liquids. The required control circuit operates as follows: A. When the START button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin ﬁlling the tank. B. When the tank is ﬁlled, the ﬂoat switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. C. The motor is permitted to run for 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. D. When the tank is empty, the ﬂoat switch de- energizes solenoid C. E. A STOP button can be used to stop the process at any point. F. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. G. Once the circuit has been energized, it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped. Solution...

What is Relay? How it Works? Types, Applications, Testing

We use relays for a wide range of applications such as home automation, cars and bikes (automobiles), industrial applications, DIY Projects, test and measurement equipment, and many more. But what is Relay? How a Relay Works? What are the Applications of Relays? Let us explore more about relays in this guide. What is a Relay? A Relay is a simple electromechanical switch. While we use normal switches to close or open a circuit manually, a Relay is also a switch that connects or disconnects two circuits. But instead of a manual operation, a relay uses an electrical signal to control an electromagnet, which in turn connects or disconnects another circuit. Relays can be of different types like electromechanical, solid state. Electromechanical relays are frequently used. Let us see the internal parts of this relay before knowing about it working. Although many different types of relay were present, their working is same. Every electromechanical relay consists of an consists of an Elect...

Chlorine dioxide Analyzer Principle

Chlorine dioxide measurement Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an instable, non-storable, toxic gas with a characteristic scent. The molecule consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms – represented in the chemical formula ClO2. It is very reactive. To avoid the risk of spontaneous explosions of gaseous chlorine dioxide or concentrated solutions, it is generally handled in dilution with low concentrations. ClO2 is soluble in water, but tends to evaporate quickly. Typically it is prepared on site, for example from hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite. The procedure provides solutions with approx. 2 g/l ClO2 that can be safely handled and stored for several days.
