3 Benefits of Pressure Gauges

Every industrial application has different pressure requirements. The pressure required in drilling an oilfield is different from that of an aircraft industry or car engine. If there’s any fluctuations or irregularity in pressure governance, worst situations can occur.

So, how can we regulate pressure efficiently? By installing pressure gauges! 

Pressure gauges are suitable instruments employed in drilling, agriculture, automotive, and other industrial sectors to measure pressure and troubleshoot the system accurately.

Here we’ve compiled some benefits of using pressure gauges.

Benefits of Pressure Gauges

Here are some benefits of using pressure gauges.

1. Determine Pressure at any Point

The primary benefit of pressure gauges is that they can be installed anywhere in the system’s circuit to determine the pressure at that point. Imagine how unreliable and unpredictable outcomes would be if there are no pressure gauges installed in the circuit components to control system pressure.

2. Simple Format Reading

The pressure gauges indicate the reading in a simple format, easily understandable for the common people.

3. Helpful in System’s Repair and Maintenance

Pressure gauges are also helpful in troubleshooting, i.e., if any blockages or leaks occur in the system, pressure gauges can effectively reduce the pressure. This also contributes to the prompt repair of the system’s components.

6 Common Reasons for Pressure Gauge Failure

The proper functionality of pressure gauges is crucial in several industrial applications. An out-of-order pressure gauge is a workplace hazard. Here are some common reasons for pressure gauge failure:

· Rising temperature

· Moisture collection

· Rust or corrosion

· Leaks and clogs

· Pulsation and vibration

· Improper usage

What Are Some Types of Pressure Gauges?

Let’s discuss some important categories of pressure gauges.

Digital Pressure Gauges

Digital pressure gauges are widely used in industrial applications that require completely accurate readings. With these pressure gauges, there’s no need for an external operator interpretation. Moreover, there are fewer chances of parallax error with these pressure gauges and run on external energy sources like solar energy, loop power, or battery power.

Mechanical Pressure Gauges

These pressure gauges are used to measure high-pressure readings. This gauge arranges rack and pinion so that the reading value is magnified on the pointer scale. These provide a rapid and quick response.

Mud Pressure Gauges

As the name implies, these pressure gauges are widely used in harsh and challenging environments. In oil fields where fluids are being drilled out consistently, these pressure gauges ensure accurate readings without the external influence of high temperature and jeopardized environment.

How to Avoid OSHA Violations at Your Drilling Rig

Image
  The health and safety of workers in the oil and gas mining industry are major concerns. Exposure to hazards, extreme work environments, and accidents while operating heavy machinery means that oil/gas industry employees are at a higher risk of injuries and fatalities. As a result, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) has outlined certain precautions that help prevent accidents and keep your employees and worksite safe. Significant focus has been put on inspecting oilfield worksites, so you want to be prepared for any unexpected visits at your facility at all times. Staying prepared means that not only do you get to avoid fines and citations , but you also keep your workers protected. Let’s take a look at the top three violations on OSHA’s list, as well as the steps you can take to prevent them. 1. Inadequate Fall Prevention According to the National Safety Council, falls are among the most common hazards in the workplace, leading to approximately 50,000 severe i

What Is Overmolding And Why Is It Important?

Image
Overmolding is done through a process of injection molding in which two or more different materials are used to combine wires and make them into a singular component. To better understanding overmolding , it’s important to have a thorough understanding of how it works.   1.       The cable assembly is placed inside a mold 2.       Molten plastic material is poured into the cavity of the mold 3.       Once cooled, the plastic material solidifies into the shape of the mold and covers the junction point between the wire and its connector The Many Benefits Of Overmolded Cable So, why do people go through the trouble of combining wires into single components? The biggest advantage of doing so is increasing the longevity and reliability of cables and their components. ·          Better Flexibility With overmolding, the flexibility at the cable exit is strengthened. You might subject the cable to more pulling and strain near its connector, and with the help overmolding, there

What You Need To Know About Mud Pumps

Image
 If you're like most people, you've probably had a tough time finding the right mud pump with all the options available in the market This article will highlight some important things you should know before buying mud pumps. What Are Mud Pumps? Mud pumps are a machine with a vacuum that is used to pull water from low-lying areas and into the sewage system. The units are usually powered by electricity, but they can also be operated on gas or steam. They work by using air pressure to exert force on water, which then forms a stream in the pump hose. Once this stream is formed, it pushes the water through an intermediate chamber and out of one or two outlets before circulating back into the input chamber for re-injection. At this point, most mud pumps will have another outlet from which they can utilize the output flow downstream for agricultural purposes such as irrigation or crop flows. What Are They Used for? Mud pumps are usually used in municipal wastewater plants
