Types of Pressure Gauges You Need to Know About

Image
The pressure gauge  is a device that measures the pressure of a fluid. Pressure gauges are used in many applications, such as boilers, steam engines, hydraulic turbines, and compressors. The pressure gauge is typically a U-shaped tube containing an element such as mercury or an air bubble. The column of fluid rises until it reaches an equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure on one side of the tube and the higher pressure on the other side of the tube. The height of the column correlates to the pressure difference between these two sides and can be read at a point where it crosses a line drawn on this tube at right angles to its length.  Pressure gauges  show how much force per unit area is being applied to something. Let’s look at the main types of gauges. Commercial and Industrial Pressure Gauges Commercial gauges serve as all-purpose pressure measurement equipment in the HVAC and refrigeration industries. Industrial gauges are utilized in various sectors, including manufacturing, O

What is Overmoulding and Why is It Important?

Image
  Overmoulding is the process of moulding a plastic part over a metal part to form a single component with two faces. This process can be done with various plastics and metals with varying results. The shape and size of the desired component will shape the type of plastic used for overmoulding . Moulding is a process whereby a material is heated and shaped by hand. The most common reason for moulding a product is to make a better fit for the product by reducing the amount of loose material on the inside.   Benefits of Overmoulding Durability Manufacturers of plastic products are always looking for ways to make their products more durable. One popular way to do this is by using overmoulds. Overmoulds are made of a harder plastic material, which helps the product last longer. Improved Functionality Overmoulding is a popular method of adding features to products. By moulding additional components such as buttons, grips, and input mechanisms into the outer rubber layer, the product can be

What are the Different Features of a Deflection Indicator System?

Image
Small drilling rigs employ deflection indicator devices primarily as weight indicators. They work by measuring the imbalance in the main bearings before beginning the drilling. Deflection indicators are the most popular tool for drilling rigs since they are simple to operate and extremely effective. For drilling jobs, deflection indicators are necessary weight-measurement tools . They can be set up near a mast to guarantee maximum efficiency. Because of their efficacy and convenience of use, most drilling rigs include numerous deflection indicators. Here are some of the characteristics of the deflection weight indicator  system. Deflection Indicator System Explained A deflection indicator is controlled by a panel on which the operator may pick and alter the display settings. It displays a variety of values based on the requirements of a drilling operation. Deflection indicators give exact readings following every value selection without any mechanical modifications, from reporting the

How CAD/CAM Is Revolutionizing CNC Machines

Image
Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) equipment can be found in virtually every industry around the world. Many industrial floors are now devoid of human contact, with just ‘robots’ populating them. The industry has been able to reduce labor costs while simultaneously producing higher-quality accuracy components that are free of human mistakes and less expensive, thanks to the introduction of Computer Numerical Control  (CNC) technologies. Let’s take a closer look. A Quick Overview of CAD-CAM Software Before we get into the benefits of CAD-CAM software, let’s take a look at how it works. CAD CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design. It consists of software and procedures used to build designs using computers. This frequently results in files needed later in the CAM procedure. This is the process of creating computer simulations based on certain 3D geometrical models that are seen on a computer display. By adjusting parameters, these simulations may be readily m
