Introduction to some important pneumatic components

Main pneumatic components All main pneumatic components can be represented by simple pneumatic symbols. Each symbol shows only the function of the component it represents, but not its structure. Pneumatic symbols can be combined to form pneumatic diagrams. A pneumatic diagram describes the relations between each pneumatic component, that is, the design of the system. …

Difference between filled impulse line and purged impulse line

Filled impulse lines An alternate method for isolating a pressure-sensing instrument from direct contact with process fluid is to either fill or purge the impulse lines with a harmless fluid. Filling impulse tubes with a static fluid works when gravity is able to keep the fill fluid in place, such as in this example of a pressure transmitter connected …
