Diaphragm Pressure Elements

There are two basic categories of diaphragm elements: rigid metal diaphragms and slack diaphragms linked to driving plates. Schaffer gauge The simplest form of diaphragm gauge is the Schaffer gauge, shown in above figure. It consists of a corrugated diaphragm of about 65 mm in diameter heat treated stainless steel and held between two flanges. …

Introduction to MEMS, MEMS pressure sensor

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, are technologies that are in the most common form that can be defined as miniature mechanical and electro-mechanical elements (i.e. devices and structures) made using microfabrication techniques. the types of MEMS devices can vary from relatively simple structures having no moving elements, electromechanical systems to very complex with multiple moving elements …

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. …

Types Dryers for air compressors

What are the dryers? Compressed air dryers remove moisture that might otherwise condense in airlines, air tools, and pneumatic instruments. This condensate can cause damage to equipment from corrosion, freezing, and water hammer, and can cause malfunctioning of instruments and controls. Three types of air dryers are available: adsorption, deliquescent, and refrigeration. Types of Dryers: …

Working of Pressure Reducing Valve

Introduction This Pressure Reducing Valve is an elastomeric, line pressure driven pilot operated pressure control valve. Designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems and the latest industry standards. This Pressure Reducing Valve reduces high upstream pressure to a precise, preset, stable downstream pressure. Due to its exceptional reliability and low head loss the valve is ideal …

What is a flapper nozzle mechanism?

Introduction  The flapper nozzle is the primary device for all pneumatic instruments which convert a measurement to a pneumatic signal.  Figure shows the layout of the device.  Principle of Operation: The air supply input (20 psi (1.4 bar)) passes through a restrictor (small hole).  It then goes out of the nozzle or down the air …

Mechanical pressure transducers and elements

Mechanical Pressure transducers: In general, transducers are devices which converts one form of energy into another form, a pressure transducer converts pressure into any other measurable form of energy. A mechanical pressure transmitter converts the pressure into mechanical displacement in the system. Types of Pressure transducers: Bourdon tube Helix and spiral tubes Spring and bellows Diaphragm …
