A common flow measuring application is using a Magnehelic® Differential Pressure Gage with a Pitot Tube to measure velocity pressure. This velocity pressure can then be easily converted into velocity or flow rate. Continue reading “Custom Scales for Differential Pressure Gages”
The Operation of Gages and Switches in Hazardous Environments
In many industrial processes, the materials and the end product or by-products of the process, such as dust or vapors, can create conditions for a hazardous environment. Processes that have potential for hazardous environments include: water treatment, oil drilling, gas and chemical processing, power generation, pharmaceutical, and food manufacturing. The measurement and control of these processes are essential in maintaining optimal conditions of the manufacturing system and preventing catastrophic events.

The Making of a Market Leader – The Magnehelic® Differential Pressure Gage
pressure with a liquid filled manometer. The manometer worked on the principle that the difference in air pressure is measured as a function of gravity and liquid density. The challenge, however, was that the liquid in the manometer evaporates over time. This means that individuals would need to regularly add more liquid and re-calibrate the device.
