Pressure Gauge: Functions, Types, and Industrial Applications
In the industrial world, the pressure gauge is one of the most essential instruments used to monitor and measure pressure in piping systems, boilers, compressors, and storage tanks.
The main role of a pressure gauge is to ensure the system operates within safe pressure limits. With this tool, operators can immediately detect whether the pressure is too high, too low, or in optimal condition.
1. Main Functions of a Pressure Gauge
Ensuring Safety
Excessive pressure can cause leaks, pipe failures, or even explosions.Optimizing Efficiency
Maintains pressure at the required level to keep fluid flow stable.Supporting Maintenance
Early detection of irregularities helps prevent costly damage.
2. Types of Pressure Gauges
Several pressure gauge types commonly used in industries include:
Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge – The most common type for general applications.
Diaphragm Pressure Gauge – Suitable for viscous, corrosive, or low-pressure fluids.
Digital Pressure Gauge – Offers higher accuracy with digital display.
Differential Pressure Gauge – Measures pressure difference between two system points.
3. Industrial Applications of Pressure Gauges
Oil & gas piping systems
Chemical and petrochemical plants
Food and pharmaceutical industries
Power generation (boilers, turbines)
HVAC and water treatment installations
4. Connection with Industrial Materials
The selection of a pressure gauge must align with the materials used in the system. Pipes, flanges, fittings, and valves should all have specifications that match the required pressure level.
