Pressure Snubber AC45
The Pressure Snubber AC45 is a key component for enhancing the accuracy and durability of pressure measurement systems. Specifically designed to reduce sudden pressure fluctuations and shocks, this device prevents damage to pressure gauges and sensitive equipment. In industrial environments where fluid pressure may change abruptly, the use of a pressure snubber is essential.
Operation
The pressure snubber creates resistance in the fluid flow path, absorbing pressure fluctuations and spikes. With the help of a small disk or hole in the flow path, it reduces the rate of pressure change. As a result, the equipment connected to this system is protected from damage due to pressure shocks, and pressure measurement accuracy is improved.
Applications
- Oil and Gas Industry: Protecting pressure gauges in pipelines and refinery equipment.
- Chemical Industry: Preventing damage to sensitive equipment in chemical processes.
- Food and Pharmaceutical Industries: Enhancing the durability and accuracy of pressure measurement tools in hygienic production lines.
- Power Plants: Protecting pressure sensors and tools in steam and water systems.
- Automotive Industry: Reducing the impact of pressure shocks in test and calibration equipment.
