What is a restrictor screw or throttle plug?
A restrictor screw or throttle plug is an essential component designed to manage pressure variations
within a gauge. By installing these screws or plugs, users can effectively regulate the fluid flow into
the gauge, ensuring stable readings and minimizing the impact of sudden pressure shifts. This
control not only enhances accuracy but also prolongs the lifespan of the gauge, making it a vital tool
for precise measurements.
What is a direct drive gauge?
A direct drive gauge simplifies the measurement process by directly conveying pressure to the
sensing element, eliminating the need for gears or links. This design guarantees an optimal response
to pressure fluctuations while significantly reducing the risk of mechanical failures that can arise
from complicated transmission systems.
Why Do Pressure gauge need to be liquid filled?
Pressure gauges should be liquid-filled to effectively dampen mechanical vibrations, especially in
settings where high levels of vibrations and pulsations are common. Moreover, the liquid serves to
lubricate internal components, which not only improves accuracy but also extends the lifespan of
the gauge.
