Introduction
You’ve invested in a high-quality pressure gauge or a highly sensitive temperature gauge. You install it, run the process, and everything works perfectly until a sudden pressure spike or a highly corrosive fluid destroys the instrument.
Often, the key to ensuring the longevity of your instruments lies not in the gauge its self, but in the Accessories supporting it. At Arbuda Instruments, we supply critical instrument protection accessories designed to increase the lifespan of your setup.
Pulsation Dampeners (Snubbers)
If your system involves pumps or compressors, you likely have pressure pulsations. Snubbers act as a filter, smoothing out sudden surges and ensuring the gauge needle remains steady for an accurate reading, while preventing internal mechanical failure.
Gauge Savers (Overpressure Protectors)
What happens when your system accidentally exceeds the gauge’s maximum limit? A gauge saver automatically shuts off the pressure to the instrument when it reaches a pre-set limit, reopening only when the system pressure normalizes. This simple accessory saves you from constantly replacing blown-out gauges.
Syphons (Pig-Tail & U-Type)
When measuring the pressure of high-temperature steam or hot vapors, direct contact will ruin the gauge internals. A syphon holds a small amount of condensate, acting as a thermal barrier between the hot vapor and the instrument.
Thermowells
For Temperature Gauges, a thermowell is vital. It is a protective tube installed directly into the pipe, allowing the temperature sensor to be placed inside without coming into contact with the harsh, corrosive, or high-velocity media. It also allows operators to remove and replace the temperature gauge without shutting down the entire system.
Conclusion
Great instrumentation requires great protection. Using the right accessories dramatically reduces maintenance costs and instrument replacement rates. Explore Arbuda Instruments’ comprehensive range of Accessories and safeguard your process today.
