Thermal Expansion in Sanitary Process Tubing Thermal expansion is easy to overlook because stainless sanitary tubing feels rigid and “fixed” once it’s installed. But when a line heats up during SIP, hot water sanitizing, steam exposure, or even warm product... keep reading
Low Pressure Capsule Gauges
A low-pressure capsule gauge is a type of pressure measuring instrument designed to accurately gauge low pressures. It utilizes a flexible diaphragm, typically made of metal, known as a capsule, which deforms in response to changes in pressure. As the pressure increases or decreases, the capsule expands or contracts, causing a pointer or electronic sensor to indicate the corresponding pressure reading on a scale. These gauges are commonly used in applications where precise measurement of low pressures is essential, such as in vacuum systems, air conditioning, and medical equipment.
