Description
Pressure Oscillations and other sudden pressure changes
can affect the delicate mechanisms of a pressure gauge
or pressure transmitter. This can result in either complete
failure of the instrument or false and inaccurate readings.
Pressure snubbers are designed to reduce or prevent these
oscillations and fluctuations from reaching and affecting
pressure instruments.
Pressure snubbers stop pressure spikes only; a pressure
snubber will not stop any overpressure. Spikes last for
milliseconds only, over pressures lasting longer than that can
damage the pressure sensor.
The Pressure snubbers shown are the "filter" type using a
porous filter media made of sintered metal. Because the
filter element is a fine mesh type, it should be used on
processes that do not contain anything that would clog the
media. In the event that the snubber does get clogged with
dirt or particulate from the process, our snubbers can be
disassembled for cleaning if necessary.
