Application areas for pressure gauges

EMVO Techniek supplies pressure gauges to companies and entrepreneurs in a wide range of industries. In many different applications and processes, pressure must be monitored and controlled to ensure safe and efficient operation. From heating to colling systems, from hydraulics to pneumatics, and from installation technology to welding technology: pressure gauges are used in almost every sector.

Function and design

A pressure gauge always has the same function: measuring pressure in a gas or liquid. However, the design of a pressure gauge can vary, depending on the conditions in which the pressure gauge needs to operate. A pressure gauge used under sea level, for example, must be very robust and resistant to very high pressure. . And a pressure gauge that needs to function in an environment where vibrations or sudden pressure surges may occur, requires stabilization with, for example, glycerin.

On this page, you will find information about various application areas in which our pressure gauges play an essential part.

Pneumatics

Pneumatics is a technology that utilizes air to create mechanical movements. This technology is frequently employed in industrial applications, such as factory automation, machine tools, packaging systems, and more. Our pressure gauges play a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of pneumatic processes.

Hydraulics

In hydraulics, our pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure of hydraulic fluids, typically oil. Hydraulics technology employs fluids to transmit mechanical force, and this technology is prevalent in various industrial applications, including construction machinery, industrial equipment, aircraft, and more. With ET pressure gauges, hydraulic processes can be monitored, and deviations in operation will be promptly detected.

Welding technology

In welding technology, pressure gauges are primarily used to measure pressure levels in gases. Consider, for example, measuring the pressure of welding gas or protective gas used in welding. Related thermal cutting processes, such as plasma cutting and oxy-fuel cutting, also utilize pressure gauges to ensure efficient cutting operations.

Underfloor heating and central heating systems

In central heating systems, as well as in underfloor heating systems, pressure gauges are always utilized. They are essential for monitoring and maintaining the heating systems. Pressure levels within the systems are measured and indicated by gauges. Additionally, when purging air from underfloor heating systems and CV installations, a pressure gauge comes in handy: by measuring the pressure, one can determine if there is air present in the system and subsequently perform air-purging procedures.

Subsea: Pressure gauges below sea level

Underwater, pressure gauges are employed in various ways, including in submarines, (deep-sea) divers, scientific underwater research, repair of pipelines on the seafloor, or underwater oil wells. Underwater instrumentation must withstand high pressure and, of course, be waterproof. At EMVO Techniek, you can also find pressure gauges designed to perform under extreme pressure.

Offshore applications

In various activities taking place at sea or in the ocean, pressure gauges are essential. In such offshore activities, it is crucial that pressure gauges withstand a salty environment, as well as strong winds, waves, and corrosion. Application examples are drilling and production platforms, as well as other installations on the water, such as offshore wind farms. For all these applications, EMVO Techniek can quickly supply the right pressure gauge.

Petrochemical industry

Pressure gauges play a crucial role in the petrochemical industry. Accurate pressure measurements are essential for the safety, efficiency, and reliability of various processes involved in het processing of crude oil and natural gas into chemical products.

This ensures that processes and tools remain effective, allowing, for example, better regulation of growth conditions.

Swimming pools and pool builders

Pressure gauges are indispensable in swimming pools and pool installations. This applies not only to private pools but certainly also to municipal pools and, for example, the numerous water parks with various spectacular water attractions. Think of wave machines, slides, lazy rivers, whirlpools, and much more. EMVO Techniek is happy to explain the ways in which our pressure gauges are used in the pool sector.

Installation Technology

In installation technology, pressure gauges are utilized to measure pressure in various systems. It is crucial that this is done accurately and precisely, and that the instruments can withstand specific conditions. This may involve extreme temperatures, as well as factors such as vibrations and pressure surges that may occur. At EMVO Techniek, we can supply the right pressure gauge for every application in installation technology. Additionally, you can rely on us for professional advice.
