Pressure Control Accessories - Ametek

Pressure snubbers are small devices placed in-line with the pressure gauge to dampen sudden pressure fluctuations or pulsations. They help protect the gauge from damage caused by rapid pressure changes, thereby extending its lifespan and ensuring accurate and stable readings. Siphons, gauge cock valves, and pressure snubbers play crucial roles in pressure measurement systems by improving safety, accuracy, and the longevity of pressure gauges in various industrial applications.

A syphon is a simple yet effective tube-shaped device that consists of two legs bent in a U-shape. The purpose of the syphon is to transfer liquid from a higher container or location to a lower one without the need for any external pumping or suction. One leg of the syphon is inserted into the higher container or source of liquid, while the other leg is placed into the lower container. The liquid in the higher container initially fills the syphon's legs, creating a continuous flow due to the difference in pressure between the two ends. Gravity then causes the liquid to flow through the syphon, moving from the higher to the lower container. Syphons are commonly used in various applications, including laboratory experiments, aquariums, irrigation systems, and fluid transfers in industrial processes. They provide a simple and efficient means of transferring liquids over a vertical or horizontal distance without the need for complex pumps or mechanical devices.
