Applications of pressure gauges

Pressure gauges are fundamental instruments for measuring the pressure of fluids (gases and liquids).  Thanks to their simple structure, accurate measurements, and wide range of applications, they are widely used in various fields, including industrial production, public services, and scientific research. The following is a detailed classification of their core application areas:

Industrial Manufacturing

This is the most crucial application area for pressure gauges, covering almost all process industries and equipment manufacturing sectors.

Petrochemical Industry

Used to monitor pressure parameters in crude oil extraction, oil and gas pipelines, refining units, chemical reactors, and storage tanks to prevent safety accidents such as leaks and explosions caused by overpressure.

Typical scenarios: Oil and gas wellhead pressure monitoring, chemical synthesis tower pressure control, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tank pressure detection.

Metallurgical Industry

Pressure monitoring of hydraulic systems, cooling water circuits, and gas pipelines in blast furnaces, converters, and rolling mill equipment to ensure stable smelting processes and safe equipment operation.

Power Industry

Thermal power: Pressure measurement of boiler drums, steam pipelines, and feedwater pumps is a key monitoring indicator for the safe operation of generator sets;

Hydropower: Pressure monitoring of water turbine inlets and pressure steel pipes;

Nuclear power: Pressure monitoring of the primary and secondary cooling systems, requiring extremely high equipment reliability.

Machinery Manufacturing and Equipment Industry

Pressure detection of hydraulic/pneumatic systems in injection molding machines, hydraulic presses, and air compressors to ensure stable equipment output and precise movements;

Pressure monitoring of hydraulic circuits in machine tools and construction machinery (excavators, cranes) to prevent system overload damage.
