Ignoring or neglecting any aspect of fire safety is a matter of life and death. Fire safety is a non-negotiable priority and fire protection systems like sprinklers must be carefully assessed to ensure they remain in perfect working order.

Legislation for fire safety in the UK is undergoing a substantial change in 2025, with the introduction of new regulations and measures that affect building managers, facilities directors and safety professionals sector-wide.

A pressure transducer measures the pressure of liquids or gases and converts this information into an analogue electrical signal proportional to the pressure applied. It typically consists of a pressure-sensitive element that deforms under pressure and an electrical component that converts this deformation into an electrical signal.

A pressure sensor detects pressure variations in gases or liquids and converts these changes into an analogue electrical signal that correlates to the pressure applied.

An air flow sensor measures the amount of air entering a system, typically to alert an electric controller should the flow rate dip below a specific predetermined level.

A pressure switch utilises and monitors pressure within a system and provides electrical feedback to activate a physical mechanism that opens or closes. Upon detecting pressure changes and when it reaches a certain level, the switch can either activate or deactivate connected equipment, such as compressors, pumps, or valves.

Implementing a fire sprinkler system is a critical safety measure for both residential and commercial properties. Fire sprinklers can quickly suppress fires and thus save lives while reducing property damage.

Fire sprinkler systems are designed to detect and suppress fires automatically. When a dramatic increase in temperature is detected, isolated sprinklers are activated and water is released. 

A solenoid valve uses an electromagnet to control the opening/closing mechanism of an orifice inside a valve body. This, in turn, regulates the flow of liquids or gases.

Commercial and industrial building managers have the unenviable task of ensuring the proper control of multiple critical functions. The flow of liquids and gases, in particular, is a vital operational necessity that building managers must regularly inspect and validate.

Understanding and correctly measuring water pressure is crucial for effectively operating fire sprinkler systems. Whether you’re installing a new system or maintaining an existing one, accurate pressure measurement ensures optimal performance when it matters most.

When it comes to industrial pressure measurement and control, precision is everything.

Two of the most critical components that help maintain optimal system performance are level switches and level transmitters.
