Differential pressure switches play a crucial role in various industrial and engineering applications, from water management systems and energy distribution to chemical processing plants.

Precise flow measurements are crucial for maintaining efficiency, safety, and productivity in industrial applications.

Kytola’s VA Smart variable area flow meters with mA output are at the forefront of this technology, offering a robust solution for applications that demand both on-site visual readings and remote monitoring capabilities.

Fire sprinklers play a crucial role in saving lives and protecting assets in residential and commercial buildings. Research conducted by the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) suggests that fire sprinkler systems successfully control and extinguish fires in almost all residential and commercial cases.

Fire sprinkler systems are a crucial fire protection feature in many buildings throughout the UK. The valves in these systems play an important role in controlling water flow and ensuring adequate pressure is available when needed.

Here at Applications Engineering, we provide a wide range of high-quality mechanical switches and sensors, catering for a variety of applications across many industries. Our range includes pressure switches, flow switches and sensors and fire sprinkler valve systems.

In the world of pressure measurements, two terms often come up: pressure transducers and pressure transmitters.

While these products serve similar purposes, there are subtle differences between them that are important to understand.

Fire sprinkler systems play a pivotal role in protecting lives, properties, and businesses from the devastating impacts of fires. With all intricate mechanisms, valves, and pipes operating properly, they represent one of the most effective ways to quickly control and suppress fires before they spiral completely out of control.

UK summers are often joked about as being virtually non-existent. However, recent summer months have seen temperatures reach record highs not seen in decades, so those outdated preconceptions that the UK never gets warm seem to be, fading into obscurity.

Single Pole Double Throw Switches

If you work with electrical systems or circuits, you’ve likely encountered various switches controlling the flow of electricity.

For those outside the world of engineering, the term solenoid valve may fall on deaf ears. However, if you’re responsible for upholding a building’s water system stability and safety, particularly in commercial or industrial infrastructure, you may have come across them before.

Monitoring and analysing pressure levels is crucial across many commercial and industrial applications – from hydraulic equipment to combustion engines, to name just a couple.

When it comes to commercial or industrial fire sprinkler systems, you cannot be too careful.

These systems are inherently designed and installed to detect, control, and extinguish fires should they break out; they ultimately play an invaluable role in protecting life, minimising damage, and preserving building stability.
