In light of the coronavirus pandemic, you will have likely found yourself working from home over the past year, setting up some form of home office to maintain your focus in.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year, filled with family, fun, magic and – most importantly – presents.

However, the decorations we all put up can pose a significant fire risk when handled incorrectly, so it’s important to do all you can to keep your home as safe from fire as you can throughout the festive period.

Pressure transducers are known by a number of different names including pressure transmitter and pressure switches – and it may be the case that you aren’t really aware of any of them.

Now that the clocks will soon be going back and the nights are getting gradually darker and darker, it’s time to think about winterising your fire sprinkler system.

Pressure transducers are known by many names, including pressure transmitters and pressure sensor, but something they all have in common is that they measure the pressure of a liquid or a gas by converting the pressure into an analog signal.

For those without direct engineering or technical knowledge, the term ‘pressure transducer’ can sound quite overwhelming. But the truth is that pressure transducers are key components in many different pieces of machinery and tools that we take for granted.

Even if you have never heard of flow switches, you will certainly have been affected by them in your day-to-day life. They are a highly important component in many mechanical and industrial devices, as well as those in the home.

There are many different types of pressure switches, sensors, transducers and transmitters. If you’re not familiar with them, or perhaps don’t work in an industry where they aren’t commonly used, then you’d be forgiven for not knowing the difference between them.

Pressure gauges are common components in operations and processing systems for a wide range of industries and applications, including machine and plant engineering, gas distribution, aerospace, automotive, chemical refineries, marine and medical applications.

Level monitoring is critical for accurate fill level data from tanks and storage containers, and for a wide range of engineering projects.

‘All plastic melts in fire’ is one of the most common myths in the fire protection industry. CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) may be a type of plastic, but it’s not true that it will melt and fail in a fire.

Not only do fire sprinklers save lives, they have a huge impact on the extent of damage caused by fire and smoke.
