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.

In our last blog we shared and busted 5 myths about residential fire sprinkler systems. Today we bring you part 2. Contrary to what many people think, we are not at the greatest risk from fire in hotels or other public places, but it is actually at home where we feel the safest.

We’d like to bust some of the myths circulating about fire sprinkler systems and furnish you with the cold hard facts. Put purely and simply, fire sprinkler systems save lives.
