In modern fire protection systems, controlling water flow efficiently and reliably is critical. Doing so relies on a multitude of components, switches and valves internally working together to provide optimal water flow and pressure.

When it comes to commercial fire safety, staying ahead of the curve is paramount.

As regulations evolve and technology advances, it’s crucial to adopt fire protection products and solutions that not only meet current standards but also provide enhanced protection and efficiency.

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

As the colder months approach, building owners and facilities managers across the UK must turn their attention to an often-overlooked aspect of building safety: preparing their fire sprinkler systems for winter.

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.

When it comes to commercial and industrial processes involving liquids, vapours or gases, the ability to accurately measure flow is vital. Without precise flow monitoring, the risk of major safety incidents rises, not to mention the fact that operators could also potentially see production prove ineffective and resources go to waste.
