A pressure sensor is an electronic device that detects and measures the force of gases or liquids applied to a surface, and converts these changes into an electrical signal that correlates to the pressure applied.

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.

There’s no doubt that fire sprinklers save lives. They can put a fire out or keep it under control long enough to give the firefighters a real chance to save a building and its occupants.

Our homes gather a lot of dirt and it can sometimes feel like a full-time job just keeping on top of the chores. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to weave some cleaning time into our busy lives and things get neglected.

Fire sprinklers work by detecting a localised increase in heat, which activates isolated sprinklers and water is released. Every sprinkler head contains a heat-sensitive element, such as a fusible link or a glass bulb filled with liquid alcohol, which reacts to heat by melting or breaking, thereby triggering the water release.

Yes, you should use a fire sprinkler. Implementing a fire sprinkler system is a critical safety measure for both residential and commercial properties due to its life-saving benefits.

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.

At Applications Engineering we were delighted to see the recent report released on behalf of the London Assembly Planning Committee by Navin Shah AM.

According to a recent Inside Housing investigation into the prevalence and cost of sprinklers in the social housing sector, sprinklers have suppressed 12 social housing fires since 2010.

The official public Inquiry into the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower is well underway, but what is happening as a result of the tragedy to make people in their homes safe?

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.

Single Pole Double Throw Switches

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