Pressure snubbers

Description

Pressure Snubber – Description:

Pressure Snubber also known as dampener was designed to protect pressure measuring instruments such as pressure gauges from rapid pulsations or sudden hydraulic shocks.  The damping is achieved by the adjustment of a needle tip that restricts the flow, and therefore protects the pressure gauge against pulsations.  A unique feature of this design is that the adjustment to the damping can be made after installation in the system.  Use of pressure snubbers increase the life span of the pressure sensing instruments in applications where vibrations and pressure surges are inevitable.   Adjustable Snubbers are recommended in applications above 5 PSI pressure ratings. For lower pressure application piston type, sintered or screwed with controlled orifice type snubbers are recommended.
