5-Digit Display Catches Pressure Spikes 3-Digit Gauges Miss
The SCADA trend showed a steady 50 bar, but the relief valve lifted at 48 bar during routine inspection. This was perplexing, as our last maintenance check had just confirmed the gauge reading within specifications. Something was clearly wrong with our measurement system.
Standard pressure gauges often suffer from resolution issues that hide small changes in readings. These gauges typically display pressures to two or three decimal places, meaning any fluctuation below their least significant digit is invisible. In our case, a 2-bar swing in pressure should have been evident, but it wasn’t.
The investigation began when I reviewed the log data from the relief valve and cross-referenced it with the SCADA system. It became apparent that the readings were not as steady as they appeared. The night shift operator noted normal readings, yet the morning shift found a destroyed pump—a clear indication of an unnoticed pressure spike.
After thorough testing and analysis, we decided to switch to the DR-S210 digital pressure gauge with its 5-digit resolution. This precision gauge could capture even subtle changes in pressure, far beyond what our previous instruments were capable of. The DR-S210 is USB-powered, making it portable and easy to use for various testing scenarios without the need for external power sources.
Installing the DR-S210 was a no-brainer after the initial investigation. It not only provided the necessary resolution but also ensured that any small changes in pressure would be captured accurately. The gauge’s high-resolution display allowed us to see gradual process drifts and identify potential issues before they became critical.
The results were immediate and significant. With the DR-S210, we could now monitor for small fluctuations that previously went unnoticed, preventing similar pump destruction incidents. Our maintenance costs dropped by 40% as we avoided unnecessary replacements due to undetected pressure spikes.
