Pressure Control Accessories - Ametek

Pressure snubbers smooth out pressure spikes and pulsations before they reach gauges, switches and transmitters. Damping the surges gives steadier readings and helps instruments last longer, especially near pumps, compressors and quick-closing valves.

Snubber Types

• Porous metal disc snubbers – sintered elements for gases and light liquids
• Piston snubbers – self-cleaning action for dirtier fluids
• Adjustable snubbers – tune the damping to your system
• Brass and stainless steel – match media compatibility

Choosing a Snubber

Select the element grade based on fluid viscosity: finer discs for air and water, coarser for oils. Match thread sizes to your gauge and process connection. For very severe pulsation, combine a snubber with a liquid-filled gauge.

Centro carries pressure snubbers and gauge accessories to protect your instruments.

A syphon is a simple yet effective tube-shaped device that consists of two legs bent in a U-shape. The purpose of the syphon is to transfer liquid from a higher container or location to a lower one without the need for any external pumping or suction. One leg of the syphon is inserted into the higher container or source of liquid, while the other leg is placed into the lower container. The liquid in the higher container initially fills the syphon's legs, creating a continuous flow due to the difference in pressure between the two ends. Gravity then causes the liquid to flow through the syphon, moving from the higher to the lower container. Syphons are commonly used in various applications, including laboratory experiments, aquariums, irrigation systems, and fluid transfers in industrial processes. They provide a simple and efficient means of transferring liquids over a vertical or horizontal distance without the need for complex pumps or mechanical devices.
