How Does An Electric Contact Pressure Gauge Enhance Process Control
2025-11-28
In the world of industrial automation, precise and reliable pressure monitoring is non-negotiable for optimal process control. An Electric Contact Pressure Gauge is a pivotal instrument that elevates this control from simple monitoring to active system management. At CSHERUN, we engineer these devices to provide not just data, but actionable intelligence for your operations, ensuring stability, safety, and efficiency.
Unlike standard gauges that only provide a visual reading, an Electric Contact Pressure Gauge integrates electrical switches that activate at pre-set pressure points. This allows the gauge to directly control equipment like pumps, compressors, or alarms, automating responses to pressure changes. The key parameters that define its performance and reliability include:
-
High Accuracy: Ensures process stability and product quality.
-
Repeatability: Provides consistent switching for dependable control.
-
High IP Rating: Protects against dust and moisture for harsh environments.
-
Adjustable Set Points: Offer flexibility for different process requirements.
The following table outlines the core specifications of the CSHERUN E-Series Electric Contact Pressure Gauge, demonstrating its robust design:

Electric Contact Pressure Gauge FAQ
What is the main advantage of an electric contact gauge over a digital transmitter?
The primary advantage is simplicity and cost-effectiveness for direct control applications. While digital transmitters are excellent for continuous data recording, an Electric Contact Pressure Gauge provides a robust, standalone solution for automatic shut-down or alarm functions without needing a complex PLC programming.
Can the set points on a CSHERUN gauge be easily adjusted?
Yes. CSHERUN gauges feature externally adjustable set points. Using a simple tool, our engineers can easily calibrate the high and low alarm or control points without removing the gauge from the process line, saving valuable time and maintenance effort.
In which industries are these gauges most commonly used?
Electric Contact Pressure Gauge units are vital in industries where safety and automation are critical. This includes water treatment plants for pump control, hydraulic and pneumatic systems for machinery protection, and HVAC systems for monitoring refrigerant and water pressure.
Precise control is the foundation of efficient and safe industrial operations. The CSHERUN E-Series Electric Contact Pressure Gauge delivers this with robust construction, reliable switching, and exceptional accuracy. Don't let inconsistent pressure control disrupt your process.
