Pressure Measurement & Control


Drinking water instrumentation

October 2007 Pressure Measurement & Control

Sufficient supply of clean drinking water from resources is a prerequisite for life and survival on Earth. Whether recovered from deep wells, lakes, rivers or from sea-water desalination, after processing in various treatment plants, water is supplied indirectly in products or directly to the consumer.

Pressure monitoring

To enable the supply of drinking water to even the remotest consumer, pumping stations are necessary, ensuring sufficient levels of water pressure. Consumer expectations are high with regards to the quality of the water and the minimum water pressure. The pressure of the water is therefore continuously monitored and regulated.

The Vegabar 52 pressure transmitter is suitable for this measurement application. The measuring cell is not affected by pressure variations and all materials which are in contact with the medium conform to food standards, therefore also ideally suited for drinking water.

Dry running protection

The Vegaswing 61 can be used as dry running protection for drinking water pumps. With its short tuning fork of 40 mm the instrument ensures reliable performance even in pipelines with a small diameter.
