Get to know snipers and their types

A pressure snubber is a device used to suppress excessive pressure or rapid movement in mechanical systems. The pressure receiver is designed to attenuate the effect of pressure pulses and spikes to ensure greater durability and readability of barometers in difficult applications. Available in a range of porous designs, pistons or regulators.

These units can control a wide range of media, from air and other gases to water, steam, gasoline and oils.
Pressure snubber operates continuously in pressure fluctuations. The shock absorbers do not change the process pressure, but reduce the line rate, which increases the read stability of the empty meter while increasing the effective life of the meter.

Damper should not be used when one is concerned with measuring rapid and transient pressures (for example, to start safety locks in increasing pressures), as it delays the immune system response.

 Types of sphygmomanometers:

Porous disk failure:

In low-cost applications, the damping spectrum is a porous disk type (also known as a "filter type"). The fixed disk creates a semi-closed barrier between the inlet pressure and the pressure gauge hole. The pressure is connected to that disk and its force is distributed through the metal mesh, reducing it so as not to damage the meter. The pressure gradually increases, so that the meter does not jump out of gear and the Bourdon tube does not explode.

Piston gun type:

Piston damper has a slightly more advanced design that is self-cleaning. Often designed in two parts, the piston moves freely inside the shock absorber, acting as a barrier to a rapid increase in pressure. When the pressure rises too fast, the piston is forced against the hole leading to the manometer and stops flowing for milliseconds.
The diameter of the piston and the empty space inside it Snubber determines the "damping" speed required.

Adjustable snubber:

Adjustable snubbers take adjustment accuracy to another level. Many of them use a combination of a control ball to block the oscillating wave and the type of throttle to soften the flow of material per meter. The ball control method is very similar to a piston damper, because it is a passive element until a rapid change in pressure is applied.
Even adjustable shock absorbers without ball control can be effective in softening a large number of pulses thanks to the integrated throttle valve. If necessary, it can be replaced with a regular needle valve.
Many adjustable snubbers also have the advantage of a sturdy seal, allowing the operator to provide the meter for repair or removal.
