The key to the superior performance and efficiency of Chemiquip Pressure snubbers is the corrosion-resistant porous membrane used as the snubbing element.
With a Chemiquip Snubber positioned up-stream of a pressure sensitive instrument, the instrument response to system pressure changes is at a rate in proportion to the pressure differential across the snubber element. A moderately rapid, smooth response of the pressure-sensitive instrument is obtained, free of transient surges or pulsations. The snubber is calibrated to give an equilibrium reading, up-scale or down-scale, in approximately 2-3 seconds.
Instrument failure due to pressure shock is eliminated
Chemiquip Snubbers conform with Specifications MIL-S-2940B (Dampeners, Fluid Pressure, Gauge Protection). In addition to style and size of parts specified, Chemiquip Snubbers are available in a wide variety of other sizes and connections.
