Schroefverenmeter

A Schroefverenmeter, also known as a helical spring meter, is a type of pressure gauge used to measure fluid pressure. It operates on the principle of a helical spring, which deforms under the influence of pressure. The deformation of the spring is directly proportional to the applied pressure, allowing for accurate pressure measurement.

The Schroefverenmeter consists of a helical spring enclosed in a cylindrical housing. One end of the spring is connected to a piston, which is exposed to the fluid whose pressure is to be measured. The other end of the spring is connected to a pointer or dial, which indicates the pressure on a calibrated scale.

When pressure is applied to the piston, the spring compresses, causing the pointer to move. The amount of movement is proportional to the pressure, allowing for a direct reading of the pressure value. The Schroefverenmeter is known for its simplicity, reliability, and accuracy in measuring low to medium pressure ranges.

The Schroefverenmeter is commonly used in various applications, including hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and industrial processes where pressure monitoring is essential. Its design allows for easy installation and maintenance, making it a popular choice in many industrial settings.
