Pressure Switch Information Resources
Selecting a Pressure Switch
The most important factor in selecting a pressure switch is to fully understand your requirements before beginning the selection process. To determine if a different pressure switch should be used, the following guidelines can be useful. Identify the type of switch currently being used and its operating specifications and then determine the failure mode. Finally, based on the failure mode, consider replacing the switch with one that better meets your system's dynamics and operating needs.Classes, Divisions, Groups & Special Features
This resource aims to clarify all pressure switch attributes, classes, divisions and groups regarding pressure switches. Within this pressure switch resource, there are three different classes, two different divisions, and four different groups.The classes cover different types of hazardous materials and scenarios where unique types of pressure switch configurations could be of use. The divisions explain the conditions in which hazardous materials exist, which are either normal or abnormal conditions. Finally, the groups provide a proper analysis of materials that should be grouped together due to ignition temperatures, explosion pressure and other flammable characteristics of the products at hand.
