Pressure Snubbers to Protect Against Pressure Surges

If your system has pressure spikes, waterhammers, pressure pulsations from a pump, or rapid pressure changes, using a pressure snubber can significantly prolong the life of your sensors. A pressure snubber dampens the spikes and surges that, over time, will cause a pressure gage or transducer to fail. The pressure snubber has a porous metal disk that protects your gage/transducer.

Easy to install, the snubber goes between the gage/transducer and the process. A pressure snubber should be used whenever there is a question about what type of pressure fluctuations a gage/transducer might experience. PS Series pressure snubbers will fit almost all industrial pressure gages and transducers.

The snubber has a porous metal disc available in three standard grades of porosity. Due to the large filter surface the snubber has less tendency to clog than orifice type devices. The housing is 303SS and the filter disc is 316SS.

Maximum pressure:

PS-2 and PS-4 series (1/2" and 1/4"): 10 000 PSI
PS-8 series (1/8"): 5000 PSI

Note: please note that the finish of pressure snubbers may vary. The flat surfaces on snubbers you receive may have a smooth and machined appearance or they may have a textured, shot-peened appearance. These are merely cosmetic differences that do not affect the functionality and performance of the product.
