Snubber

Snubbers are used to dampen and improve pressure gauge readings by suppressing the effects of pulsation and pressure peaks in the pressure line. The body is machined from bar stock and supplied with an internal stainless steel screw and piston to restrict the flow of the process media. The standard body is manufactured from brass although 316 stainless steel is optionally available.

A suitably located snubber will significantly increase the life of a pressure gauge on demanding applications such as reciprocating pumps and copmpressors, hydraulic presses or fluid power systems. Snubbers are typically used with glycerine filled pressure gauges.
