Fluid Handling Technology News & Innovations
Fluid pressure control is used to control and regulate the difference of pressure applied by liquids, gases and plasmas in hydraulic systems between two levels. Pressure control systems are found in almost every hydraulic system, and they assist in a variety of functions, from keeping system pressures safely below a desired limit to maintaining a set pressure in (part of) a circuit. Poor pressure control can cause major quality, safety and productivity problems.
Pressure measurement of fluids is the measuring of a force per unit area applied by liquids, gates and plasmas. Pressure measurement of fluids can be either static (no motion) or dynamic (in motion). This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in pressure control and measurement of fluids.
The pressure inside of a pipe can be different than the ambient pressure outside of the process. A pressure drop in the system can be caused by friction or a physical obstruction in the pipe that results in a loss of line pressure.

Armand Bergsma (Pressure Control Solutions BV)Armand Bergsma has 20+ years of experience in precision pressure control solutions and flow control instruments. After 15+ years with Bronkhorst High-Tech, specializing in precision process automation, he started PCS early 2016. In less than 5 years, he has built a customer base throughout Northwest Europe consisting of almost 500 companies and > 2.000 engineers, such as R&D, analytical companies, catalysis and electrolysis, pilot plants, system integrators, oil & gas companies, new energy, (bio)pharmaceutical and biotech companies, food & beverage production, and many more. It is safe to say that Armand has built a steady image for PCS to be the go-to-expert in pressure control in Northwest Europe. With his experience and wide network of chemical- and process engineers as well as a solid network of suppliers and business partners, Armand is confident he can help solve most pressure related questions out there – either out of his knowledge or through the reliable team and network that he has built over the years. Armand is a strong believer in knowledge sharing as the basis for growth and innovation and is, therefore, an enthusiastic sparring partner for his customers. Armand values quality, technology and sustainability as the basis for any answer to pressure related issues.
Gregg Johnson (Cole-Parmer)Gregg Johnson, Sr. Global Product Manager, Cole-Parmer is a 40 year veteran of the fluid handling industry. His experience covers fluid handling applications in all industries and product development in peristaltic pump technology. His early career focused on product development with the Masterflex® brand peristaltic pumps managing development of the core digital pump drive products, the Easy-Load® pump head technology and consumable tubing development. He went out to industry to learn other pumping technologies with both centrifugal and positive displacement pump manufacturers. In 2000, he was recruited back to Cole-Parmer to become the Global Product Manager where he oversees product development from concept to launch.With OPTIBAR PM 3050, KROHNE introduces a new compact pressure transmitter for pressure and level applications with 2-wire 4…20mA HART communication.
