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.
As part of a redesign, Stauff offers the QRC-HI threaded coupling for pressures up to 720 bar with a highly effective, zinc-nickel-based corrosion protection coating. The individual coding is another new feature, allowing quick identification and traceability of each individual coupling.

Dwyer Instruments recently met with Aaron, a customer working on a project in West Virginia who needed to replace pressure transmitters on water transfer pump skids.
Read moreControlAir LLC, a leading manufacturer of precision pneumatic
and electro‐pneumatic controls, is pleased to announce that its Type 6100 Aluminum and Type 6200
Stainless Steel Large Flow Capacity Volume Boosters were awarded a Certificate of Compliance to IEC
61508 for a SIL 3 safety rating.
From measurement to recording – Stauff is taking this small but decisive step for maintenance and documentation with the latest generation of digital pressure gauges. They can optionally be equipped with a data logger and a USB interface. The measured values can therefore be used in many different ways.

Dave Grumney (Hawk Measurement Systems)Dave is Vice President of Sales at Hawk Measurement (HAWK) and has more than 40 years of experience in the process instrumentation industry. Dave started working as an outside sales engineer in 1979 for his father’s company, AO Grumney. While there, he learned the importance of value added selling and superior customer support. He later became a manufacturer’s rep for various companies such as Siemens, Miltonic’s, AMETEK and many others. Several years later, Dave started his own company, Delta Instrumentation, a manufacturers’ rep agency which serves the process instrumentation and automation industries. In 1989 Dave started FLO-CORP, a US manufacturing company of flow, level and monitoring instrumentation. Through manufacturing his own line of process instrumentation, he found it allowed him to gain more control over origin of product, quality and lead times. In 2019, FLO-CORP merged companies with Hawk Measurement, the world leader in level, positioning, asset monitoring and flow measurement technology that provides cutting-edge equipment and complete solutions to the global industrial market. Throughout his wide range of experiences as sales engineer, sales rep, president, owner and CEO, the position he currently holds at Hawk Measurement as VP of Sales, allows him to do what he loves. Dave has always had a passion for meeting new people, building relationships and helping customers solve problems. His values align with HAWK’s as they are committed to providing best-in-class products, services and technologies that will have unsurpassed value to their customers.
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.
