Regulator and manometer

Manometer for spray gun

When you are going to spray paint, it is important that your equipment is set correctly. Whether which setting is correct for your setup all depends on which material, paint, varnish or climate conditions are in the spray booth. It is important to make adjustments to achieve the good application. A manometer is retrofit and allows quick and precise setting of the inlet pressure. The manometer is mounted/connected directly to your spray gun.

Regulator vs manometer

A regulator and a pressure gauge are two different devices used in different areas of pressure measurement and control.

Manometer

A manometer is an instrument used to measure and display pressure. It usually consists of a container with some pressure or fluid connection and a scale or display that shows the pressure level. Pressure gauges can be analog or digital and can measure pressure in different units such as psi (pounds per square inch), bar or pascal. They are often used in industry, in the automotive industry and in laboratories to monitor and control pressure in various systems.

Regulator

A regulator, on the other hand, is a device used to control and regulate the pressure in a system. Regulators are used to maintain a constant pressure or to adjust the pressure within certain parameters. They can be mechanical or electronic and work by reducing the pressure from a higher inlet source to a desired or specified outlet pressure. Regulators are used in many applications including gas supply, compressed air systems, hydraulic systems and more.

Combine manometer and regulator

In context, you can say that the manometer measures the pressure, while the regulator controls and adjusts the pressure in a system. Pressure gauges and regulators can sometimes be combined into a unit called a pressure regulator with a built-in pressure gauge, where the gauge shows the pressure level while the regulator controls it.
