Breather Plug

The Breather Plug is a critical component used in mechanical equipment and industrial facilities to ensure proper gas pressure balance within the equipment or system. This little gadget is used in a wide range of applications, including vehicle engines and industrial piping systems.
 

The operating idea of Breather Plug is primarily based on its unique internal structure and material qualities, which allow for gas exchange and pressure adjustment. Breather plug is often made up of one or more small holes that allow gas to pass through while preventing liquid and solid particles from doing the same. When the pressure inside the device rises, the gas is discharged through the small holes of the vent plug, lowering the internal pressure; when the pressure drops, external gas enters the device through the small holes of the vent plug, increasing the internal pressure. In this approach, the Breather Plug may exchange gases between the device's inside and the outside environment while maintaining a steady internal pressure.
 

1.A Breather Plug is often made of metal or plastic and contains microscopic pores or filters that allow gas to freely travel between the inside and outside of the equipment while preventing particles or liquids from entering the interior.
2. Helps to keep the pressure inside the equipment from becoming too high or too low, protects the equipment from damage, and maintains regular operation.
3. Breather Plugs are commonly used in car engines' oil tanks or transmission systems to prevent excessive evaporation or leakage of oil under high temperatures and pressure.
4. In industrial piping systems, these plugs can be employed in gas or liquid pipes to help the system remain stable and reliable.
5. Breather Plugs prevent oxygen and other dangerous substances from entering the apparatus.

IP68 M24 Breather plug expanded ePTFE Materials are also hydrophobic, breathable. They can be used as a "dust cover" without interfering with the performance of the electrochemistry. Smart Membrane Expanded PTFE Materials can control the flow of gas into the sensor to a slow but steady flow.
