Gauge Supplier in the Vaal Triangle

Blanes Pressure Solutions is your local gauge supplier in the Vaal Triangle. We are based right here at 44 Mercury Street, Naledi Industrial Park, Vaalpark, Sasolburg – in the heart of the region – which means customers across the Vaal get fast, hands-on support from a supplier who is genuinely on their doorstep rather than dispatching from Johannesburg.

Blanes Pressure Solutions was founded in 2002 to take over the pressure business of Blanes Instruments CC, and can trace its pedigree back to 1893. That long history means you are dealing with a specialist supplier of pressure instrumentation that understands real-world process conditions in South African industry.

The Areas We Cover in the Vaal Triangle

The Vaal Triangle is the industrial region south of Johannesburg, anchored by three major towns. As a local gauge supplier, we serve all of them:

Sasolburg – our home base in Vaalpark, and the petrochemical heart of the region.
Vanderbijlpark – the steel and heavy-engineering hub of the Vaal.
Vereeniging – an established manufacturing and industrial centre.

We also supply customers throughout the greater Vaal region, either directly or through distributors.

Our Gauge Range

Blanes supplies a comprehensive range of pressure measurement instruments, backed by relationships with some of the world’s foremost manufacturers. Our gauge range includes:

Blanes VRM gauges – a Vibration Resistant Movement design that keeps the pointer steady under vibration and pulsating pressure, without the need for glycerine or silicone filling.
Blanes Industrial Gauges – attractively priced gauges for applications that require stainless-steel wetted components in the process fluid.
Budenberg test gauges – high-accuracy test and reference gauges, supplied with calibration certificates traceable to national standards and meeting EN837.
US Gauge – small-diameter, low-cost and OEM gauges.
Digital pressure gauges – microprocessor-controlled gauges offering precision, stability and portability.
Differential pressure (DP) gauges for demanding process applications.

We also supply our own range of chemical seals, designed locally to suit South African conditions, which extend the utility of our full range of instruments.

More Than Just Gauges

While gauges are at the core of what we do, Blanes is a single-source supplier for pressure measurement and control. Alongside gauges we offer switches, transmitters, valves and manifolds, and a range of accessories – so Vaal Triangle customers can source almost everything they need from one place, from a product basket designed to work together.

Why a Local Vaal Triangle Gauge Supplier Matters

The Vaal Triangle is home to some of South Africa’s largest petrochemical, steel and manufacturing operations. Our market is the process industry – our customers range from pump and compressor manufacturers through to the chemical, mining, power generation and pulp/paper industries.

Being based in Vaalpark means we can respond quickly and provide practical, application-specific advice – helping you choose the right gauge, switch or transmitter for your actual process rather than guesswork. When a plant depends on accurate measurement, local technical support is a real advantage.

Calibration, Service and Aftercare

Supplying gauges is one thing; proving they are accurate is another. Blanes provides SANAS-traceable calibrations for gauges and deadweight testers, complete with certificates typically valid for one year. We hold primary pressure standards from 1,5 kPa pressure/vacuum right up to 60 MPa, as well as electrical standards, and these are regularly certified by SANAS-accredited laboratories – giving you full confidence in the chain of traceability.

We also run a workshop where we build pressure gauges and chemical seals, which means many items can be serviced, calibrated and repaired locally with fast turnaround for Vaal Triangle customers.
