Description

Process Gauge is designed to meet the demanding needs of the chemical and petroleum processing industries.  The design and materials of construction provide reliable service in applications where corrosive atmospheres, corrosive media, pressure pulsation, vibration, and wide variations in ambient temperatures are present

Ranges: Vacuum  to 20,000 psi
Protection degree: IP66
Liquid filling: Glycerin or dry fill able execution

Protection
– If pressure gauges are to be used for steam service, a siphon tube filled with water must be installed between gauge and line to prevent live steam from entering the Bourdon tube.
– A gauge cock should be installed in the pressure line. This might be the standard shut-off valve or a needle valve for throttling pressure pulses.
– If severe pulsation exists, the gauge should be protected by adding a throttling orifice
screw in the gauge socket or by addition of a pulsation damper, such as a snubber.
– A diaphragm seal should be used in applications where process media should not come in contact with gauge.
