Light to Medium Duty
General Description
Our quality differential pressure gauges are designed to
measure the difference in pressure between two points
in a system and show it on a single dial gauge. A magnetic
movement senses the differential pressure. The gauge has
separate pressure and indicating chambers.
These diaphragm instruments can indicate small values
of differential pressure even when used at high line pressures.
They provide instantaneous and continuous information
regarding system conditions helping in eliminating
premature servicing of equipment, avoid unscheduled
down time of costly processes and can detect abnormal
system conditions.
Gauges can be supplied with reed switches to initiate
alarms, activate other equipment or to shut the system
down. Two switches are used when high and low limits are
desired. Gauge-switch models provide the user with both
gauge readout and switch operation.
Applications
Monitor filter conditions, set filter by-pass, or initiate filter
cleaning cycle. Determine obstructions in process lines.
Check condition of pumps, heat exchangers and other
processing equipment. Adjust flow rates in piping systems.
Monitor liquid levels in storage tanks.
Operating Principle
High and low pressures are separated by a sensor assembly
consisting of a magnet, piston or diaphragm and a
range spring. The difference in pressure causes the sensor
assembly to move in proportion to the change against a
range spring. A rotary magnet, located in a separate body
cavity and isolated from the acting pressures, is rotated
by magnetic coupling as per the linear movement of the
sensor assembly. A pointer attached to the rotary magnet
indicates differential pressure on the dial.
Reed switches are located adjacent to the pressure chamber
and are activated by the magnetic field of the sensor
assembly.
Medium to Heavy Duty
General Description
A range of economically priced 100mm and 150mm nominal
size differential pressure gauges ideally suited to most
medium to heavy duty industrial applications where accuracy
and durability is required.
A choice of mounting options enables simple installation
- either direct mounting to the process, in a panel, surface
mounting on a wall or with a vertical or horizontal pipe
mounting.
DP360, DP370 and DP362 instruments are available with
electrical contact head options and can be fitted with diaphragm
seal units. The DP range of differential pressure gauges is also available
with a wide range of options including Monel 400 and
Hastelloy C276 wetted parts, oxygen cleaning and liquid
filled cases. 3 valve and 5 valve integral manifolds are also
* 200 & 400 bar maximum static pressure options available. |
