About The Application Of Stainless Steel Filled Gauge

Companies in the biotechnology, chemical, food processing, petrochemical, oil refining and other industries rely on gauges to keep their operations running properly. For engineers and technicians at these and other facilities, stainless steel filled gauge serve critical roles for ensuring the safety and efficiency of various processes.

 

Working Principle of Stainless Steel Filled Gauge

The components of stainless steel filled gauge: joint, stainless steel spring tube, sealing sheet, movement, connecting rod, dial (dial), pointer, sealing ring, case.

 

The measured pressure enters the spring tube through the joint, and under the action of pressure or vacuum, the spring tube produces elastic deformation, causing the end of the spring tube to shift. Its displacement is amplified by the mechanical transmission mechanism (connecting rod and movement) and transmitted to the indicating device, and then the pressure or vacuum value is indicated by the deflection of the pointer on the dial.

 

The Stainless Steel Filled Gauge Should Be Installed Correctly

---The meter should be installed perpendicular to the horizontal plane;

---The measuring point of the pressure instrument is at the same horizontal position as the instrument installation, and the additional height error is corrected;

---The distance between the instrument installation place and the measuring point should be as short as possible to avoid slow indication;

---Ensure the tightness, and there should be no leakage, especially for those flammable and explosive gas media and toxic and harmful media.

 

Industrial Applications of The Stainless Steel Filled Gauge

Chemical industries – companies in biotechnology, chemical, petrochemical and oil refining industries rely on stainless steel gauges to keep their operation on track. Stainless steel is the most ideal option in corrosive environments where acetone, ammonia, dry carbon dioxide or creosote is present. Where high temperature is a concern, the stainless steel gauges are the only choice to maintain the integrity of the system. A process gauge that is enclosed in a fiberglass case may be unsuitable with these industries that work with highly corrosive chemicals.

 

Water and wastewater treatment facilities – designed to meet the rigors of wastewater treatment application, stainless steel gauges are offered with a rugged, all welded socket-to-case design for superior strength. When vibration and pulsation are a factor, stainless steel gauges have improved shock resistance. The instrument is also supplied with seals and capillaries that will address the most demanding chemical or sludge-based media in wastewater treatment facilities.

 

Petrochemical processing – stainless steel gauges for petrochemical plants are used as oil and gas gauges for upstream and midstream applications. In the petrochemical industry, Bourbon tube stainless steel gauges are the preferred instrument to ensure accuracy and comply with industry standards.

 

Food and beverage processing – Stainless steel gauges allow for easy cleaning and sterilization to ensure consumer safety in the finished product. The gauges include features that include resistance to extreme temperatures, sealed for wash down environments, reliable and continuous moisture measurement and reliable operations in high temperature locations.

 

Regardless of the application, industrial and process grade pressure gauges with stainless steel components provide reliability, high accuracy and long service life in the harshest conditions.
