Understanding Diaphragm Seal Pressure Gauges A Wika Service Perspective

In the world of pressure measurement, diaphragm seal pressure gauges have carved out a significant place due to their reliability and ability to handle harsh environments. Wika, an industry leader in pressure, temperature, and level measurement technology, offers a range of diaphragm seal pressure gauges that cater to various industrial needs. This article explores the functionality, advantages, and specific applications of diaphragm seal pressure gauges, emphasizing Wika's commitment to quality and service.

What is a Diaphragm Seal Pressure Gauge?

A diaphragm seal pressure gauge consists of a pressure gauge combined with a diaphragm seal, which separates the measuring element from the process media. The diaphragm, usually made from materials resistant to corrosion and wear, responds to pressure changes in the process fluid. These changes are then translated into readings on the gauge. This design is particularly advantageous when dealing with

1. Aggressive or Corrosive Liquids Many industrial processes involve chemicals that can damage traditional pressure gauges. Diaphragm seals protect sensitive instruments from the effects of these media.

2. Viscous and Paste-like Fluids In scenarios where the process media is viscous or contains particulates, diaphragm seals prevent clogging and ensure accurate readings.

3. Sanitary Applications In industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals, maintaining hygienic standards is paramount. Diaphragm seals can be designed to meet stringent sanitary requirements.
