Pressure Gauge with Diaphragm Seal Assembly

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Product Overview

A Pressure Gauge with Diaphragm Seal Assembly (also known as a gauge/diaphragm seal system or gauge/isolator assembly) combines a standard Bourdon tube pressure gauge with a chemically resistant diaphragm seal into a single integrated measurement solution. The flexible metallic diaphragm physically separates the gauge's wetted parts from the process media, while a precisely metered quantity of fill fluid (silicone oil, food-grade oil, or inert halocarbon) transmits the process pressure hydraulically to the gauge. This assembly is the universal solution for measuring pressure of corrosive, viscous, clogging, or ultra-high-purity media that would destroy or contaminate a directly connected gauge, providing reliable measurement without the maintenance penalties of a remote diaphragm seal connected via a capillary tube.

Key Features

  • Integrated assembly eliminates the need for impulse line connections — reducing potential leak points to a single diaphragm weld and one connection fitting, versus multiple pipe joints in a conventional impulse line installation.
  • Broad diaphragm material selection (SS 316L, Hastelloy C-276, Monel, Tantalum, PTFE-lined) covers the full spectrum of corrosive media encountered in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing without requiring a separate corrosion engineer review for each application.
  • Optional remote capillary connection (1–10 m) allows the gauge head to be mounted at a safe, readable location away from extreme temperature, vibration, or physical hazard zones while the diaphragm seal remains at the process connection point.

Typical Use Cases

  • Chemical Reactors: Measuring pressure of strong acids (HCl, H₂SO₄, HF) and alkalis (NaOH, KOH) that would corrode standard copper alloy wetted gauges within weeks.
  • Sanitary Food & Beverage: Hygienic diaphragm seal with Tri-Clamp connection and food-grade fill fluid for pressure monitoring on product lines where direct gauge contact would compromise purity.
  • High-Temperature Processes: Capillary-type diaphragm seal assembly removes the gauge from hot surfaces (up to 400°C process temperature) by using a capillary to cool the fill fluid before it enters the gauge body.
  • Viscous & Clogging Media: Flush diaphragm seal face prevents the small ports of standard gauges from clogging with heavy oils, waxes, slurries, and crystallizing solutions.
  • Oxygen & Chlorine Service: Halocarbon fill fluid (completely inert to oxidizing media) in a degreased assembly provides safe pressure indication in oxygen pipelines and chlorine treatment systems.
