Contact pressure gauges

WIKA contact pressure gauges: Switching and indicating with a single instrument

Wherever the process pressure has to be indicated locally and, at the same time, limit values must be monitored, contact pressure gauges find their application. The switch contacts make or break the circuit dependent upon the pointer position of the indicating measuring instrument. If the reading is significantly above or below a set value, they trigger an alarm, hence also the term “alarm contact”. Contact pressure gauges are also suitable for starting, stopping or switching processes.

How can I protect a liquid-filled gauge when the media’s temperature is above boiling (212°F/100°C)?

Use a pressure gauge siphon, diaphragm seal, or capillary line. These are all accessories that cool the media’s temperature before reaching the gauge, or separate the media from the instrument.
