Mechanical Pressure Gauges | Corrosion-Resistance – Tecsis P2351 / P2353 / P2361 / P2363

Contact pressure gauges with electrical alarm contacts are suitable for controlling or regulating process sequences. The contacts open or close electrical circuits in relation to the position of the pointer on the pressure gauge. Our contact pressure gauges with the Bourdon tube system are used at process pressures of approximately 1 bar and upwards. The materials used make the gauges suitable for chemically aggressive gases or liquids, although these may not be too viscous or be susceptible to crystallization. The inexpensive tried and tested Bourdon tube system coupled with a modern modular principle provides a very reliable yet inexpensive contact pressure gauge.

Gauges with liquid filling are damped if pressure pulses or mechanical vibrations arise. This extends the service life and the gauge display remains largely vibration free. The location of the pressure connection at the bottom or back allows different methods of installation. Electrical alarm contacts are used as magnetic snap-action contacts, especially in harsh industrial conditions. The high contact pressure and the choice of different electrical contact materials enable high currents to be switched reliably. If the electrical switching capacities of the alarm contacts are exceeded or not reached, a relay is to be used to provide an appropriate current rating.

Inductive alarm contacts operate without physical contact and thus have no unfavourable effects on the pressure measuring system while having an unlimited service life. A control unit is always needed to operate these contacts. Contact pressure gauges with inductive alarm contacts can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, provided that the appropriate regulations are complied with. These pressure gauges are especially suited for monitoring Gas density inclosed SF6 gas tanks. Because of the hermetically sealed, they are applicable for outdoor installation. One or max. 3 snap-action contacts are non-adjustable and secured by fabrication. The used measurement system were tested with Helium leakage rate < 1×10-8 mbar l s-1 .
