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 circuits 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.

What can I do if the medium temperature with filled-gauges is over 212°F (100°C)?

You can use a pressure gauge syphon, a diaphragm seal or a capillary line as an additional cooling element in order to lower the medium temperature.
